Behavioral and Psychological Health

When it comes to the disease process, few diseases affect only the body or only the mind. CMH's behavioral health services focus on treating the “whole” person, not just the parts. CMH's behavioral health team includes psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors and licensed clinical social workers.

Treatment of the body alone can fail to give the desired relief. It's often because the part of the illness that affects the brain or mind has been left untreated. Providing “the other half of health care” to treat the neglected organ system often will bring relief. Numerous studies show a definite mind-body connection. For example, half of heart patients develop depression, which makes people three times as likely to have a heart attack.

Some of the Behavioral and Psychological Health conditions we treat include:

  • Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias
  • Confusion, behavioral and/or cognitive problems
  • Depression
  • Mental illness
  • Pain complaints

Parkview Wellness Center

CMH's special sub-acute center, Parkview Geriatric Wellness, is for geriatric patients ages 50 and older. The secured center provides evaluation, therapeutic activities and treatment for senior adults dealing with confusion and behavioral or cognitive problems. A low patient-to-provider ratio allows for individualized treatment.

Behavioral Health Transitional Clinic

The CMH Behavioral Health Transitional Clinic helps patients quickly receive mental health care while awaiting an appointment. The clinic accepts patients ages 15 years and older. A referral by a medical provider is needed to schedule an appointment.

Tara Billingslea, PMHNP-BC, leads the clinic. She is a mental health nurse practitioner with more than 10 years of mental health experience in various psychiatry settings. She provides counseling, medication management and education services until patients are established with a CMH behavioral health provider.

The clinic is part of Butterfield Park Medical Center, 1300 N. Oakland Ave., Bolivar, and is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Call 417-328-6131 for more information.

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Recent loss/grief
  • Behavioral issues, including aggression, defiance, hyperactivity, anger outbursts, acting out sexually, cutting/suicidal ideations, substance use and bullying

Special arrangements can be made to schedule appointments during after-school hours and summer months. Most major insurance plans are accepted, and financial assistance is available.
