Behavioral Health Services
Behavioral health, which includes emotional and mental health, is essential for a healthier, happier, and more complete life. Unfortunately, behavioral health can be overlooked, and many people do not receive the care they need.
At Valor Health, our family medicine providers use a whole-person approach to connect you to the care you need—including behavioral health services. Providers work directly with the Valor Health behavioral health specialists; together, they customize a plan so you can get the right care at the right time.

Meet our Behavioral Health Specialists
LCSWs hold a master’s degree in social work focusing on mental health and social services. While they cannot prescribe medications, LCSWs are trained extensively in therapeutic counseling, case management, and connecting patients with community resources. They provide individual, family, and group therapy, often focusing on psychosocial factors, coping strategies, and the social determinants of mental health.
Our team of specialists works closely with you and your primary care provider. Speak to your primary care provider or call our clinic for more information or to schedule an appointment. Provider referral may be required.

Mental Health Issues: More Common than You Think
Whatever your situation, please know you are not alone. Millions of people struggle with depression, anxiety, and mental health issues. Our expert team at Valor Health is dedicated to helping you and those you love. There is no judgment. There is no shame. There is only compassionate care from individuals dedicated to providing the care, coping strategies, and help you deserve.
Of course, everyone has bad days. But when bad days turn into bad weeks—or months—and impact your job, relationships, or quality of life, you need to get the help you need. Talk to your family medicine provider and explain what you are feeling and experiencing.
A Healthier, Happier Family
Studies show a parent’s declining mental health hurts their children. Getting the care you need, including learning coping strategies, tools to handle stress, help to understand your condition, or getting medication from your provider, can help your entire family live more balanced, healthier lives.
The healthy development of children and adolescents includes their mental health, too. If you think your child is struggling with anxiety or depression, or you have noticed other concerning signs, talk to their provider, who can guide your child to the right care.
Your Mental Health Impacts EVERYTHING
When mental health is good, every part of life improves. Job performance, relationships, parenting, and managing the many complexities of everyday life are all easier with the proper support, tools, and care.
Behavioral health issues can be scary, but the team at Valor Health understands and is here to help. Talk to your family medicine provider and get the important care you need and deserve.
