Services
Psychiatric evaluation
Our comprehensive psychiatric evaluations assess emotional and psychological conditions through detailed patient interviews and clinical observations. Our Nurse Practitioners diagnose mental health disorders and develop personalized treatment plans addressing depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and psychotic conditions. The evaluation process includes reviewing medical history, current symptoms, and treatment goals to create effective care strategies.
Medication management
We provide ongoing medication management services for various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Our board-certified practitioners monitor medication effectiveness, adjust dosages as needed, and educate patients about treatment options. This service includes regular follow-up appointments to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes while minimizing potential side effects through careful clinical monitoring.
ADHD evaluation
Our specialized ADHD evaluations use clinical interviews, symptom checklists, and behavioral assessments to diagnose attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children, adolescents, and adults. The comprehensive assessment process identifies co-occurring conditions and develops evidence-based treatment plans that may include behavioral interventions, educational accommodations, and medication management tailored to individual patient needs.
Medication Assisted Treatment
We offer Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for substance use disorders using FDA-approved medications combined with counseling and behavioral therapies. This evidence-based approach addresses opioid, alcohol, and other substance dependencies through personalized treatment plans that include medication management, regular monitoring, and coordinated care with addiction specialists to support long-term recovery and relapse prevention.
TeleHealth services
Our TeleHealth platform provides remote psychiatric care through secure video conferencing for patients who prefer virtual appointments. This service offers medication management, follow-up visits, and some initial evaluations while maintaining clinical standards. Patients receive appointment links via email and can access care from home while meeting federal prescribing requirements for medication management through periodic in-person visits when necessary.
