Mental Health Services Coming To Newtown Square CVS

NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA — CVS is launching new mental health counseling and care services at Philadelphia area-stores as many in the area report they or someone in their household has been seriously depressed or anxious since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

The services will be available at 11 Philadelphia-area and southern New Jersey MinuteClinics inside CVS HealthHUB store locations.

The Newtown Square location, at 3930 West Chester Pike in Newtown Square, will be offering the services.

CVS Health has added Licensed Clinical Social Workers to its MinuteClinic staff at this and other locations, offering a new option for mental health counseling services in the local community.

Through these services, individuals can get mental health assessments, referrals, counseling and personalized care plans in-person or via telehealth, with appointments available during days, evenings, and weekends.

The launch of MinuteClinic mental health counseling services comes at a time when community members need help more than ever. According to a local study from Drexel University, many residents report experiencing heightened anxiety and/or depression due to employment issues over the past year. Other stressors are significant, including grief, with Hispanic and Black residents being most likely to have lost someone they know during the pandemic.
