Important Information Regarding Our Providers
Behavioral Health Services strives to provide counseling services via well-qualified therapists. Currently, four therapists and, at times, interns are available to provide you with therapy. Your insurance coverage, however, plays a role in which therapist you will work with as our providers are on different insurance panels (i.e., Highmark, Western, VBH, BHBS).
Because we strive to provide our clients with the best possible care and believe that it is important for each individual to feel comfortable with his/her therapist, if you feel as though your current therapist is not a good match or you feel uncomfortable, we are happy to provide you with the opportunity to meet with a different provider. We want you to know that this is always an option, at any point. In order for therapy to be effective, it is important for you to feel as though you can trust and have a connection with your counselor. Please take the time to let us know if you would like to have the opportunity to meet with someone else.
