Services
PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES
Psychotherapy is a systematic treatment method in which, during regularly scheduled meetings, the psychiatrist and patient discuss troubling problems and feelings. The physician helps clients understand the basis of these problems and find solutions.
PSYCHOTROPIC MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
Medication Management includes prescribing medication, and the initial evaluation of the client's need for psychotropic medications, the provision of a prescription, and, as-needed, ongoing medical monitoring/evaluation related to the patient’s use of the psychotropic medication.
PSYCHOTHERAPY
Psychotherapy treats mental health problems by talking with a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health provider. Clients learn about their condition and moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Psychotherapy helps clients learn how to take control of their life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.
