Licensed Care for Calloway County
Whether you’ve been struggling for years or something shifted recently, our Murray therapists meet you where you are – not where they think you should be.
Lumera Healthcare provides therapy services in Murray, KY for children, teens, adults, and families across Calloway County and surrounding areas. We accept Medicaid, Medicare, and most major insurance – and we’ll call you back the next business day with appointment options.
If you’ve searched for a therapist in Western Kentucky recently, you know what comes back: individual providers with limited availability, telehealth-only practices based in other cities, and directories that list people who haven’t taken new patients in months. Finding real, in-person mental health care in Calloway County – care that takes your insurance, has actual appointment availability, and goes beyond a single clinician working alone – has been harder than it should be.
Lumera Healthcare’s Murray location was built to fill that gap. Our licensed therapists, psychiatrists, and case managers work as a coordinated team. When your situation calls for more than one type of support, you don’t get referred somewhere else. You get connected to the right clinician within the same practice, working from the same care plan.
That’s a different experience than most people in Murray have had access to before.

I am 102 days sober thanks to the accountability of groups and meetings and also the resources l’ve gotten from their classes. I owe them for a second chance at life and I mean that dearly!

Lumera Healthcare has been a life saver for me. I began seeing Lumera Healthcare about a year and a half ago for management of major depression and anxiety. They have gone out of their way to ensure I had the medication & therapy I needed.

We accept all major insurance, including: Medicaid, Medicare, commercial, and self-pay.
Children often communicate through behavior long before they can put words to what they're feeling. When a child is struggling at school, withdrawing from friends, having outbursts at home, or showing signs of anxiety, early support makes a real difference.
Our Murray therapists use child-centered approaches including play therapy that work with how children actually process their experiences. We coordinate with Calloway County schools when clinically appropriate - which matters for families working through behavioral referrals, IEP concerns, or school avoidance.
Teenagers in Murray are dealing with academic pressure, social challenges, family stress, and for some, substance use or mental health conditions that go unaddressed for too long.
Our Murray clinicians work with adolescents through individual sessions, group therapy, and our Intensive Outpatient Program for teens whose needs require a more structured level of care. We don't approach teenagers like smaller adults. We meet them where they are.
Individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and group therapy are all available at our Murray location. For adults whose depression, anxiety, or other conditions haven't responded to therapy or standard medications alone, our psychiatry team and advanced treatment options offer additional paths forward - including esketamine treatment for treatment-resistant depression. More on that below.
Depression, grief, anxiety, cognitive changes, and major life transitions affect older adults at high rates - and are often undertreated in rural communities. Our Murray clinicians provide geriatric psychiatric and therapy services with the same person-centered approach every patient receives. If an older family member has been struggling and hasn't had a good option nearby, we're here.
Our licensed clinicians at the Murray location work with patients of all ages across a wide range of mental health conditions. If you don’t see what you’re dealing with on this list, call us – chances are we can still help.
We’ve kept the process short on purpose. The hardest part is already done – you’re here.
A few basic questions about your situation. Takes minutes.
With real appointment time options at our Murray location that fit your schedule.
Covers permission to treat and insurance information. We handle the billing so you don't have to.
About 30 minutes with a Lumera clinician to understand your situation and match you with the right therapist or provider. Low pressure. No expectations beyond showing up.
Most people in Murray have experienced fragmented care at some point – a therapist who can’t prescribe, a prescriber who doesn’t communicate with the therapist, and you stuck in the middle trying to keep everyone on the same page.
At Lumera, your therapy and psychiatric care are coordinated from the start. One care plan. One team. Nothing falls through the cracks between providers who don’t talk to each other.
CARF accreditation means a third-party organization has reviewed our clinical practices, our processes, and our outcomes against national standards and confirmed they meet them. It’s not a self-reported designation – it’s earned through an independent review. Many behavioral health providers in Western Kentucky aren’t accredited. We are, and we maintain it because the standard matters to how we operate.

We accept Medicaid, Medicare, most major commercial insurance, and EAP plans at our Murray location. Sliding scale fees are available for patients who qualify based on family size and income.

When you come to Lumera in Murray, you’re not being seen by one clinician who will refer you somewhere else the moment your needs get more complex. Therapy, psychiatry, medication management, advanced treatments, and case management are all available here.
If your situation changes or your care needs grow, the next step is usually a conversation with someone already on your team – not a search for a new provider.

Yes. Our Murray location serves children and teens in addition to adults. Our therapists use child-centered approaches, including play therapy, that meet younger patients at their developmental level. For adolescents dealing with more significant mental health or substance use challenges, our teen Intensive Outpatient Program provides a structured level of support without requiring inpatient hospitalization. We coordinate with Calloway County schools when clinically appropriate.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It’s an evidence-based therapy for trauma and PTSD that uses bilateral stimulation – often guided eye movements – to help the brain reprocess distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. Many patients who haven’t found relief through traditional talk therapy respond well to EMDR. It is available at our Murray location.
Call (270) 310-9200 to ask about scheduling with an EMDR-trained clinician.
Esketamine is an FDA-approved nasal spray treatment for adults with treatment-resistant depression – meaning depression that hasn’t responded adequately to at least two antidepressant medications. It is offered under the brand name SPRAVATO™ and must be administered in a certified clinical setting with monitoring. Lumera Healthcare offers SPRAVATO™ at our Murray location.
We are not affiliated with SPRAVATO™ or its manufacturer, nor do we endorse the company or product.

Yes. Lumera Healthcare provides therapeutic support for addiction and substance use disorders at our Murray location, including Medication Assisted Treatment and our Substance Use Disorder Intensive Outpatient Program.
