Jessica Locke, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, has joined the CMH Behavioral Health Transitional Clinic in Bolivar. Previously, Locke provided behavioral health care at Ash Grove Family Medical Center and Humansville Family Medical Center.

The CMH Behavioral Health Transitional Clinic offers short-term care for patients who are waiting for an appointment with a CMH behavioral health provider. At the clinic, Locke provides comprehensive services including counseling, medication management, and patient education to individuals of all ages until they can be seen by a CMH provider.

The clinic operates at two locations: Bolivar Family Care Center on North Butterfield Road where Jessica Locke is stationed, and Butterfield Park Medical Center on North Oakland Avenue where Tara Billingslea serves as another board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Both facilities are open from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., and no referral is needed to schedule an appointment.
