Behavioral Health

Behavioral Health Care Services

We take an integrated approach to healthcare. The providers at Bluestem Health in Lincoln are passionate about helping people who suffer from behavioral health conditions and complications. They understand how mental health plays an important role in maintaining a healthy mind, body, and spirit. Our providers work together to provide integrated care for all patients.

Mental Health Providers Who Understand

Our team includes a Behavioral Health Director and therapists who see patients for counseling and support and who help with patient care plans and assessment of needs throughout our clinics.

Working in this model with primary care providers, our behavioral health team assists with the assessment and treatment of patients in need of mental health services. At times, this may entail collaboration and discussion with primary care providers and behavioral health therapists only to establish or update patient care plans. At other times, they may meet with a patient face-to-face in a clinic setting to gather more information and/or discuss treatment options with the patient and their family.

Integrated Healthcare

Our team continually collaborates with the patient’s primary care provider who oversees the patient’s overall healthcare and treatment plan. They provide warm hand-off as well as traditional 50-minute therapy sessions integrated into the primary care setting to help the medical provider with mental health, addiction, or substance abuse problems.

Our whole-person healthcare includes a trauma-informed approach where our behavioral health therapists treat psychiatric concerns with primary care providers in a team-based approach. If patients are happy with their current therapist, we encourage them to continue this care. If they have not established care with a behavioral health therapist, we will consult and provide therapy as prescribed by their primary care provider.

We often see patients who are dealing with:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Stress management
  • Relationship issues
  • Grief or loss
  • Trauma
  • PTSD
  • Anger issues
  • Addiction or substance use
  • Life transitions

Behavioral Health Support Across All Clinics

Our therapists are scheduled across all clinic locations, allowing providers to schedule patients and see a therapist at their assigned clinic when possible. If there is an urgent need to be seen the day of, we offer phone or Telehealth therapy. We also may schedule patients depending on where interpreters are available. Our therapists are here and available for consults and therapy as directed by patients’ primary care providers.

You must be seen by a Bluestem Health provider before being referred to a therapist.
