The DHHS Adult Behavioral Health Program is an outpatient mental health service designed to support low-income residents of Montgomery County who are experiencing serious mental illness and face barriers to accessing the public mental health system due to factors such as immigration status, income level, or lack of public benefits.
The program offers a range of services, including individual and group psychotherapy, office-based case management, psychiatric evaluations, and medication monitoring. It also supports individuals in special circumstances, such as those recently discharged from psychiatric hospitals or incarceration, individuals involved with other health and human service agencies, and those who have not had success with treatment in the public mental health system.
Additionally, the program provides psychoeducation and group counseling for clients with co-occurring disorders, such as major depression and substance or alcohol use. Clients with severe substance use or dependency issues are referred to a higher level of care.
The goal of the Adult Behavioral Health Program is to improve behavioral health outcomes and enhance clients' ability to function adaptively within the community. Many staff members are bilingual in Spanish and English or Vietnamese and English, and interpretation services are available through the Language Line to ensure accessible communication for all clients.
Dr. Ola is very understanding and compassionate doctor. My visits with her are never rushed. She takes time to listen to your problems and concerns. Dr. ola and my therapist make a great team.
It’s been quite the journey trying to find a psychiatrist that actually listens and understands the struggles I’m having, rather than assuming they know what’s best. I’ve only seen Dr. Tundo twice but he’s already collaborated with my therapist and guided me in a direction that may actually help what I’m experiencing. He’s very thorough in giving options and explaining medications. I would highly recommend him!
Chris and Phillicia are an amazing team. They have been a crucial part of helping me get started on my healing journey. I highly recommend A Village Wellness to assist you with your healing journey!! Lastly please support this business because they genuinely care!! A Village Wellness I appreciate you all so much!!
My Safe Hatbor counselor is amazing. I truly owe everything that is going well with me emotionally to him. He has been invaluable to my sanity, my family and even my coworkers. I have made many changes and difficult, thoughtful decisions with the help of Jonathan! I cannot say enough about this organization!
An organization full of caring, motivated people who genuinely want to make a difference in the lives of others. It's a Black led nonprofit dedicated to caring for people with mental illness and intellectual disabilities. The work isn't glamorous, but someone has to do it, and the org tries hard to take care of its staff as well as its clients. Definitely one to watch!
