Behavioral health is a term that refers to the relationship between a person's behavior and their overall mental and emotional well-being. Behavioral health includes a wide range of conditions, including mental health conditions like depression and anxiety, as well as substance abuse disorders and other behavioral problems. Behavioral health professionals, such as therapists and counselors, work with individuals to help them understand and manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in order to improve their overall well-being and quality of life.

Some of the things Behavioral Health Specialists do include:

• Provide therapy and counseling to individuals who are struggling with mental health conditions, substance abuse disorders, or other behavioral problems

• Develop treatment plans and goals with patients, and work with them to achieve those goals
