Behavioral Health and the Primary Care Visit
Your behavioral health team includes your primary care provider, care coordinators, behavioral health counselors, and psychiatric nurse practitioners. They work together using shared decision making and electronic health records. This team approach allows us to provide the best care for you and your family.
When you meet with your primary care provider, issues may be identified where the Behavioral Health Care Team can provide support. Your Primary Care Provider may consult with the Behavioral Health Care team, or invite you to meet with them as part of your visit. They may also arrange for a future counseling visit. This flexible approach to care is based on your needs and shared decision making.
Counseling
You can schedule an appointment directly with the Behavioral Health Care Team or through your Primary Care Provider. The Behavioral Health Care Team is here to help with:
- Depression
- Life issues
- Anxiety
- Substance abuse
- Coping with chronic disease
For more complex Behavioral Health issues, our team will assist you with referrals to appropriate care facilities. Our goal is to improve your access to Behavioral Health Services in a safe and comfortable environment. You’ll receive the care you need, through integration with your primary care medical home.
