About Us

A cornerstone of mental health care in Catawba County

For over five decades, Catawba County Mental Health has stood as a pillar of support for the Newton community and surrounding areas. Founded on the belief that mental health care is a fundamental right—not a privilege—we have grown from a small clinic into a comprehensive behavioral health center.

Our doors are open to adults, children, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use disorders, and more. We understand that seeking help requires courage, and we honor that courage by meeting every person with respect, confidentiality, and genuine compassion.

We accept Medicare, most major insurance plans, and offer sliding scale fees to ensure that cost is never a barrier to the care you deserve.

Accessibility

Care within reach of everyone

Evidence

Treatment grounded in research
