Behavioral health
Psychotherapy at the Healthe Clinic is a collaborative treatment program grounded in open, neutral dialogue. Members and therapists will work together to identify and change the thought and behavior patterns that are keeping you from feeling your best. Information shared during your session is kept completely confidential within the Clinic’s electronic medical record. Therapy notes are brief; documentation indicates your attendance, major themes and interventions. Your diagnosis may be discussed with other members of the Healthe Clinic team but only when information is critical to your care. Clinic therapists also provide testing and formal assessment services as clinically appropriate.
Healthe Clinic therapists take your privacy seriously. In addition to the therapist being neutral, objective and non-judgmental, the information you share is highly protected and safe-guarded. Our therapists even take steps to protect your privacy within the clinic lobby by practicing discretion when you arrive and present to your appointment. Psychotherapy notes are brief, noting only the member's attendance, major themes and interventions. Your diagnosis and treatment may be discussed with other members of the Healthe Clinic care team, but this is limited to the minimum necessary for member care.
Aside from psychotherapy, clinic therapists also provide testing and formal assessment for members who may benefit. Psychological testing is the objective and standardized measurement of mental health symptoms or conditions. The Healthe Clinic therapists may utilize these tools to better understand and treat.

What if I haven't elected a Cerner health plan?
Associates and their families not enrolled in a Cerner health plan or unable to cover out of pocket Clinic expenses are encouraged to explore behavioral health services managed through our EAP partner, My Life Resources. This service will connect you with community counselors and cover up to six sessions at no charge for Cerner associates and their dependent family members. If you require additional or specialized assistance, you may be referred to an additional specialist. My Life Resources can be reached at 1-800-327-0795. Following a brief intake, arrangements will be made for you to meet with a counselor in the geographic area of your choosing. Unless you authorize an EAP counselor to share details on your behalf, your information will remain confidential.
