Your Beal Wellness Care Team

Beal Wellness provides care using a multidisciplinary team. Depending on your needs, your care team may include psychiatrists, physicians, physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), therapists, psychologists, care coordinators, medical assistants, and other healthcare professionals involved in your care.

Each member of your care team has a different role, but we work together toward the same goal: helping you be happy and healthy.

Medical Care and Therapy

Psychiatrists are physicians who diagnose and treat mental health conditions and may prescribe medication. Physician assistants and nurse practitioners are medical providers with advanced training who provide psychiatric care as part of our medical team.

Therapists and psychologists provide psychotherapy and other behavioral health services. Therapy gives patients an opportunity to work through emotions, experiences, relationships, behaviors, and other concerns in a confidential therapeutic setting.

For many patients, a combination of medication management and therapy works best.

We Work as a Team

When you receive services from more than one Beal Wellness provider, your providers are part of the same care team.

Members of your Beal Wellness care team may communicate with one another and share information that is relevant to your treatment, care coordination, continuity of care, and safety.

For example, your therapist may communicate with your medical provider about symptoms, treatment progress, safety concerns, medication-related observations, or other information that is important to coordinating your care. Your medical provider may also communicate information to your therapist that is relevant to your therapy treatment.

This communication helps us avoid fragmented care and allows your providers to make treatment decisions with a better understanding of your overall needs.

Your privacy remains important to us. Care-team communication should be limited to information that is appropriate for treatment and care coordination. Psychotherapy notes receive additional privacy protections and are not routinely shared among members of the care team.

Choosing Your Medical Provider

Beal Wellness has a team of qualified medical providers. Depending on scheduling, clinical needs, provider availability, and patient preference, you may receive care from different members of our medical team over the course of your treatment.

Our providers work collaboratively and have access to the information needed to provide safe and coordinated medical care.

When scheduling, we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate provider preferences. However, Beal Wellness does not honor requests to exclude providers based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or other protected characteristics.

Choosing Your Therapist

Therapy is a deeply personal experience. You may explore your beliefs, culture, relationships, childhood, experiences, emotions, and other sensitive areas with your therapist.

We understand that finding the right therapeutic relationship is important. We encourage you to choose a therapist with whom you feel comfortable, confident, and secure. Information about our therapists is available on the Beal Wellness website to help you make that choice.

Your therapist remains part of your Beal Wellness care team while also protecting the privacy and trust that are essential to the therapeutic relationship.

Our Commitment

Our goal is coordinated, respectful, patient-centered care.

By receiving services from Beal Wellness, you understand that Beal Wellness uses a multidisciplinary, team-based approach and that members of your care team may communicate with one another as appropriate for your treatment, care coordination, continuity of care, and safety.
