Services are available for children, teens, adults, and seniors. I’m particularly impressed by the care team’s qualifications. Providers include licensed therapists, nurse practitioners and a psychiatrist all working together to support clients at all ages and stages of life.

The clinical team helps clients manage depression, PTSD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma and relationship issues among other challenges.

Inclusive, Flexible Treatment for a Diverse Region

The Behavioral Health Center focuses on outpatient recovery, offering individual, group, and family therapy along with psychiatric evaluation and medication management. I appreciate their focus on flexibility. Clients can attend sessions in the office, at home or even in their schools or workplaces.

The center has been licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health since 1985 which speaks to their community roots and long-standing credibility.
