Our Behavioral Health Program

Our providers can provide a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation that can provide a pathway forward to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.  

A mental evaluation is, in its least complex terms, an assessment intended to analyze emotional,  social, or formative conditions to render a diagnosis for treatment. 

The comprehensive assessment will investigate numerous perspectives including formative history, medicinal history, family traits, social environment impact, scholastic/work concerns, and emotional and psychological qualities and disorders.. 

Every provider has his or her own framework for the underlying assessment and a definitive determination may not be made in the principal visit. 

A typical psychiatric evaluation make take 60 to 90 minutes.

Psychotherapy is a mental health treatment that involves talking with a mental health professional to address mental illness or emotional issues. It can be used to treat bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma. Psychotherapy can be an important part of treatment for mental illness. It can help people understand their mental illness, learn how to manage it, and cope with the symptoms. Psychotherapy can also help people who have been affected by mental illness in their family or who have experienced a traumatic event.

After the initial evaluation, a diagnosis is made and a treatment plan is structured with patient stabilization and improvement in conditions as the focus.   At the point when the patient concedes to a prescription and treatment alternative, a drug is chosen and there will be a period of monitoring  to ensure the viability.  This the actual "medication management" part of the process.  The provider has to manage the side effects, effectiveness, and patient compliance when introducing new drugs for treatment.  Since Psychiatric prescriptions are distinctive from person to person, the appropriateness of medication may change from individual to individual.
