Two competitors are suing to stop a new psychiatric hospital in Brevard County from being built.
No one directly involved with the case responded to interview requests.
Kathy Pearce, a psychologist at Brevard Psychology Learning Center, said she sends patients outside of Brevard County for services.
“It’s obvious that the child needs something bigger than just coming to see a therapist once a week and a pill or something,” Pearce said. “But it’s difficult to sell that to a parent without having a facility to send them to.”
Circles of Care has also joined the lawsuit opposing the hospital.
A hearing on the case will be held in May or June.
