Our Services
-
Psychotherapy (only in conjunction with medication management)
We incorporate psychotherapeutic strategies in all clinical sessions. Our therapy methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral therapy (DBT), and mindfulness.
We have partnered with specialty therapists such as EMDR therapists for PTSD, exposure therapists, and more to provide individualized care.
-
Medication Management
We diagnose, prescribe, and monitor psychotropics for a wide range of disorders for ages 15+. Additionally, we assist in discontinuing medications safely to prevent any side effects once clients have established healthier coping skills and made appropriate lifestyle changes.
-
ADHD Evaluations
We use several diagnostic assessment tools and screens for ADHD. Additionally, we utilize FDA approved computer monitoring tests for ages 15-60 to aid in the assessment of ADHD.
A referral to a psychologist for extensive testing may be warranted on a case by case basis.
-
Holistic Psychiatry
We aim for a goal of providing holistic treatment and offer evidence based natural therapy options for clients not interested in psychopharmacology such as light therapy, supplements, apps, yoga, mindfulness, exercise, and meditation recommendations with good evidence behind its mental health benefits.
