Integrated into the Primary Care Clinic are behavioral health services. Our behavioral health specialists consist of a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. In August of 2024 we contracted with Alina health to provide tele-psychiatry to enhance the services we can provide to the community. With the addition of tele-psychiatry, we can explore and add more behavioral health services in the future.
Health not only involves your physical body functioning well, but also your mindset, emotions
and overall life satisfaction. This is often referred to as Holistic Health. At Clifton-Fine Hospital,
we are concerned about our patients’ complete health, so in addition to traditional medical
care, we offer behavioral health services as well. If you think you could benefit from meeting with
one of our counselor or therapists or are not sure and have some questions, please reach out to
us to schedule your appointment or to find out more information.
Beginning therapy means different things to different people, but it is often an action of courage, self- care,
and hope. If this is your first experience with therapy, you might feel a bit nervous or apprehensive.
This is normal. If you have prior experience with counseling, this may represent a chance to further grow
your self- awareness. Either way – it is okay, and we welcome you into this process. Therapeutic growth is a
journey and counseling allows you the freedom and privacy to discuss issues that are often painful or difficult to
discuss. It is within this space that you can begin to feel more at home within yourself and within your relationships.
