Our mission is to enhance the lives of our patients through evidence-based practice.

We believe that mental health is the foundation of a life well-lived. Since 1991, we have approached clinical care as a sanctuary of restorative peace and unwavering professional expertise.

Modern clinical space
The Practice

Since 1991, our practice has been devoted to serving the population for mental health needs.

Behavioral Healthcare Services was founded with a singular focus: your mental health and wellness. Our clinical professionals treat mental health diagnoses with prescribed medications while working with primary care providers to establish the best course of treatment for all ages.

Our health professionals come from an impressive range of backgrounds and education. This diversity allows us to offer a wide variety of treatments, including medication management, counseling, TMS treatment, and other outpatient behavioral health needs.

Led by Dr. Amjad Bahnassi, who graduated medical school at 22 and completed his residency at UMass Medical Center, the practice has remained a fixture in Worcester for over 25 years. Dr. Bahnassi has been recognized as a Top Psychiatrist in Worcester, reflecting our commitment to clinical excellence.
