Other ways to connect with us
Are you already scheduled for a medical, dental or pharmacy visit at PHC? We can meet you there.
During any appointment at PHC, simply ask to connect with a Behavioral Health provider and a member of our team will connect with you during that same appointment.
Individual Support
Individual appointments are one-on-one meetings with a compassionate behavioral health clinician.
Your provider will listen to you carefully and can help you address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship challenges, sleep challenges, chronic health condition stress, reaching lifestyle goals, and more. Individual appointments are available in-person or through telehealth.
Telehealth
Accessing care should be easy. Telehealth Behavioral Health appointments mean you can access care from a location that is most convenient for you. All you need is access to the internet and a device such as a smartphone, tablet or computer.
To schedule a telehealth appointment, call us at (406)610-8166.

School-Based Behavioral Health
PHC partners with local schools to offer on-site behavioral health services. Students are able to see a PHC provider with little disruption to their schedule. At these sites, PHC staff can also connect families to medical care, dental care, health insurance, food resources, and housing resources.
Current sites include: Hellgate Elementary School District, Franklin Elementary School, Hawthorne Elementary School, Lowell Elementary School, Russell Elementary School, C.S. Porter Middle School, Big Sky High School, and Willard Alternative High School.
If you have a child at one of these schools and would like to learn more, please contact the front office at your school.
Our Model of Care
The Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model supports both your mental and physical health as part of your primary care. It may feel different than traditional therapy or counseling you have had before. Like your medical care at PHC, you may see different behavioral health clinicians who work together to support your care. If you need more specialized care than we provide in primary care, we will help connect you with the right resources. Our goal is to address concerns early and help you stay healthy over time.
Cost should never be a barrier to care. We use a sliding fee scale to adjust charges for care based on your household income (in other words, if you make less, you pay less.) Call us at (406) 258-4789 or click the link below to learn more about our commitment to serving all people, regardless of ability to pay.
*No-Show and Cancellation Policy
Because behavioral health appointments are in high demand, we request that you give at least 23 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. We find for patients with consistent appointment no-shows or cancellations it is best to move to a same-day appointment. Your healthcare team will discuss this with you if this option appears to be the right fit.
