Services
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.
Types of Therapies We Offer
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skill-based treatment that focuses on the interconnection of one’s thoughts, behaviors, and emotional experiences. The therapist teaches techniques to examine and reduce unhelpful thoughts and implement new ways behaving outside of the sessions that result in desired emotional and behavioral outcomes.
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is a time limited psychotherapy that focuses on relieving emotional suffering by improving the client’s relationships and strengthening social support. The therapist helps the client utilize their strengths and maintain positive and meaningful relationships.
Mindfulness Practices
Mindfulness-informed therapy integrates present moment awareness as a tool that allows people to disengage from mental preoccupations and difficult emotions. The therapist teaches the practice of present moment awareness through non-judgement observation of the mind and body.
Supportive Therapy
Supportive psychotherapy reinforces a patient’s ability to cope with life stressors and challenges. The therapist provides the client to express their feelings and thoughts as well as consider their own hopes, goals, and next steps towards healing and wellbeing.
