Southern Behavioral Medicine Associates Information

We are a group healthcare practice based in Mississippi treating clients in Mississippi and Louisiana. We specialize in health psychology, including evaluation and treatment of chronic pain and other medical conditions. We also treat general mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and trauma. Using evidence based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness training, and rehabilitation psychology we provide the opportunity for true recovery from debilitating medical conditions. Among our specialized services are presurgical assessments for medical procedures including implantable devices (spinal cord stimulators, intrathecal pumps, surgical implants, and transplants), spine surgery and bariatric surgery. We conduct psychological evaluations for opioid candidacy, addiction potential, and opioid risk and offer specialized treatment plans for individuals taking opiate medications. The Pain Rehabilitation Program is a 20-day intensive outpatient program designed to recover function in individuals with chronic pain conditions. This program uses rigorous physical therapy along with structured cognitive behavioral therapy to help individuals restore quality of life and reduce or remove their use of pain medications. Using a team approach involving physical medicine, psychology, and physical therapy we are able to return clients to work, school and usual daily activities. Our active telehealth program allows us to offer patients psychological evaluations in qualifying areas of Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Ohio, Kentucky, Idaho and New Hampshire. Our providers also provide independent medical evaluations, record reviews and expert testimony on forensic issues such as personal injury, psychological assessment, and psychological therapies and treatment. We accept most insurance and are certified providers for insurances based in multiple states including Alabama, Louisiana and Texas.
