For Patients

Many health problems are influenced by psychosocial factors, such as stress and life demands, unhealthy behaviors, strained relationships, and even unhelpful thinking patterns. Behavioral treatment provides strategies for reducing the negative impact of these factors on your specific medical condition and your overall health.

Treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s individual needs and can help improve conditions such as insomnia, chronic pain, headaches and migraines, GI problems, weight gain, diabetes, pre-surgical preparation, and post-surgical recovery.

Most patients completing an evaluation at BHP are preparing for surgery. Surgery always involves more than the procedure itself. Preparation, recovery, and long-term lifestyle changes are also part of what many people’s surgical experience. Many surgeries are directly associated with changes in mental health. Sometimes pre-existing mental health conditions can put patients at risk for poor medical or psychological outcomes after surgery. In some cases, pre-existing mental health conditions can make it unsafe to proceed with surgery.

Everyone wants surgery to be successful, and a psychological evaluation prior to surgery helps pave the way for a safe procedure, smooth recovery, and long-term success.
