In the Department of Family and Community Medicine, our behavioral health specialists play a very important role as members of the multidisciplinary care team. These individuals are available for scheduled counseling sessions and may sometimes be called upon to provide instant, integrated support as part of any visit with your primary care provider (PCP). Additionally, our behavioral health specialists can assist with accessing various resources within The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center or community that may aid in our patients’ quest for optimal health and wellness.

Since behavioral health plays such an important role in patients’ ability to manage chronic disease (i.e. diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure, etc.), it is critical to have adequate access to these healthcare professionals. Imbedding these individuals in the place where you receive your primary care not only enables better access to these services but allows the specialists to collaborate directly with your PCP to make the best decisions possible regarding your care.

Our behavioral health specialists are:

• Laurie Greco, PhD
• Nicole Hollingshead, PhD
• Sara Lacy, PsyD
• Risa Long, PhD
• Scott Olenick, PhD
• Kinjal Pandya, PhD
• Maria Williams Alexander, PsyD
