El Concilio Behavioral Health & Recovery Center Staff

Our highly trained staff of licensed clinicians, counselors, case managers, and peer partners are available around the clock to help patients. But more important than our vast experience is our capacity to compassionately care for you and your family.

Free Behavioral Evaluation and Assessment.

We provide behavioral evaluations to help identify an individual’s needs. After an evaluation, individuals may be connected to one of our individual or group therapies or given a referral to appropriate community resources.

With therapies designed for mild, moderate and severe cases, this program focuses on crisis management and prevention for people with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, suicidal tendencies, or other emotional, psychological, or behavioral problems, while we also connect them to primary care physicians.

Designed around stages of life approach for various age groups, clients learn to recognize stressors and develop healthy coping mechanisms. After graduation from the program, patients are encouraged to check in periodically with us, or return as needed to stabilize a crisis.

The children’s program provides services for ages 0-12 who have emotional, psychological, or behavioral problems.  We emphasize personalized care based on behavioral observation and prior history. Commonly treated conditions include:
