Services are for children, adolescents, and adults.

Our behavioral health team is located within our primary care settings and is available for our medical patients through virtual and in person visits. We offer a variety of services focusing on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. The team includes Integrated Behavioral Health Care Managers whose role focuses on our prevention services, Behavioral Health Providers, Psychiatric Providers whose role focuses on diagnosis, treatment and recovery services, and Behavioral Health Consultant, dedicated to our Primary Care Health Home program.

School Based Services:

We have Behavioral Health providers at select schools in our area. To qualify for school-based services, the school needs to refer. If you are interested or curious if your child's school offers this service, please contact the school counselor. Students receiving School based services do not need to be a medical patient of KTCH, however collaboration with primary care is best practice.
