Supportive Behavioral Health Services

Sometimes the best way to find healing is through a combination of talk therapy, medication and talking with others who have been through the same circumstances. If that’s the case for you or a loved one, we work closely with you and other specialized providers to ensure you are well-supported along your journey.

Other behavioral health services we offer include referrals to licensed chemical-dependency counselors or psychologists for specialized testing. We also offer group-based services throughout the year based on client needs. Please ask for more information on the group services available.
