BasePoint Expands Mental Health Services in Frisco, TX

BasePoint, known for providing Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) tailored for adolescents and young adults, has recently opened a new clinic in Frisco, Texas. This expansion marks BasePoint's fourth physical location and aligns with its mission to deliver exceptional mental health treatment while also offering virtual options to ensure that care is accessible throughout the state.

A Personal Mission

The founders of BasePoint, Roy and Blake Serpa, have personal ties to the area, with Blake specifically sharing that Frisco is his hometown. He reflects on his sister's challenges with mental health that began at a tender age, leading to a serious diagnosis of bipolar disorder and ultimately, her tragic loss. This personal history drives them to create a haven for families seeking trustworthy mental health care. Blake articulated their guiding principle: "What would you want for your own family?" This approach is central to BasePoint’s dedication to delivering quality care.

A Vision for Texas

The opening of the Frisco facility is just the beginning of what BasePoint hopes will be a growing network to improve mental health care access in Texas. With Texas currently ranking low in mental health service accessibility, the Serpas have set a bold objective to elevate the state from the bottom tier to the top five by 2030 through various strategic initiatives.

Addressing Mental Health Gaps

Texas is facing a pressing mental health crisis, with access to care being a significant barrier to treatment. BasePoint’s decision to open its clinic in Frisco, one of the state's most rapidly developing regions, is a concerted effort to address this gap by providing high-quality PHP and IOP services informed by evidence-based practices.

The organization's commitment to thoughtful growth is evident; each new clinic is backed by robust corporate infrastructure designed to maintain high standards of clinical excellence and efficiency. Plans are already in place to launch additional facilities in major Texas metropolitan areas by 2026-2027, demonstrating BasePoint's commitment to expanding accessible mental health treatment options.

Community Impact

The importance of this new clinic goes beyond just expanding services; it provides peace of mind to families in Frisco. As Shara McClure, a BasePoint board member, highlights, the local business community can rest easy knowing there is now a reliable resource for mental health care when their families need it most. This sentiment is crucial in a time when mental health issues are becoming increasingly prevalent, particularly among younger populations.

New Opportunities for Care

BasePoint Frisco is now welcoming new clients into its PHP and IOP programs, aiming to provide timely and effective care for those in need. For families seeking support, the clinic is equipped to conduct complimentary same-day assessments, making it easier than ever to access the necessary resources.
