All of our patients are individuals with different problems, personalities, and situations. Because we have a broad range of clinicians and treatment modalities, we have the ability to personalize a treatment plan that fits our patients and don’t need to force our patients to fit a specific treatment.
In order to address our patients’ issues, we follow a stepwise process:
Personalized Comprehensive Solutions
Step 1: Getting to the Roots
We prefer to begin with a comprehensive evaluation in order to decide on the best treatment plan. This generally begins with a thorough psychiatric evaluation. In some cases, the evaluation may suggest pursuing further evaluation through neuropsychological testing, EEG testing, laboratory testing, or a nutritional evaluation.
Step 2: Repair
Once we understand the problem and what is causing it, we can then try to repair the problem, preferably by addressing its root causes, whether that cause is biochemical, nutritional, situational, environmental, neurological, or psychological. For some, an uncomplicated medication treatment might be sufficient. For some, group therapy and a meditation class might be ideal. By having a full range of services available, we can tailor treatment as needed.
Step 3: Maintenance and Mental Wellness
Sometimes a psychiatric problem resolves after treatment never to return. Sometimes the vicissitudes of life add stress the causes an occasional exacerbation. An ongoing focus on a healthy mind and body can be beneficial and for some people some form of maintenance treatment can be critical.
