Being the first,
doctors are given the unique opportunity
to link individuals with proper care. To
refer a patient for psychological help
is an important decision. At Gersten
Center for Behavioral Health, we
recognize the significance of making the
right decision —the right referral.
We
are here to help.
We coordinate care.
Collaborating with physicians to
offer the
best possible care, we consult with
you
about your patient’s treatment and
key
decisions.
We make it easy.
Understanding the demands of managed
care, contracted with most insurance
companies, we respond to your needs
by checking patient insurance
benefits,
authorizing sessions, and
promptly scheduling the appointment.
We achieve results.
Working closely with you, we help
your patient function at the highest
possible level,
attain contentment, and find
fulfillment in his or her life.
Knowing when to refer someone for
psychological help is not always
clear.
Patients present with a variety of
symptoms or complaints that may
benefit from or
indicate a need for psychological
treatment.

more common reasons for seeking
psychotherapy:
Feeling overwhelmed or stressed
Relationship struggles

Increased anger and loss of control
Marital or family problems

Traumatic experiences
Sleep complaints

life
