Mountain Family Health Center’s behavioral health (BH) providers are trained therapists and addiction counselors who work closely with your medical and dental care teams. They help with a range of issues related to mental health, substance use, and physical health that can affect your overall well-being. You can meet with them during your medical or dental visits, and they might suggest short follow-up sessions if needed. They also work with onsite patient advocates to connect you with community resources that can support your basic needs.
Getting Ready For Your Visit
What is Integrated Behavioral Healthcare?
Integrated Behavioral Healthcare brings together behavioral health providers as part of your medical or dental care team. These professionals are trained to help when habits, behaviors, stress, worry, or emotional concerns about physical or life challenges affect your daily life and overall health.
What Health Concerns Do Behavioral Health Providers Address?
Our BH providers assist patients with managing stress and emotional or behavioral concerns, such as anger, anxiety, depression, and stress. They can also support you with coping strategies for chronic medical conditions and behavioral changes like quitting tobacco, weight loss, or reducing alcohol use. Providers will work with you to address your concerns, offer brief follow-ups, or connect you with community resources for additional support.
Who Is Eligible?
This service is available to all Mountain Family patients as part of your comprehensive healthcare.
What Should I Expect at an Appointment?
During your medical or dental appointment, a BH provider will ask about your symptoms and behaviors, exploring how they may be related to your physical health. You can expect a collaborative approach with your medical provider focused on addressing your concerns and improving your well-being.
How Is This Different from Traditional Mental Health Services?
Our BH services are short-term, solution-focused, and integrated into your overall healthcare. While our providers offer brief, targeted support, they may refer you to other professionals for more traditional, ongoing mental health services if you and your medical team feel it’s the best approach for your needs.
