These services include mental health treatment services, such as counseling, assessment, evaluation and psychotherapy, provided by psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists and psychiatric nurses. Mental health services may also be called rehabilitation or recovery services, and they help a person with mental illness to develop coping skills for daily living. Mental health services can be provided in a clinic or provider office, over the phone, or in the home or other community setting.  

These services may sometimes be provided to one person at a time (individual therapy or rehabilitation), two or more people at the same time (group therapy or group rehabilitation services), and to families (family therapy).
