What is the process?
What is best for you as a patient will be emphasized in brief, focused therapy. In your work with Tammy, you will concentrate on the behavioral responses to emotional distress and physical symptoms, a reciprocal relationship that complicates recovery in different stages of medical interventions. Tammy facilitates services intermittently when patients require it. Her interventions are designed to be appropriate for most health care. As a behavioral health care provider, Tammy will participate in your well-being. Your work with her will complement efforts through your medical treatments.
How long will it take?
As a patient, you are entitled to assistance in the shortest time possible with the least intrusive interventions. The selection of interventions will be influenced by the need for time-efficient, cost-effective treatments. The goal is to deliver the least intrusive interventions in the shortest time possible.
What might be other benefits?
Through a co-treatment of behavioral healthcare, we will address the goals related to you being more healthy in your behavior choices as well as reducing the frequency at which you are in the hospital. Goals will include the interlacing of behavioral healthcare with standard medical care to lessen the likelihood of the professionals who work with you missing the full range of symptoms and delivering services at the expense of successful outcomes.
