Programs and Services

Sanford Behavioral Health offers a variety of programs, so you can get the level of treatment you need.

• Inpatient care is medical care that happens in a hospital. We treat patients with severe symptoms that need to be monitored by health professionals.

• Outpatient care is like a visit to your family doctor. Outpatient behavioral health care means patients come to a Sanford Health clinic to receive treatment and leave when the visit is complete.

• Partial hospitalization programs are in between inpatient and outpatient care. You may participate in a PHP if you don’t need to be monitored 24/7 by health care professionals but need more comprehensive attention than outpatient care can provide. Patients receive treatment throughout the day and go home at night.

• Virtual care offers convenient appointment options. Patients can connect with a specialist using their computer, tablet or smartphone Learn how to schedule an appointment or get care now.

• Community-based care delivers services and resources to your home community.

Windom Provider: Jessica Cowan

I received my master's from Capella in 2020 in mental health counseling with an LPCC track. I have worked with Early childhood, teenagers, and adults. I don’t have a certain approach that I use / but I do love the serenity prayer and try to use that as much as I can in my professional and personal life.

I have provided individual, family, and group therapy. I believe that building rapport and collaborating with the client, is the key to self-sustaining change. I enjoy helping clients and families navigate through difficult situations and providing them with the empowerment they have within.

I enjoy spending time with my husband and two boys in my free time. I enjoy golfing, being outdoors, exercising, cooking, and playing games with family and friends.

Programs and Services:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a short-term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior.

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy is much more than sitting and talking about whatever comes to mind during a session. CBT sessions are structured to ensure that the therapist and the person in treatment are focused on the different goals of each session, which in turn ensures that each and every session is productive.

• Counseling for Anxiety

  • When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.

  • Therapy can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears, learn how to relax, look at situations in a new, less frightening way, and develop better coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.

• Play Therapy

  • Play therapy is a method of meeting and responding to the mental health needs of children and is extensively acknowledged by experts as an effective and suitable intervention in dealing with children’s brain development. It is generally employed with children aged 3 through 11 and provides a way for them to express their experiences and feelings through a natural, self-guided, self-healing process. As children’s experiences and knowledge are often communicated through play, it becomes an important vehicle for them to know and accept themselves and others.

• Medication Therapy Management in St. James, Minnesota

  • Medication therapy management (MTM) provides education and consultations for the medications you're taking. The result is enhanced communication with your health care provider because you better understand your medications. This creates time for you to speak with your health care provider about other medical issues rather than focusing the conversation on medications and side effects. 

  • During an MTM consultation, a pharmacist meets with you to discuss all of your medications including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and dietary and herbal supplements. The pharmacist then examines each medication individually to determine possible side effects, negative interactions and unnecessary dosages. If medication issues are detected, the pharmacist will work with your health care providers to make beneficial changes to your medication regimen.

  • You're welcome to have a caregiver or someone who helps you with your medications come with you to the consultation. Be sure to bring all of your prescription and over-the-counter medications and nutritional supplements with you.

  • During the consultation, you will:

    • Learn ways to make taking your medications simpler and easier.

    • Receive a private, customized medication care plan for all medications and supplements you take.

    • Understand the best time to take each medicine and if it should be taken with or without food.

    • Learn how to safely use medication devices, such as blood glucose meters or inhalers.

    • Understand how you may be able to reduce your medication costs by using medications appropriately, avoiding side effects and using less expensive medications.

  • Medication therapy management is a covered service under some government and private prescription plans. Please check with your prescription drug plan for coverage information. Your insurance is billed directly for the consultation.

  • If a medication therapy management visit seems right for you, talk to your care team about a referral.
