Integrated Behavioral Health

What is integrated behavioral health?

Integrated behavioral health is a patient care model whereby psychologists and therapists who treat mental health concerns are part of the care team within a primary care physician’s practice. In some instances, integrated behavioral health services may also be available within obstetric and gynecological care practices, and pain management practices. This team-based approach ensures care for behavioral health concerns is easily accessible.

Integrated behavioral health services, delivered human to human

We believe in a holistic approach to health and wellness. With in-house psychologists and therapists embedded in nearly 20 of our primary care practices across Main Line Health, compassionate care for your behavioral health concerns is more accessible than ever.

A direct path to the behavioral health support you need

The likelihood of seeking help for behavioral health concerns—defined as mental health issues, psychiatric conditions and substance use disorders—increases significantly when the right support is readily available.

Many of our primary care practices, as well as one obstetrics and gynecological care practice, and two pain management practices, offer integrated behavioral health services. Through this team-based approach to health care, in addition to visiting with your physician, patients of these practices have direct access to on-site clinicians who specialize in treating:

  • Mild to moderate depression
  • Anxiety
  • Grief
  • Difficulty coping with chronic health conditions
  • Adjusting to stressors, including caregiver stress
  • Additional concerns

Our in-house clinicians* can also assess acute issues and provide guidance when more intensive treatment is needed.

* Please note that to access an in-house clinician, you must be a patient of the physician's practice.

Easy access to behavioral health care from your doctor's office

With one in five adults and one in six youth experiencing behavioral health concerns in any given year, easy access to the care you need is more important than ever.

Our in-house behavioral health clinicians include psychologists, therapists, doctoral psychology residents and post-doctoral psychology fellows. Team members are specific to each individual practice.

Patients of practices offering integrated behavioral health services are eligible for eight to ten visits with a behavioral health clinician—30 minutes per session—each year.

A broad spectrum of behavioral health

Integrated behavioral health services are considered the lowest intensity treatment option on the behavioral health spectrum, and may sometimes serve as a bridge to more intensive treatment. For individuals in need of additional support, Main Line Health provides a complete continuum of care to address mental health issues, psychiatric conditions and substance use disorders—mild, moderate and severe.

From specialized services for women at two wellness centers, to our inpatient and outpatient treatment centers for substance use disorders and mental health concerns, to our inpatient psychiatric unit, expert care for you and your loved ones is close to home.
