Saint Louis Behavioral Medicine Institiute>> About SLBMI

We offer comprehensive treatment plans to meet the individual needs of children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and their families suffering from emotional and behavioral problems.

Founded in 1995, Saint Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute has become an established resource for mental health care within the City of St. Louis, as well as providing primary mental health care treatment and general counseling in two additional locations throughout the St. Louis Metropolitan area.

Range of Services:

Patients and their families interact with our professional team and work together to identify problems and formulate individual treatment plans, with rapid step-down to less intensive outpatient services on Saint Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute’s continuum of services.

We are especially proud of our nationally recognized programs i.e. Anxiety Disorders Program, The Psychology and Religion Program, Headache and Pain Management Program, and Eating Disorders Program. We are excited to offer additional services through our two new divisions, our Forensic Evaluation Division and our Nutrition and Weight Management Division.

The Institute is an academic affiliate of Saint Louis University Health Sciences Center. Our faculty and staff support the academic mission of the University in many ways. We are frequent contributors to professional journals and regularly participate at professional meetings. Additionally, we support the University in the advanced training of family practice residents, psychologists, social workers, and medical students.

Saint Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute is part of Universal Health Services, Inc; one of the largest national providers of high-quality healthcare.

At Saint Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute, our most valuable assets are the professional staff and physicians who work as a multi-disciplinary team to treat the individual needs of the patients we serve.

The medical staff is comprised of Medical Doctors and Psychiatrists, with specialized training and certifications in child to older adult psychiatry. The licensed staff is comprised of the following: psychologists, social workers, counselors, spiritual directors, certified addiction counselors, registered nurses, art therapists, physical therapists, and Dietitians.

Over 40 licensed staff members provide the Institute an integrated base of knowledge from both the behavioral and medical sciences. These professionals collaborate as a treatment team within the Institute and in conjunction with "outside" referral professionals and organizations.

Family/Patient participation is important. We depend on the patients and their families to interact with the professional team, working toward a common goal of wellness.
