Regardless of which service is right for you, my philosophy is the same. Our collaboration together will help create the best individualized treatment for you or your child.
Medication /and Supplement Services
My main area of expertise is in the use of medications and supplements in treating psychiatric conditions. My recommendation to use medications or supplements will be based on the type of problem we are encountering, the severity of the issue, and the immediacy for the need for treatment.
During our discussion addressing the need for medication, we will speak to the ability of the medication to treat that specific problem, the risks and benefits of using the medication, and the option of not using medications at all. We’ll talk about how the ability of medications to fit into your lifestyle including regarding compliance, costs, and potential side effects, etc. We can also discuss using complimentary, scientifically proven alternative treatments. It is important during these discussions that you to voice any your concerns or and ask any questions, so we can work toward solutions that work for you or your child.
We are a team in this process. Our collaboration together will help create the best individualized treatment for you or your child. The cost of these services depends on the complexity of the problem at hand combined with the length of time of the session.
Psychotherapy Services
Psychotherapy is not easily described in general terms statements. It varies depending on the personalities of the psychiatrist and patient, and the specific problems you are experiencing. I am trained in five types of therapy. The types of therapies I am trained in :
- cognitive- behavioral therapy,
- acceptance and commitment therapy
- play therapy
- supportive therapy
- insight-oriented and psychodynamic therapy.
All of them have been proven to be helpful to many people. With your input, I will tailor your treatment based on which approach is best for you or your child.
The cost of these services will also vary depending on time used and if medication services are involved.
