Support for your mental and emotional health.
Our Behavioral Health team works with your primary care provider to support your whole health, including stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, life changes, and ongoing wellness goals.
Care connected to your provider
Behavioral health is part of your overall care at Bellaire and East Jordan Family Health Centers.
- Integrated with primary care
- Support for ages 6+
- Brief, focused visits
- Group and substance use support options
Patients are seen by appointment only. Masks are required for patients and visitors with upper respiratory symptoms, even with a negative COVID test. If you need behavioral health support, talk with your Bellaire or East Jordan Family Health Center provider at your next appointment.
A team-based approach to whole-person care
Behavioral health concerns can affect your physical health, relationships, work, school, sleep, and daily life. Our integrated model helps connect your mental health support with the provider who knows your overall health history.
1. Talk with your provider
Start by talking with your Bellaire or East Jordan Family Health Center provider. They can help connect you with integrated behavioral health support.
2. Create a focused care plan
Your counselor and primary care provider can work together on a plan that considers your mental, emotional, and physical health needs.
3. Build skills and support
Visits may focus on coping skills, behavior change, substance use support, stress management, or connecting you with additional resources.
Behavioral health support that fits into your healthcare.
Our program is designed to make behavioral health easier to access and more connected with your regular care. This means shorter, more focused visits and coordination with your primary care team when appropriate.
What this may include
- Behavioral health visits coordinated with medical appointments
- Brief, focused check-ins to support specific goals
- Group therapy options for skills development or substance use support
- Referrals for ongoing therapy or psychiatry when additional support is needed

What about current therapy patients?
If you are currently in traditional therapy, your care team will help guide the transition into the integrated program. You will not be left to navigate the change alone.
The goal is to keep your care connected, focused, and supportive as behavioral health becomes more closely aligned with your primary care team.
Additional care options
Some patients may benefit from additional or ongoing therapy services outside of the Health Center. Helpful options may include local outpatient providers, Psychology Today’s therapist directory, and your insurance company’s provider list.
Ask your insurance carrier about covered behavioral health providers and referral requirements.
