Villa Maria Behavioral Health

Our Approach to Wellness

At Villa Maria Behavioral Health (VMBH), we take pride in providing high-quality care that changes lives. Here’s how we strive to make this happen:

FOCUSED ON THE INDIVIDUAL

Care is led by the client’s readiness for change and their personal circumstances. We care deeply about the people we treat, so we work with the person, not just the problem they face.

NONJUDGMENTAL

VMBH creates an inclusive and accepting environment free of judgment. We are here to listen to our clients, not judge them. We believe that everyone deserves high-quality health care, no matter what brings them to our door, and we support their total well-being. We are here for anyone on Medicaid or Medicare.

INCLUSIVE

We welcome people of all religions and those who do not identify with any religion, as well as people of any gender identity or sexual orientation.

EVIDENCE-BASED CARE

Our healthcare providers don’t just have good hearts. They have skills, education and experience that make them highly qualified. They always work toward improving themselves because they believe in what they do.

CO-OCCURRING TREATMENT FOCUS

We understand how mental health and substance use are often related and can influence one another. Many outpatient providers treat either behavioral health issues or substance use disorder. We are unique in that we treat both issues simultaneously with a combination of therapy and medication management. We treat the total person.

EXPANDING ACCESS TO CARE

Through VMBH clinics, school-based partnerships, and telehealth appointments — combined with our partnerships in the communities we serve — we provide thousands of Marylanders treatment for mental health and substance use disorders. We break through the most significant barriers to care, including poverty, homelessness, lack of transportation and distance.
