Who We Are

The Providence Center is one of the largest community mental health center in Rhode Island providing comprehensive services to adults, adolescents and children experiencing mental health, substance abuse, emotional and behavioral difficulties. Serving more than 10,000 people annually, we specialize in providing treatment services that respond to the entire spectrum of mental health needs.

At The Providence Center, you will find a wide range of specialized behavior health care professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric social workers, chemical dependency treatment professionals, psychiatric nurses, vocational/rehabilitation counselors, special education teachers, case managers, residential counselors and teaching assistants.

There are no "stand-alone" services at The Providence Center.  Within our clinical programs, professionals work as teams to provide clients with the comprehensive care necessary to meet their individual needs.  For example, you will find mental health clinicians and chemical dependency treatment specialists working side by side to develop a client's treatment plan, just as you will find special education teachers conferring with child therapists about a student's classroom progress. By housing a broad array of services within one organization, our clinicians and clients have unique and frequent opportunities to draw upon diverse clinical expertise.
