Our Approach to Mental Health Treatment
Personalized Care That Addresses Your Whole Person
Integrated Primary Care:
Unlike standalone facilities, we're your primary care clinic. We see your complete medical picture—physical health conditions, current medications, and family history. This integrated approach leads to better outcomes because mental and physical health influence each other.
Personalized Support:
Every person experiences mental illness differently. Your treatment plan is tailored to your diagnosis, symptoms, medical history, and life circumstances. We create services to meet your unique needs.
Expert Care:
Our providers have extensive training in psychiatric medications. We understand how treatments work, potential side effects, drug interactions, and how to adjust therapy based on your response.
Coordination with Specialists:
When you need specialized care—a partial hospitalization program, inpatient hospitalization, addiction treatment—we coordinate referrals and share records. You're not left to figure out the system alone.
Regular Access:
We maintain regular office hours with appointments available for new patients and established clients. While we're not a 24/7 crisis center, we provide consistent, reliable access to mental wellness.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
The Evaluation Process
Initial Consultation:
Your first appointment focuses on understanding your story. We'll discuss:
- Current symptoms and when they started
- How mental health struggles affect your daily life
- Previous treatments you've tried
- Family history of mental illness
- Medical conditions and current medications
- Substance use
- Life stressors and support system
This conversation helps us assess what's happening and determine the right diagnosis and approach.
Mental Health Evaluation:
We may use standardized screening tools to evaluate the severity of depression, anxiety, or other symptoms. These help measure your condition objectively and track improvement over time.
Treatment Planning:
Based on your evaluation, we'll discuss options. If medication makes sense, we'll explain which might help, how they work, what to expect, and potential side effects. If you need services we don't provide, we'll connect you with appropriate specialists or programs.
Follow-Up Schedule:
Mental health treatment requires ongoing care. We'll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your response, adjust treatment, and address concerns. Regular check-ins are essential for recovery.
