INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Individualized therapy services designed to help clients better understand themselves and their emotions, and the challenges they may be facing. We work to identify unhealthy patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop healthier ways of thinking, coping, and responding to life’s challenges.
We utilize a variety of evidence-based psychotherapy modalities tailored to each client’s unique needs. Therapy may focus on areas such as anxiety, depression, stress management, trauma, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, emotional regulation, life transitions, and personal growth.
PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATIONS
Our psychiatric evaluations are designed to provide a thorough understanding of each client’s emotional, behavioral, and mental health needs. During the evaluation process, we gather information about symptoms, medical history, lifestyle factors, and personal experiences to develop an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
These evaluations help determine the most appropriate path forward, which may include therapy, medication management, or additional supportive services tailored to the individual’s goals and well-being.
GENESIGHT TESTING
GeneSight testing is a genetic test that helps identify how an individual’s body may respond to certain psychiatric medications based on their unique DNA.
This testing can provide valuable insights that assist providers in selecting medications that may be more effective and better tolerated, helping reduce trial-and-error in the treatment process and supporting more personalized mental health care.
ADHD TESTING
Our ADHD testing services are designed to evaluate attention, focus, impulsivity, and behavioral patterns to help determine whether Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder may be affecting daily life, school, work, or relationships.
Through a comprehensive assessment process, we gather information about symptoms, history, and functioning to provide accurate insights and personalized recommendations for treatment and support.
MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
When appropriate, we may recommend and prescribe medications to support each client’s treatment goals. We believe in helping clients make informed decisions by offering both medication-based and non-medication treatment options tailored to their needs.
Our medication management services include evaluations for psychotropic medications, prescriptions when needed, and ongoing monitoring to ensure safety, effectiveness, and positive outcomes. We carefully review medications, potential side effects, and overall progress while working alongside counseling and other supportive therapies to provide well-rounded care.
