Duke Psychiatry at Civitan Building

Mental Health Services Offered at This Location Include:

• Duke Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic: A hospital-based outpatient clinic, the DPOC features a large multidisciplinary team of clinical social workers, resident-level psychiatrists supervised by Duke Health psychiatrists, and psychiatric nurse practitioners. The DPOC offers diagnostic assessments with development of a comprehensive plan for mental health care within the broader Duke Health system. Psychiatric medication management is available with the resident-level psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners. These clinicians may also provide short-term psychotherapy or partner with the clinical social workers to provide this service. Clinical social workers are available to provide non-medication assessments and short-term psychotherapy. If long-term (more than 10 session) psychotherapy is needed the assessing clinician will provide a referral to an appropriate provider. The DPOC is a generalized practice addressing a wide range of psychiatric and emotional difficulties. Prior to being scheduled, patients will be asked a few questions to ensure that DPOC is the appropriate fit for care.
• Cognitive Behavioral Research and Treatment Program: This full-service psychotherapy clinic delivers sophisticated treatments for adult individuals and couples. We use cognitive behavior therapies, mindfulness-based interventions, and dialectical behavior therapies to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, and personality disorders.
