At Pain Treatment Centers of Georgia we take the mental health of our patients very seriously and understand that to treat chronic pain effectively, we must address its physical, emotional, and psychological aspects. To address the mental health needs of our patients, everyone undergoes a thorough psychological assessment during a new patient visit. Depending on the outcome of the evaluation, an appropriate referral to the mental health counselor might be suggested. Mental health counselors are experts in helping patients cope with the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that accompany chronic pain.
