Providing In-Person and Telehealth Psychiatric Evaluation and Medication Management
Psychiatric Evaluation
Comprehensive psychiatric evaluations involve multiple components, including exploring psychosocial factors, life history. We will explore problems with memory, thought processes and behaviors.
​
Screening tools can be used to help establish diagnosis along with input from family and friends who know you well.
​
The goal is to understand how thinking, behavior and emotions are impacting your ability to work, function in your community and within your family or social circle.
Medication Management
While medication management is not always necessary to manage mental health, it is a tool available. As licensed providers we use a conservative approach, using the least amount of medication necessary.
​
Our providers are registered with Genesight and are able to order genetic testing for psychotropic medication when requested.
​
Exploring how exercise, nutrition and other aspects of wellness are important when considering the use of psychotropic medications which we include in our ongoing evaluation.
Psychotherapy
Our providers use a combination of techniques, often in conjunction with medication management, to explore themes impacting individuals. We incorporate concepts of mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, and trauma informed theory into our practice.
​
We will predominantly offer individual therapy in conjunction with medication management, though may offer individual therapy alone on a case by case basis.
​
Group therapy will be offered periodically for PTSD, Cognitive Processing Therapy and Emotional Freedom Therapy.
Genetic Testing
GeneSight is a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes clinically important genetic variations that may affect
your outcomes with certain medications. The results of the test can show which medications may require dose adjustments, may be less likely to work, or may have an increased risk of side effects based on your genetic makeup.
​
Prior to ordering, a 90-minute intake with one of our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners is required.
