Welcome to Magnolia Mental Health Clinic

Supporting Your Mental Health Journey with a New Name and New Location

We’re excited to share some important updates! Starting December 2024, the Marianne Geiger, M.D. Clinic of Psychiatric Care will be called the Magnolia Mental Health Clinic. We chose the name Magnolia because the magnolia flower symbolizes good health, stability, self-respect and hope—values we hold close in our mission to support your mental well-being.

What’s New:

  • New Name: We’re now Magnolia Mental Health Clinic, reflecting our commitment to growth, healing and a holistic approach to mental health.
  • New Location: Soon, you will be able to find us at 6377 Sebring Way, Loves Park, IL 61111—just 2.8 miles from our current location.
  • New Look: Our branding has been refreshed to reflect the values and dedication we bring to every interaction.
  • New Website: Before the end of the year, you will be able to find our new website at www.magnoliaMHC.com.

What’s Staying the Same:

  • Our Care Team: You’ll still see the same compassionate team, ready to support you at every step.
  • Contact Information: All phone numbers and appointment channels remain unchanged. We’re updating our email domain, but current emails will be forwarded so no messages will be missed.
  • Our Mission: Continuing to provide the warm, professional psychiatric care you trust.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. We’re here to make this transition as seamless as possible for you.

Thank you for being part of our community.
