What We Do
Therapy/Counseling Services
Our therapy services are provided by various types of Licensed professionals such as Psychologists, Social Workers (LCSW) and Professional Counselors (LPC). Although each professional may have different training and approaches, they are all able to diagnosis and treat mental, emotional and behavioral health conditions through a variety of therapy treatment options designed to help cope with things such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and many other mental health conditions.
Medication Management Services
Our medication management services are provided by Psychiatrists (licensed Medical Doctors who specialize in Psychiatry) and Behavioral Health Certified APRNs (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse). These services include a careful assessment of your symptoms and medical history to determine if a psychiatric medication could be beneficial and if so, the provider will prescribe, monitor for side-effects, and track treatment outcomes to improve your mental health.
Diagnostic Testing/Evaluation
Diagnostic Testing/Evaluation may be recommended if you’re experiencing difficulties with specific psychological conditions such as ADHD, Autism, or Learning Disabilities.
