What is Behavioral Medicine?
Please note: At this time, Behavioral Medicine services at Kelsey-Seybold Clinic are available exclusively to KelseyCare Advantage members.
Behavioral medicine is an interdisciplinary field focused on the integration of behavioral, psychosocial, and biomedical science knowledge relevant to health and illness. It emphasizes the development and application of behavioral and psychological strategies for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
This specialized field examines how our behaviors, thoughts, and emotions affect physical health. Through evidence-based interventions, behavioral medicine professionals help patients modify harmful health behaviors, manage chronic conditions, and develop effective coping strategies for stress and illness.
Behavioral medicine services are delivered by a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, psychiatrists, and specialized counselors. Treatment approaches may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, stress management techniques, and mindfulness-based interventions.
