Medication Management
Psychiatric medication management is an outpatient treatment that involves the potential diagnosis of the patient and their need for psychotropic medications. The initial evaluation usually takes around an hour. The prescriber will create treatment plans and prescribe medication(s) if they feel it is necessary to aid their mental health. The patient will then follow up with their provider a month later to evaluate and adjust medications as needed. Follow-up appointments usually last around twenty minutes. Once the patient is on a successful regimen, they will follow-up with their provider every three months at our office. We do offer telehealth follow-up visits, but patients do need to be seen at least once a year in the office for vitals.
Our Medication Providers:
Counseling
The aim of Cognitive Behavioral Counseling is to help you overcome your problem by thinking, feeling, and behaving differently. In CBT, the client is the "expert" on their problems and seeks guidance on how to overcome them, and the counselor is the expert on clarifying the nature of problems and on methods to overcome them. Together, the client and counselor work together collaboratively as a team, jointly working towards overcoming the problems. It is a well-researched approach with good evidence for its efficacy.
First Responders/Military Program
The purpose of the First Responders Program is to provide education, training, and support services in comprehensive critical incident stress management, crisis intervention, and disaster behavioral health services.
The goal is to strengthen responder resiliency, improve critical stress recovery time, and rapidly process traumatic events thereby improving health and quality of life for the department. Healthy, resilient first responders are better equipped to manage and recover from repeated critical stress, allowing for professional growth and development, better response times, more professional interactions on scene and within department roles which lends to healthier communities.
Mission: To destigmatize first responder mental health issues, make support accessible, to help responders learn to recognize signs of critical incident stress in themselves and other members and encourage them to seek support. It is our mission to create a team of support that provides professional, compassionate, trauma informed care within a confidential and safe environment that promotes health and healing.
