Mental/Emotional Healthcare
PureView practices an integrated healthcare model. This means counselors and physicians work alongside one another to provide mental health screenings and brief therapies to patients right in the exam room, during the same visit.
What is Integrated Care?
“Integrated healthcare” is another way to say that we care for the whole person. PureView’s holistic approach to healthcare involves treating patients in a way that ensures that all needs—physical, emotional, behavioral and social—are being cared for.
Everyone needs help from time to time. It’s amazing how helpful it can be to have an unbiased third party listen to your concerns, help with a little problem solving or suggest new ways to skillfully manage difficult situations.
Behavioral Health Consultation
Through our partnerships with local behavioral health services, PureView offers immediate support to PureView providers and their patients in areas such as behavioral health concerns, coping with chronic illness and life problems, and behavioral change assistance in a variety of areas such as weight loss, medication compliance and lifestyle change.
The Behavioral Healthcare Team will provide immediate and personal follow-up to the PureView primary care providers, including findings and recommendations.
What type of services does our integrated behavioral healthcare team offer?
- Assessment of mental health and substance use concerns to help guide a physician’s treatment
- Close collaboration with our primary care providers at and between primary care visits
- Help with crisis management
- Brief therapy for focused concerns—this usually is completed within 2-3 months or intermittently over several months
- Help in making behavior changes to make chronic illnesses easier to manage, such as weight loss, diet changes and medication compliance
- Referral to other community resources and other therapists when needed (i.e. specialty services when someone will benefit from more than brief therapy)
Behavioral Health Providers are available to existing PureView patients through our main phone line 406.457.0000 or during a primary care visit. View our contact page for locations and hours.
