Outpatient Therapy
Outpatient therapy works for managing family conflict, depression, anxiety, marital problems or the stresses of parenting children. Therapy helps couples solve disagreements about in-laws, money, intimacy, marital affairs and balancing household responsibilities.
Other reasons to seek a professional perspective include divorce, geting married, coping with unemployment, sexual problems, job dissatisfaction, loss of a loved one, and panic attacts.
For the Elderly
At a time of life that could be tranquil and worry free, an increasing number of retired and elderly people are referred for mental health consultations. Outpatient counseling can benefit older adults experiencing losses that have become overwhelming. Depression, financial worries, chronic family problems, loss of friends and family members, and unexplained physical pain all take their toll.

- School disruption or fights

Psychiatric Medication Monitoring
Lake Chelan's Behavioral Care Services provides medication monitoring to assist clients with management of their medications, educate clients about medication issues, and to facilitate a commitment to taking medications responsibly.
Medication monitoring services are provided with a referral and / or order from an individual's treating psychiatrist or physician. Medication support, observation and monitoring occur according to each individual accessed need, with the goal of helping the client achieve independence in the management of medication.
Co-occuring Conditions
What is a co-occuring condition? When a person is affected by both an emotional or psychiatric illness and chemical dependency, he/she suffers from co-occurring conditions. Psychiatric illness and chemical dependency affect an individual physically, psychologically, socially and spiritually. Although the two conditions are separate and independent, they interact in ways that make diagnosis, treatment and recovery more complex. Our team of professionals can help you get on the right track.
