Mental Health in Hampton Virginia

Regardless of where you live, finding a mental health professional can be a challenge. Finding a therapist, counselor, or specialist in Hampton Virginia sounds easy enough, and it should as there are a plethora of mental health professionals not only in Hampton itself but also in the surrounding metropolitan area of Hampton Roads.

Living in a vibrant and richly historic independent city like Hampton is a great experience with plenty to do and see. Hampton is ranked as the 194th largest city in the United States, hosting an upbeat urban culture of retail shopping, entertainment, and tourism. Being a part of the greater Hampton Roads area, Hampton also has its share of stressful and demanding careers.

Mental Health Statistics for Hampton

Knowing everything is going to be fine and having a general sense of well-being are trademarks of mental health. Unfortunately, nearly 17% of the population suffers from some form of mental illness. Of that number, only 47% with any mental illness, and 71% of those with a serious mental illness receive treatment.

People don’t seek out mental health treatment for several reasons with the stigma of being labeled as “mentally ill” being one of the primary causes. Access to mental health follows at a close second. The Commonwealth of Virginia is aware of the latter and has been taking legislative steps towards helping those unable to pay for insurance the ability to seek help. Trusting and choosing a therapist or counselor rounds out the third major reason why people don’t get the help they need or why they may delay getting treatment.

What Makes Hampton Different with Mental Health?

A variety of unique factors make Hampton’s residents susceptible to beleaguering mental health issues. Factors range from poverty, seasonal traffic, and cost of living stresses.

  • A direct correlation between financial stress and mental health has been established in numerous studies.
  • Hampton Roads and the surrounding cities such as Hampton are known for being higher than the national average cost of living, with the cost of housing being the biggest factor.
  • Suicide is the third leading cause of death for ages 16-24 in Hampton.
  • Studies indicate that those living below the poverty line are less likely to seek treatment.

Divorce Rate in Hampton Virginia

Hampton Virginia has one of the lowest divorce rates in the country at a mere 10%. This low number could be the result of a host of factors including Virginia’s ranking of being one of the best places in the country to raise a family. Other factors may include Hampton’s large military community, which is predominantly unwed.

The rather low divorce rates also might come from a plethora of marriage counselors. With over 30 counselors in Hampton itself, to say nothing of how many are in the Hampton Roads area, there are plenty of mental health professionals nearby to help citizens with their marriage woes before seeking a legal way out.

Mental Health Resources in Hampton

Currently, there are over 60 licensed therapists and counselors in Hampton Virginia. That’s more than one professional per 2,000 people inside the city limits. Although Virginia itself has a minor shortage of therapists, the number of professionals available in Hampton is roughly the minimum national threshold.

Challenges of Finding a Suitable Therapist in Hampton

There are dozens of easy-to-find mental health professionals on the Internet. Relatively all of them seem to have a great track record, while some of them have a significant presence on review sites such as Yelp. It’s for this reason that it can be hard to know who to trust and turn to when you’re going through a rough spell.

Health insurance providers oftentimes offer referrals to therapists and counselors, especially if they are in the network. Unfortunately, this means you will be required to fill out the appropriate forms and other documentation. And that’s before you even have an opportunity to meet with a therapist just to see if you’ll get along. If your need is urgent, this may be too much of an encumbrance as well.
