Comprehensive Psychiatric Care for Your Mental Health
Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluations
Comprehensive psychiatric evaluations are provided for adolescents and adults ages 13 and older. These assessments include a detailed review of symptoms, mental health history, medical history, family history, lifestyle factors, and previous treatments to develop an accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment plan. The evaluation process is designed to foster a thorough understanding of each person's unique experiences and needs, creating a strong foundation for effective, evidence-based care.
Medication Management
Evidence-based medication management is tailored to each individual's unique needs and treatment goals. Medication decisions are made collaboratively, with careful consideration of symptoms, medical history, lifestyle factors, and personal preferences. Ongoing follow-up appointments focus on monitoring effectiveness, addressing side effects, and making thoughtful adjustments to support long-term mental health, wellness, and optimal treatment outcomes.
ADHD Evaluations
Creyos is a clinically validated computerized cognitive assessment platform that may be incorporated into a comprehensive ADHD evaluation for both adolescents and adults, when appropriate. The assessment measures key areas of cognitive functioning, including attention, memory, executive functioning, processing speed, and impulse control, providing objective data that can help clarify symptoms and support diagnostic decision-making. Results are integrated with a thorough clinical interview, medical and psychiatric history, and standardized rating scales to ensure a comprehensive, accurate, and individualized evaluation.
Pharmacogenetic Testing
Pharmacogenetic testing examines specific genes that may affect how your body processes and responds to certain medications. As part of a personalized approach to care, pharmacogenetic testing may be considered when clinically indicated. These tests analyze genetic factors that can influence medication metabolism and tolerability, providing additional information that can be integrated with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, clinical history, and patient preferences to guide treatment decisions.
Psychotherapy
Medication management appointments incorporate evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions when appropriate, recognizing that meaningful and lasting improvement often requires more than medication alone. Sessions may include supportive therapy, cognitive-behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, and skills-based interventions tailored to each individual's needs. This integrated approach addresses both symptom management and the underlying emotional, behavioral, and lifestyle factors that contribute to overall mental health and well-being.
