Behavioral Medicine deals with what people do that affects their health and how different illnesses affect a person's behavior.
Treatment typically involves changing habits.
These may involve thought patterns, how one deals with stress, time management or anger. Change is always hard. We help people make these changes with psychotherapy, behavior modification, physiological feedback and problem solving. The Behavioral Medicine Center is located in UVA Hospital West, Barringer IV, room 4472. The Behavioral Medicine Center operates several clinics specializing in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of a variety of medical problems that are either caused or aggravated by life style or stress.
