Our Approach
We believe in a complete/whole person. This is achieved by integrating services with the medical & therapeutic modalities. Working collaboratively with health care professionals is essential for effective treatment. Far too few people see the importance of collaborating with the community for behavioral health treatment. Too many barriers are presented: for example a person with diabetes who is not in compliance with medical or Physician’s treatment. Perhaps that person is depressed; therefore, will never be in compliance. The goal at Behavioral Health Integrative Services is to treat a person’s mental health wellbeing first, in order to achieve a sound physical wellbeing.
There are many different models of therapy to choose from. We work using a range of approaches, as perhaps one model of counseling may not be helpful to everyone. We prefer to remain flexible to your requirements.
We aim to be sensitive to the cultural and ethnic origins of individuals, and to people's religious beliefs and sexual orientation.
