Mental Health Practice – Echota Behavioral Health
Echota Behavioral Health is a United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians-owned behavioral health clinic providing mental health and substance use services to tribal and non-tribal community members across Northeastern Oklahoma. The organization operates five clinic locations in Tahlequah (two offices), Jay, the Little Kansas area, Vian, and Stilwell, along with a separate methadone maintenance clinic called KCTS located in Tulsa.
Clinical staff include psychiatrists, physicians, nurse practitioners, licensed therapists, case managers, and peer recovery support specialists. Services offered span individual therapy, case management, group classes, psychiatry appointments, and methadone maintenance programming. Individual therapy is provided by licensed therapists, with the practice noting that clients are “thoughtfully matched” to a clinician who develops a personalized treatment plan. Group classes cover topics such as anger management, trauma, substance use, parenting, depression, and anxiety, and are offered on a weekly schedule.
Case management services extend to advocacy, coordination of medical appointments, and referrals to community resources for clients who need support navigating care systems. Psychiatry is available via both in-person visits and telehealth, broadening access across the service region.
The KCTS methadone maintenance clinic in Tulsa operates on an early-morning schedule: Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 1:00 PM, and Saturday from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Main clinic offices are open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
