Ochsner Rush Health recently announced a new initiative that allows patients to receive comprehensive behavioral health support in the same familiar, convenient locations where they see their primary care physicians and advanced practice providers.
By integrating these services, Ochsner Rush Health reinforces its commitment to whole-person care and removes barriers to accessing mental health treatment.
Behavioral health services are available at Ochsner Health Center – Newton: 601-683-3117 and Ochsner Health Center – Philadelphia: 601-656-6921.
Patients can schedule appointments for initial behavioral health assessments, psychotherapy sessions lasting 45–60 minutes, family therapy, and couples counseling. These services are designed to provide the support, tools and treatments needed to lead healthier, more resilient lives.
The team of licensed behavioral health providers is committed to delivering expert, compassionate care. Brandon Allen, PMHNP-BC, provides care for patients aged 6 and up. Anita Lee, LPC, offers counseling for individuals aged 5 and older. Lasaundra Roberts, PMHNP-BC, specializes in care for adults aged 18 and over.
The team of professionals delivering these services holds a range of credentials to meet diverse patient needs. This includes Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Professional Counselors, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, Behavioral Health and Psychiatry Nurse Practitioners, and Psychologists. This expert team works alongside primary care physicians to ensure a seamless healthcare experience for every patient.
