Expanding possibilities for services

A new primary intervention for mental health

Increasing access to behavioral health services continues to be a priority for OneWorld. In 2023, OneWorld began offering traditional behavioral health therapy as a primary intervention. With traditional therapy, patients are able to use longer-term therapy as part of their medical treatment plan, eliminating the need for referrals that were often dropped due to barriers including language, insurance and transportation. “Traditional therapy is a big step forward for OneWorld, especially for treating trauma,” said Genevieve Sanchez-Hidalgo, LIMHP, Associate Director of Behavioral Health. “Medication can treat symptoms, but with therapy as a primary intervention, we can directly help patients improve their mental health.”

The addition of multiple behavioral therapists allowed OneWorld to increase capacity while continuing OneWorld’s short-term

and integrated care models along with Medication- Assisted Treatment.
