Diagnostic Evaluation
Over the course of one to two sessions, we review your current symptoms, your history, and your treatment goals. We determine the diagnosis and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Medication Management
We prescribe medication with the goal of getting your symptoms into remission. We meet regularly to determine the effectiveness of your medication, monitor for side effects, and make any necessary adjustments.
Psychotherapy
We use evidence based psychotherapy (talk therapy) to treat your symptoms, and to help you develop new skills to maintain your mental health over the longterm. Using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), we identify the thought patterns and behaviors that are driving your symptoms. We work together to build more flexible and healthy approaches to your thinking and behavior.
Second Opinion
We perform a full review of your symptoms and treatment history to reevaluate your diagnosis and develop a new approach to your treatment.
