Services
Children (Ages 9-12)
Every parent deserves a safe environment where you and your child are involved in his or her care. You may have seen a change in your child’s behavior related to anxiety, self-esteem, focus, hyperactivity, or oppositional behavior. We start with a straightforward approach that emphasizes education so that you understand what your child is going through. Working with you, we will develop a treatment plan tailored to your child’s diagnosis, needs, and age. In addition to a very conservative medication approach, we work with your child to understand and express their feelings in a positive manner.
Adolescents (Ages 13-17)
Your teenager may be experiencing a roller coaster of emotions. Whether they are new to high school or getting ready for college, adolescence is an exceptional time. We believe in an approach that treats your son or daughter’s specific challenges as a teen in addition to the diagnosis. We begin by considering how peer interaction and social media are impacting your teen’s mental health. Adolescence and increased independence go hand and hand, so factors like academics, work, athletics, and other extracurricular activities influence a personalized treatment plan.
Young Adults (Ages 18-24)
Transitioning to college or a career can be challenging. Increased stressors like the pressure to succeed, financial decision making, dating, moving often, living with roommates and other age specific factors may be impacting your mental health. Many times, people of this age are confronted with anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma, or focus issues that they have not previously experienced. For example, many people, especially women, are diagnosed with ADHD at this age. Whether you have an existing condition or have questions regarding new issues in your life, we are here to help.
Adults (Ages 25-65)
We treat adults at all ages and all stages of their lives. Adult ADHD, stress, burnout, divorce, grief, substance use and physical health are just a few factors that can contribute to mental instability. Our core values embrace a holistic approach with treatment specific to the individual. With this very diverse group, we believe your life experience, age, culture, gender, spirituality, sexuality, friendships, and values are instrumental in defining you as a whole person.
Therapy
Evidence shows that comprehensive treatment involving therapy and the application of coping skills, in addition to medication, yield the best results for improving and maintaining mental health. The level of therapy is personalized to your needs and is defined by the goals that you set for yourself. In doing so, we address the psychological and environmental factors impacting your life. At any level, we look to increase your insight through an understanding of the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
Medication Management
Psychiatric medications are designed to treat neurochemical imbalances in the brain responsible for mental health concerns. We strive to improve quality of life with the most effective and least intrusive medications that are specific to the individual’s needs. We value your safety, your history and education regarding medication treatment, and your time. Our treatment approach is to start low, make adjustments at your pace, and give you more than one option that will help you reach your goals.
