Services
Psychiatric Consultations
Comprehensive psychiatric assessments for adults facing anxiety, depression, and medication dependency challenges. Our evaluations focus on creating personalized treatment plans that integrate pharmacotherapy with evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Patients receive detailed explanations of their diagnosis and treatment options during initial 60-90 minute consultations.
Medication Tapers
Specialized program for gradual psychotropic medication reduction using 10-15% dosage decreases every 4-6 weeks. This evidence-based approach minimizes withdrawal symptoms while maintaining treatment efficacy. We focus on controlled substances like sedatives and stimulants, with options for compounding pharmacy support when needed.
Anxiety Treatment
Multimodal treatment for anxiety disorders combining medication management with therapeutic techniques from CBT, DBT, and Internal Family Systems. Our approach addresses both physical symptoms and underlying psychological factors, with particular expertise in death anxiety and medical comorbidities.
Telepsychiatry
Secure virtual appointments for psychiatric evaluations and follow-up care. This service maintains the same high standards of care as in-person visits, with flexible scheduling options including evening hours. Telepsychiatry appointments are available for both initial consultations and ongoing treatment.
Substance Use Counseling
Specialized counseling for prescription and non-prescription drug abuse issues. Our approach combines motivational interviewing with medication management strategies to address both physical dependency and behavioral patterns. The program emphasizes gradual recovery with regular progress monitoring.
