What to Expect
Behavioral Health Consultants (BHCs) are master's level counselors and social workers who specialize in helping people develop skills and make changes to improve their overall health and manage their health conditions.
BHCs are a part of your patient-centered care team at NHC and work closely with your other providers to give you comprehensive care. They provide brief, non-medication-targeted interventions for a wide range of emotional and behavioral conditions.
Behavioral health visits usually last 20-30 minutes. Sometimes patients may get what they need in one visit, and other times patients may see the Behavioral Health Consultant for several follow-up visits to address patient emotional and behavioral health needs. You may receive information about connecting to services in the community such as long term mental health services. BHCs are not psychiatrists and cannot prescribe medication. Please consult with your primary care provider or pharmacist about accessing behavioral health services at NHC.
