Services Offered at Family Psychiatry

At Family Psychiatry, we offer a wide range of mental health services, including:

• Assessment and Diagnosis: Our team of mental health experts provides comprehensive diagnostic evaluations to help identify the underlying causes of mental health symptoms. We use evidence-based assessment tools and procedures to ensure accurate diagnoses and individualized treatment plans.
• Psychotherapy: We offer a variety of psychotherapy approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. Our therapists work with patients to develop coping skills, address negative thought patterns, and improve communication and relationships.
• Medication Management: Our psychiatrists provide medication management services for patients who require medication as part of their treatment plan. We work closely with patients to monitor medication effectiveness and side effects, and adjust medications as needed.
• Cutting-Edge Treatments: We offer cutting-edge treatments such as TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) for depression. TMS is a noninvasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. It is an effective treatment option for patients who have not responded to traditional antidepressant medication.
• Educational and Psychological Testing: We offer educational and psychological testing to help identify learning disabilities, ADHD, and other mental health conditions that may be impacting academic performance.
• Parenting Skills Enhancement: We offer parenting skills enhancement programs to help parents develop effective strategies for managing behavioral issues and improving communication with their children.
• School Liaison: We work closely with schools to ensure that students receive the support they need to succeed academically and socially.
• Group and Couples Therapy: We offer group and couples therapy to help individuals improve their relationships and communication skills.

New Treatments: NeuroStar TMS Therapy for Depression

At Family Psychiatry, we are proud to offer the latest technology in depression treatment: NeuroStar TMS Therapy. NeuroStar TMS is a noninvasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. It is an effective treatment option for patients who have not responded to traditional antidepressant medication.

NeuroStar TMS is a safe and well-tolerated treatment option for depression. It does not require anesthesia, and the most common side effect is headache during or after treatment. While results are not permanent, most patients feel better for many months after treatment stops, with the average length of response being a little more than a year.
