Wellspace Health-Birth & Beyond Family Resource Center

WellSpace Health (WSH) is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that was established in 1953.  We offer medical, dental and behavioral health services.  We have 13 locations throughout the city of Sacramento to make it convenient for patients to present for care.  The agency wants to not only help patients achieve health and realize their full potential but to also play a significant role in ameliorating health disparities.  WSH has a commitment to serve patients regardless of their ability to pay.  MSW interns work within the Integrated Behavioral Health Department (IBH) and will conduct biopsychosocial assessments, collaboratively develop treatment goals, and will provide therapy to patients who present with mild to moderate mental health symptoms.  The most common presenting problems at our agency are anxiety, depression, PTSD and adjustment disorders.  Interns will document in our electronic medical record (NextGen).  Interns will collaborate with primary care doctors to ensure that their clients are receiving coordinated care.  Interns, depending on their days in the field, will receive group supervision in addition to their individual supervision.  Interns will also have the opportunity to attend monthly All Provider and IBH meetings.  Interns will get exposed to a diversity of theoretical orientations with an emphasis on psychodynamic theory.
