Psychiatric Evaluations
Conducted using DSM-V criteria, evaluations are based on detailed history and comprehensive clinical assessment. The findings of these evaluations are reviewed with the patient and if appropriate with the patient’s support system. A treatment plan addressing core findings is presented. We recommend collaborating with other providers involved in patient care.
Medication Management
Medications are frequently needed to target potential psychiatric symptoms. However, their initiation and ongoing use carries risk of side effects. We take specific steps to educate patients on the risks and benefits of each medication being considered or used. Ongoing monitoring of side effects is routine part of the clinic visits. Effort to minimize the use of polypharmacy (use of multiple medications) is regularly undertaken. We pride ourselves in taking sufficient time to review each medication, its utility and side effect with our patients. We emphasize the need for a complete and unhurried conversation and ongoing availability for any follow-up questions.
Psychotherapy
Individual, couples, and family therapy form a vital part of behavioral healthcare. Therapy is provided with a focus approach to address specific issues using evidence- based methodologies. Awareness and education about the specific issues and systematic methods of controlling them with the ultimate aim of patients gaining control over their presenting symptoms so as to contain them independently. The therapists are committed to significantly improving the quality of life of their patients.
