Mental health services are provided on an individual, family, and/or group setting. A sampling of mental health problems that are treated may involve depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, anger control, bipolar disorder, trauma, and grief. Childhood disorders such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, conduct and oppositional disorders, trauma, school and peer-related problems, and parent-child conflict are also treated in this program.

Outpatient Treatment
This assessment and treatment program is provided for adult and children who come to the center for general mental health issues. Services are provided in the BVBH offices. Sessions are 60 minutes and usually occur every one to two weeks.

The YAP is a school-based (K-12) intervention service that is coordinated with a school SCIP Team (or similar entity). This school team is able to help identify children who may be experiencing difficulties related to behavioral health issues.

Consultation Services
Consultation services make available the behavioral healthcare expertise of BVBH. Professional assistance is given to agencies and/or individual providers who have questions or concerns about their clients' behavioral functioning.

Telehealth Services
Blue Valley Behavioral Health (BVBH) is one of the leading behavioral health telehealth providers in Nebraska. Telehealth is when treatments services are provided over the internet (meeting Federally approved internet confidentiality and security standards) and the provider and client are in two different office sites. Both are able to see and communicate with each other over a monitor/screen and the session proceeds as if they were in the same room with one another.

Substance Abuse
Substance abuse services are provided on an individual, family, and/or group setting. Clients, or others affected by substance abuse, seek or are referred for these services when their functioning is negatively impacted by the abuse of alcohol and/or other drugs and is causing problems in different areas of their lives ( financial, health, legal, emotional, family, etc).
