Behavioral Health
Our Behavioral Health team is comprised of our psychiatrist, psychiatry residents, and Behavioral Health Specialist. We support students at Deacon Health who are interested in improving their mental, emotional, and behavioral health.
Psychiatric Evaluation and Medication Management
Psychiatry is the medical treatment of mental, emotional, or behavioral concerns. Deacon Health Psychiatry offers services such as psychiatric evaluations, treatment planning, crisis care, coordination of care with other professionals, and medication management.
Students eligible for Deacon Health Services may contact 336.758.5218 to request an initial psychiatric evaluation. Prior to their first meeting, students may be asked to provide a referral or documentation from a healthcare provider.
Behavioral Health Consultation
Our Behavioral Health Specialist promotes integrated health by addressing mental, emotional, or behavioral concerns through walk-in or scheduled appointments. You may be referred by your Deacon Health provider or University Counseling Center Counselor/Psychologist, or you can contact 336.758.5218 to schedule a consultation.
