Primary Care Behavioral Health Support
Talk Therapy
Talk therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is a fundamental component of behavioral health care provided at Pristine Family Medicine. It involves confidential sessions with a licensed therapist or counselor who helps individuals explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
During talk therapy sessions at Pristine Family Medicine, our skilled therapists employ various evidence-based techniques to address a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship issues, and more. The goal is to assist patients in gaining insight into their feelings and experiences, developing coping strategies, and making positive changes in their lives.
- Our therapists are trained to use evidence-based techniques to help you manage symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression to promote emotional well-being.
- Medication would not be prescribed during these sessions.
What Is Behavioral Health?
Behavioral health is a broad term that encompasses the emotional, psychological, and social well-being of an individual. It involves the study and management of behaviors that impact a person’s overall mental health and well-being. Unlike traditional views that separate mental health from physical health, behavioral health considers the interconnectedness of mind and body, recognizing that psychological factors can significantly affect physical health and vice versa.
Behavioral health includes a wide range of services and treatments aimed at addressing mental health disorders, substance abuse, and other behavioral issues. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) fall under the umbrella of behavioral health. It also covers issues related to stress, relationship problems, grief, and other life challenges.
