Behavioral Health & Mental Wellness Coordination
Ohana helps coordinate access to independent, licensed behavioral health provider partners who understand the unique emotional and behavioral needs of seniors and the families who care for them. Availability and eligibility may vary by provider participation.
Geriatric-aware behavioral health support.
Coordinated access to independently licensed clinicians with experience working with elderly patients, their families, and end-of-life care settings.
Individual Counseling
One-on-one therapy for seniors experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment to illness, or life transitions, with clinicians experienced in geriatric populations.
Psychiatric Evaluation
Evaluation by licensed psychiatric professionals for medication management and diagnosis, available through our behavioral health network for seniors with complex mental health needs.
Behavioral Health Support
Clinical support for dementia-related behavioral symptoms, including agitation, sleep disruption, social withdrawal, and mood disturbances, coordinated through licensed specialists.
Family & Caregiver Support
Counseling for family members and caregivers navigating burnout, grief, difficult family dynamics, or the emotional weight of long-term caregiving for an aging loved one.
Behavioral Health Support Areas
Behavioral health can include mental health, emotional wellness, counseling support, psychiatric provider coordination, substance use support resources when applicable, and behavior-related care needs. Ohana helps seniors and families navigate these needs by coordinating access to independent provider partners and appropriate support resources.
Behavioral health is part of whole-person care.
For many seniors, asking for behavioral health support is unfamiliar territory. Ohana's coordination team approaches these conversations with respect and without judgment.
Depression, anxiety, and grief are not a normal or inevitable part of aging; they are clinical conditions that respond to treatment. Getting connected to a qualified clinician is a sign of strength, not weakness. We make that connection as simple as one call.
Who we most often coordinate for:
- Seniors experiencing depression or grief after loss of a spouse
- Patients adjusting to a new diagnosis or significant functional loss
- Seniors in assisted living or memory care with behavioral symptoms
- Family caregivers experiencing burnout, resentment, or compassion fatigue
- Hospice patients and families navigating anticipatory grief
In-person and telehealth options.
Many network clinicians offer telehealth sessions, especially valuable for seniors with mobility limitations, those residing in assisted living, or patients in areas with limited local provider access.
Telehealth availability varies by clinician and patient location. All telehealth services are delivered by independently licensed California clinicians in compliance with applicable telehealth licensing requirements.
