Story
Who we are
Willow’s Tree Behavioral Health aim is to provide high quality, affordable and holistic mental health care. Our treatment goals are centered around delivering multidisciplinary integrated care. We believe that mental health not only affects a person’s mind but their overall wellbeing. We believe when providing patient-focused care it is proven to improve efficiencies (ie. Lower patient care cost and collaborative care) and healthier outcomes. Willow’s Tree Behavioral Health has the strength to build strong rapport with patients and their families, establish long-term relationships, and work with multidisciplinary teams. However, in a rapidly changing industry, we face the challenge of having enough resources to navigate the trenches of branding — separating our services from look-alikes and standing out as trusted healthcare providers. Research has shown that out of the tens of millions of people with mental illnesses only half receive treatment.
Therefore, Willow’s Tree Behavioral Health will aim to provide mental health services to this underserved population and work towards changing individuals’ mindset towards people with mental health conditions. In doing so, Willow’s Tree Behavioral Health will dig deep to understand the unmet needs of our patients, identify the market gaps, and gain the trust of our patients to maintain patient retention.
