Cynthia Stone, DBH, LMHC, NCC
Director of Integrated Behavioral Health of Community Care Physicians
Dr. Cynthia Stone is the Director of our Integrated Behavioral Health program. This program provides mental health, substance use, and behavioral health care for the patients of Community Care Physicians by embedding behavioral health providers within our practices and linking patients to specialty mental health care they may need within our community. Dr. Stone earned her Doctor of Behavioral Health at Arizona State University, College of Health Sciences. Dr. Stone is a member of the American Psychiatric Association, Collaborative Family Healthcare Association, and the American Counseling Association.
Dr. Stone has always had a strong interest in psychology, human behavior, wellness, and helping others live their best life possible by overcoming and managing difficult issues and life stressors. Coinciding with her interests, she acknowledges the mind-body-spirit connection and the effect one system has on the other. Experienced in mental health counseling and private practice, along with fitness and wellness training, she now finds multiple benefits in integrated primary care using the team approach to treating her patients. Dr. Stone is additionally excited to be involved in the proliferation of both the clinical and organizational components of integrated behavioral health care as she is active in research, presenting, and publishing.
Jenna Gazzillo, LMHC
Jenna is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and works as a Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC) on our Integrated Behavioral Health team. BHCs at Community Care Physicians are licensed mental health providers and social workers. Many are embedded within our practices working side by side with your doctor and health care team in delivering you the best “whole person” healthcare possible.
Jenna has experience working with children and their families. She is a member of the New York Mental Health Counselors Association (NYMHCA). Throughout her education and training, she found that individualized treatment and collaborative care are critical in the behavioral health field.
Jenna decided she wanted to be in the mental health field during her undergraduate years. However, it wasn’t until her internship that she solidified her decision after learning more about behavioral health and its importance. When Jenna first began as an intern, providing behavioral health services to children and their families, she realized how much she enjoys working in the field and how fulfilling it was. What she found most interesting during her training is learning about child behavioral health and how counseling differs between children and adults. Jenna loves being able to do something she is so passionate about while also helping others improve their overall quality of life.
Jenna believes listening and paying attention to her patient’s needs is the most important thing she can do. She finds working with children most rewarding because she thinks they are such a vulnerable population. She likes helping them identify the necessary tools and skills that can help them for a lifetime.
In her spare time, Jenna enjoys outdoor activities with her dog, has a strong love for music and singing, and spending time with family and friends. She is also a member of the Schenectady Veterans Club.
