How Behavioral Health Clinicians Support Your Whole Health Journey

At Orchid Health, we believe that supporting both the mind and body is essential to our well-being. Our Behavioral Health Counselors (BHCs) work within our primary care clinics in Sandy, Hoodland, Oakridge, and more, to provide comprehensive support that includes mental and emotional health. If you are an established patient with us, you are eligible for these services! Our integrated approach ensures that patients receive the full scope of care they deserve, especially when it comes to the challenges unique to rural areas.

Why Mental Health Matters for Physical Well-being

Mental health directly impacts physical health in many ways. Persistent stress, anxiety, or depression can aggravate chronic conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. By addressing mental health concerns alongside physical symptoms, our BHCs help patients achieve a more balanced and resilient foundation for overall health.

Collaborative Care Across Orchid Health Clinics

Our BHCs collaborate with primary care providers in all Orchid Health clinics, including those in Sandy, Oakridge, Estacada, Veneta, Elmira, McKenzie River, and Welches, ensuring patients have a seamless experience. If a patient raises mental health concerns during a visit, our BHCs step in to offer personalized support and strategies. This close collaboration allows us to provide comprehensive support across our clinics, creating a welcoming environment where patients feel heard and cared for.

How Behavioral Health Counselors Support Our Communities

Behavioral Health Counselors can help with a wide range of needs, including:

  • Reducing stress and anxiety
  • Supporting patients in managing chronic health conditions
  • Promoting healthier lifestyle choices
  • Helping patients build emotional resilience

Whether facing a new diagnosis, navigating life’s stressors, or seeking to strengthen mental health, patients find valuable support through our BHCs, who are always there to guide them.
