About this service

Behavioral Health Assessments at Willow Oak

A behavioral health assessment is the first step toward the right care.

Our licensed clinicians review your concerns, history, strengths, and goals to recommend the services that fit, whether that is therapy, medication care, substance use treatment, or support from a case manager. Assessments are also provided for families referred through DFCS/DHS.

Who this helps

  • People starting care for the first time
  • People returning to care or changing providers
  • Families with a referral from DFCS/DHS or another agency

What to expect

  • A conversation with a licensed clinician about what is going on and what you hope to change
  • A review of your history, current supports, and any safety concerns
  • Clear recommendations and next steps, including a treatment plan if you choose to begin services
