Our Vision

EBHA is a coordinated association of behavioral health clinicians committed to preserving clinician independence; improving the quality of behavioral healthcare; and providing support for the success of our members.

Our Mission

EBHA provides a platform for member collaboration, efficient client referrals, treatment coordination, professional education, and contracting with insurers.

Why We Joined

“Working as a therapist has always been my passion, but sometimes in private practice I’ve felt professionally isolated. The Evergreen Behavioral Health Association is an antidote to that. It creates a forum for connecting with colleagues on mutual interests. It also gives me a way to join with others and have a voice when talking with insurers and others invested in the work we do. The icing on the cake for me is that the organizational culture is friendly, thoughtful and pragmatic. I get to be part of making a meaningful contribution and have fun while I’m at it!”

EBHA Governing Board Member

“I have been seeing clients for almost 40 years. I have also worked as a managed care executive for 25 years. Evergreen IPA offers me the opportunity to bring these two worlds together. A well run IPA offers great value to managed care. I expect managed care organizations to recognize that value. It’s a win-win.”
