Behavioral Health
Addressing All Levels of the Person:
Body. Mind. Spirit.
Fostering the healing, growth and wellness of the whole individual is our goal. Our counselors are highly qualified in many aspects of the emotional and behavioral concerns facing members of our community. We specialize in culturally competent care provided by a diverse team of professionals, representative of the community we serve.
Assessment and Plan of Care
Using a structured interview, your clinician will work with you to develop a clear understanding of your unique needs and develop a Plan of Care to meet those needs. From the start, you are welcomed into the process and are given a road map for healing and recovery. Your Plan of Care will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis. This Plan of Care will include one or more of the services and modalities listed below:
Individual Counseling
Working one on one with a counselor, in a supportive and validating environment, you will be given the opportunity to gain insight and develop coping skills. Management of difficult emotions, development of proactive thought patterns and the practice of healthy behaviors bring about dynamic growth.
Couples/Relationship Counseling
When couples feel they can't solve their problems, they can feel stuck in a pattern of behaviors and emotions. Effective communication and problem solving skills are taught and practiced with couples to assist them in enhancing the value that their relationships add in their lives. LGBTQ couples are given the opportunity to explore their relationships in a safe environment with professionals who understand and live in the complexities of our community. Couples will learn how to identify the individual and couple patterns that contribute to their discomfort, and shift those patterns to add flexibility, trust, and positive emotional attachment to your relationship.
Family Counseling
When family problems become overwhelming you can feel stuck in a pattern of behaviors and emotions that make problem solving difficult. Help and support, in an environment that understands non-traditional family systems, are available to identify the patterns that are contributing to your problems and learn skills and techniques to add flexibility, trust, and positive emotional attachment to your relationships.
Psychiatric Assessment and Medication Management
APNH has licensed physicians and APRNs that provide psychiatric assessment and when beneficial can prescribe medications that can be a part of the Plan of Care to decrease symptoms and increase the effectiveness of your work in our Behavioral Health Program.
