Stress, family challenges, mental health issues, substance misuse and economic insecurities can play a big role in your overall health and well-being. Integrated behavioral health services are offered at all our primary care locations. And our behavioral health providers work in close partnership with you and your health care team, led by your primary care provider, to address the physical, behavioral and emotional aspects of your overall health.

How can interventions help?
Short-term support (1-4 meetings) is an important step to addressing behavioral health concerns. These can take place at the time of a primary care visit or during separately scheduled visits. Our behavioral health consultants typically do not provide ongoing psychotherapy services; rather, they connect patients with additional resources and support within their communities or facilitate referrals for more in-depth, specialized services when needed.
