Every Kinwell patient has a behavioral health clinician on their care team. Many physical ailments—diabetes, hypertension, chronic pain—are related to behavioral conditions like depression and anxiety. Your provider may recommend a consultation with your behavioral health clinician to address issues underlying chronic conditions and obstacles to treatment.
Behavioral health clinicians provide tested and proven approaches to navigating challenging situations. Changes in employment, the loss of a loved one, and dealing with complex relationships can all benefit from the perspective and advice of trained clinicians. Behavioral health also treats sleep disorders, substance misuse, and helps patients adopt healthy lifestyle habits.
You can speak with a trained counsellor in your primary care clinic or conveniently over your smart device. Established patients may schedule a behavioral health consult by calling 833-411-5469. Among the concerns treated are:
Kinwell is offering group appointments to help established patients manage challenging emotions and situations. Our Coping Skills Program helps patients develop emotional resilience. Our Winter Blues Program offers effective techniques to deal with seasonal depression. Call (206) 360-9298 to register for an upcoming group program.
