I would like to provide a very positive testimonial about Dr. Robinson and Dr. Strosahl and their work with our team. Patti and Kirk were instrumental in helping our team create a Behavioural Health Consultation Service in Calgary, AB Canada. Not only do we use their integrated health model throughout our city (we still give each new BHC a copy of their original book) but they introduced us to others in the field (e.g., Dr. Chris Hunter) who has also been important in our program development. They provided on-site training and support with our initial model and provided mentorship and training in their own clinic as our clinical leaders were able to work aside them to learn the practical application of the model. Their seminal work was a core reason we have grown our program to work with hundreds of family physicians in almost every primary care clinic in the city.

We highly recommend them for consulting and core competency training for the installation and monitoring of Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) services in the medical home.

Through the Patient-Centered Primary Care Institute Dr. Robinson developed and delivered weeklong training workshops on the Primary Care Behavioral Health model for more than 40 primary care practices in Oregon. After the training she worked with a handful of participating practices to deliver more in-depth training and coaching on-site. Dr. Robinson is a knowledgeable advocate for the PCBH model and how it complements the team-based care environment of the medical home. MVCG offered a robust package of helpful assessment, tracking and other implementation resources to training participants in a way that allowed them to be customized to a particular clinic’s context.

Organizations looking to better understand or implement the PCBH model would be well-served by the breadth and depth of MVCG’s experience.

In 2010, I had the pleasure to work with Mountain View Consulting through the City and County of San Francisco’s Controller’s Office, who hired them to implement the Primary Care Behavioral Health Model (PCBH) across Department of Public Health community primary care clinics. Mountain View conducted a needs assessment of all the primary care clinics to assess their readiness and implemented a training program to train primary care staff on how to implement this model across the system.

The training services that Patti and Kirk provided were top-notch. Patti has a very collaborative approach to training and incorporates hands-on learning and practice throughout. As seasoned psychologists, Patti and Kirk were able to share and integrate best practices from their clinical experience.

I would strongly recommend Mountainview Consulting services.

Having been first personally trained in behavioral health consultation skills and focused acceptance and commitment therapy by Patricia Robinson and Kirk Strosahl, I have since brought them to Finland to give lectures and workshops to Finnish health care professionals. Participants have praised Kirk and Patti’s skill of turning research-based knowledge into easily applicable clinical principles, thus helping therapists and counselors make their clinical encounters more time-efficient and compassionate. Trainees working with a wide variety of clinical populations reported being able to immediately start applying into practice what they had learned in the training. I warmly recommend Mountainview Consulting for clinicians wishing to learn methods suitable for time-limited treatments.

Organizations striving to integrate psychosocial care seamlessly into their primary care services will benefit greatly from Kirk and Patti’s extensive clinical experience, evidence-based approach, and highly practicable models of care.

Mountainview Consulting Group staff Patricia Robinson and Kirk Strosahl made excellent presentations at the Northwest Regional Primary Care Association’s Spring 2014 Primary Care conference. Dr. Robinson spoke about Behavioral Health Integration in the PCMH model in Community Health Centers and Kirk presented on the strategies he is using for patients dealing with chronic pain. We appreciate their years of experience and the models that they have pioneered and their willingness to share them with the CHC world.
