Norman Regional’s Outpatient Counseling Center will close on Thursday, August 3. We are no longer accepting new patients.

Thank you to our Outpatient Counseling Center healers for their compassionate care of patients. All current therapists will be moving their practices and may share their new office location with patients, if patients choose to continue sessions with that therapist.

The counseling center will also offer alternative resources for patients’ mental health needs.

If you have questions, please call 405-912.3995.
