Behavioral Health

A Collaborative Care Approach

Behavioral Health assists with habits, behaviors, stress, or emotional concerns negatively influencing your daily life and overall health. A Behavioral Health Professional works directly with you and your Primary Care Physician to develop a plan that best suits your needs to improve any physical, behavioral, or emotional concerns you may have.

These services are available to anyone who is a patient of a Oneida Health primary care office where a Behavioral Health Professional is
assigned.
