Living Well Center Behavioral Health Counseling
What is behavioral health counseling?
Our therapists use "talk therapy" to help you understand, manage and overcome mental and emotional challenges. In a session, we might talk about your mood, behavior, relationships and life stress. At the WashU Medicine Living Well Center, we often focus on feelings that come up because of long-term health issues, like chronic pain. Whether you need help with specific mental health problems, are going through a tough time or life transition, or want to make healthy changes in your life, therapy can be a great way to get support. It is a safe place to help you heal and work towards a better quality of life.
