Family Care Center Expands Access to Mental Health Care
Family Care Center is opening a new clinic focused on essential mental health care. The goal is simple and urgent: make high-quality outpatient services easier to get for individuals, couples, families, and veterans in the community. With demand for affordable treatment rising, this expansion is designed to close the gap so more people can get help when they need it.
Addressing Rising Mental Health Concerns
Across the country—and especially in Tennessee—more adults are reporting ongoing mental distress. Many still face a hard truth: they want support but can’t afford it or can’t find it nearby. That combination points to a clear need for care that’s both accessible and effective.
The CEO of Family Care Center, Wayne Cavanaugh, emphasized the importance of expanding access to mental health care. "This new clinic is a vital step towards addressing the mental health crisis in the state and beyond. We aim to ensure that everyone receives the necessary care to lead healthier lives, regardless of their financial circumstances," he stated.
Comprehensive Treatment Options
The Knoxville clinic brings multiple services under one roof, so patients don’t have to navigate care on their own. Therapists, psychiatrists, and other licensed professionals work together in one convenient location, offering care plans that reflect each person’s needs, history, and goals. The result is support that’s coordinated, personal, and easier to sustain.
Among the treatments available is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), an option for people living with treatment-resistant depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other conditions. TMS is evidence-based and has helped many patients who haven’t found relief with traditional approaches, marking a meaningful advance in mental health care.
Community Commitment
Family Care Center centers its work on compassionate, patient-first care. Teams collaborate closely—sharing insights, aligning on goals, and adjusting care as patients’ needs change. Regional Director David Wood noted, "By bringing our services closer to home, we reduce barriers and provide individuals and families with the mental health support they deserve. We focus on helping our patients heal and achieve improved well-being."
Patients meet with a range of mental health professionals who coordinate care and keep communication open. That collaborative model creates space for honest conversation, clearer next steps, and steady progress toward recovery and well-being.
Growing Network of Mental Health Services
Family Care Center is one of the fastest-growing mental health providers in the country, with more than 30 locations across Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Tennessee, and Texas. A sustained focus on research, patient care, and ongoing professional development helps the organization strengthen quality across its clinics.
By using evidence-based practices and refining care based on outcomes, the team builds treatment plans that work for patients of all ages. Family Care Center’s growth reflects a consistent aim: improve access while raising the standard of care for the communities it serves.
