Simple mastectomy and modified radical mastectomy. A simple mastectomy (left) removes the breast tissue, nipple, areola and skin but not all the lymph nodes. A modified radical mastectomy (right) removes the entire breast â including the breast tissue, skin, areola and nipple â and most of the underarm (axillary) lymph nodes.

In this model the behavioral health provider (often called a Behavioral Health Consultant or BHC) is a fully integrated member of the primary care practice and functions as a consultant to patients as well as to practice team members.
Within each provider type, a behavioral health provider may have a certain subspecialty (for example, treatment of mood disorders or stress disorders) and may specialize in individual therapy with adults, child therapy or family therapy. You may ask the provider if he or she has such a subspecialty or area of expertise.
