Behavioral Health

CHN believes that true
wellness comes from a
healthy mind and body.

CHN offers behavioral health services at all of our centers for adults, children and families. Our trained team of Psychiatrists, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, Therapists and Social Workers work with our primary care teams to ensure that our patients are receiving care that will treat the mind as well as the body.

We offer these behavioral health services:
