Common Mental Health Disorders We Treat
At the Behavioral Health Center at Porter Health Village in Norman, OK, we provide specialized inpatient and outpatient care for adults and seniors living with a variety of mental health and substance use conditions. Our team of experienced professionals partners with each patient to create a treatment plan built on clinical expertise, compassion, and a commitment to long-term wellness.
Depression Treatment
Depression can leave individuals feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or emotionally disconnected. Our personalized treatment plans address emotional, physical, and behavioral symptoms, helping patients regain motivation, improve mood, and reconnect with what matters most.
Bipolar Disorder Treatment
Bipolar disorder involves periods of depression and elevated mood. Our care focuses on stabilizing mood swings, improving awareness, and teaching tools that help individuals maintain balance and reduce disruption in daily life.
ADHD Treatment
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder can make it difficult to stay organized or focused. We help patients identify how ADHD affects their behavior and emotions, offering skill-building therapies and, when appropriate, medication support.
OCD Treatment
Obsessive-compulsive disorder can cause individuals to feel trapped in cycles of intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors. We offer targeted therapy and support strategies like exposure and response prevention (ERP) to reduce compulsions and ease distress.
PTSD Treatment
Post-traumatic stress disorder may develop after a traumatic event and result in anxiety, flashbacks, and emotional numbness. We offer trauma-informed care using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, and other evidence-based interventions to support healing.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma can shape emotions and behavior long after the initial experience. Our team creates a safe, judgment-free space where patients can process difficult memories, rebuild trust, and develop healthy coping strategies.
Antisocial Personality Disorder Treatment
Our team helps individuals with antisocial personality disorder develop healthier behavioral patterns and relationships through structured therapy.
Panic Disorder Treatment
Panic attacks can come on suddenly and feel overwhelming. Through therapy and skill development, we help patients understand what fuels these episodes and how to reduce their frequency and intensity.
Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety disorders can impact your ability to focus, rest, and engage in everyday life. We use a combination of talk therapy, medication management, and relaxation techniques to help patients identify triggers, reduce symptoms, and regain a sense of calm and confidence.
Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment
Borderline personality disorder can lead to intense emotions, relationship instability, and impulsive actions. We use therapies such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help individuals build emotional control and healthier interpersonal patterns.
Dependent Personality Disorder Treatment
Dependent personality disorder involves difficulty making decisions or managing daily life without reassurance. We support individuals in building confidence, independence, and decision-making skills through compassionate and structured care.

Narcissistic personality disorder may involve challenges with empathy, self-image, and interpersonal relationships. Our team provides support to help individuals gain insight, build emotional awareness, and develop healthier ways of relating to others.

Grief can be complicated by trauma, guilt, or prolonged emotional pain. We offer therapeutic support to help individuals work through their loss, honor their loved ones, and begin rebuilding life with hope and meaning.
Dissociative Disorder Treatment
Dissociative disorders can cause disruptions in memory, identity, and awareness. Through trauma-informed therapy and stabilization techniques, we help patients feel grounded, whole, and more connected to their experiences.
Childhood Trauma Treatment
Trauma experienced during childhood can affect emotional development and relationships in adulthood. Our care team helps patients unpack these early wounds, build resilience, and establish healthier thought and behavior patterns.
