Find details for any upcoming appointments you’ve booked with a Kaiser Permanente mental health or addiction medicine clinician.
When you call, we’ll assess your needs and offer you a phone, video, or in-person appointment with a mental health and addiction medicine specialist, if appropriate, for nonurgent mental health or addiction medicine concerns. You don't need a referral to access these services from a Kaiser Permanente provider.
