Acquiring qualified psychiatric and medical help to address a wide range of symptoms and conditions can be essential to enjoying a normal and independent way of life.
Psychiatric Evaluations
A psychiatric evaluation is a diagnostic tool employed by a psychiatrist. It may be used to diagnose problems with memory, thought processes, and behaviors. Diagnoses can include depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and addiction.
Evaluations for Adult ADD and ADHD Treatments
For adults, an ADHD diagnostic evaluation should be conducted by a licensed mental health professional or a physician. This will help put you on a path of better mental health.
Medication Management
Medication management is a program that supports people in controlling their medication so that they take them on time, every time, and avoid the risks associated with inappropriate medication administration.
ADD / ADHD
ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a condition with symptoms such as inattentiveness, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The symptoms differ from person to person. ADHD was formerly called ADD, or attention deficit disorder. Both children and adults can have ADHD, but the symptoms always begin in childhood. Adults with ADHD may have trouble managing time, being organized, setting goals, and holding down a job.
PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
People who have undergone or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural distaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, or rape, or who have been threatened with death, sexual assault, or serious injury, may develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Bipolar Disorders
Major Depressive Disorders
A mental health disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life. Possible causes include a combination of biological, psychological, and social sources of distress. Increasingly, research suggests these factors may cause changes in brain function, including altered activity of certain neural circuits in the brain.
Substance Abuse and Alcohol Abuse
Substance abuse differs from addiction. Many people with substance abuse problems are able to quit or can change their unhealthy behavior. Addiction, on the other hand, is a disease. It means you can’t stop using even when your condition causes you harm. Both legal and illegal drugs have chemicals that can change how your body and mind work.

Anxiety Disorders
The term “anxiety disorder” refers to specific psychiatric disorders that involve extreme fear or worry, and includes generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder and panic attacks, agoraphobia, social anxiety disorder, selective mutism, separation anxiety, and specific phobias.
Panic Attacks
A panic attack is a sudden episode of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause. Panic attacks can be very frightening. When panic attacks occur, you might think you’re losing control, having a heart attack or even dying. Many people have just one or two panic attacks in their lifetimes, and the problem goes away, perhaps when a stressful situation ends. But if you’ve had recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and spent long periods in constant fear of another attack, you may have a condition called panic disorder.
Phobias
A phobia is a type of anxiety disorder defined by a persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation. Phobias typically result in a rapid onset of fear and are present for more than six months. If you feel that you need or want to get over or at least minimize your phobia(s), we can help you.
Agoraphobias
Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder that often develops after one or more panic attacks. Symptoms include fear and avoidance of places and situations that might cause feelings of panic, entrapment, helplessness, or embarrassment.
Treatments include talk therapy and medication. To help you get back to some semblance of normalcy, reaching out to a mental health provider is one of the best investments for yourself that you can do.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD)
Dementias (Alzheimer)
Brain cell connections and the cells themselves degenerate and die, eventually destroying memory and other important mental functions. Memory loss and confusion are the main symptoms. No cure exists, but medications and management strategies may temporarily improve symptoms.
Schizophrenias
The exact cause of schizophrenia isn’t known, but a combination of genetics, environment, and altered brain chemistry and structure may play a role.
Schizophrenia is characterized by thoughts or experiences that seem out of touch with reality, disorganized speech or behavior, and decreased participation in daily activities. Difficulty with concentration and memory may also be present.
Treatment is usually lifelong and often involves a combination of medications, psychotherapy, and coordinated specialty care services.
Schizo-affective Disorders
Schizoaffective disorder is a combination of symptoms of schizophrenia and mood disorder, such as depression or bipolar disorder. Symptoms may occur at the same time or at different times. Cycles of severe symptoms are often followed by periods of improvement. Symptoms may include delusions, hallucinations, depressed episodes, and manic periods of high energy. People with this disorder generally do best with a combination of medications and counseling.
Psychosis
Psychosis may occur as a result of a psychiatric illness like schizophrenia. In other instances, it may be caused by a health condition, medications, or drug use.
Possible symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, talking incoherently, and agitation. The person with the condition usually isn’t aware of his or her behavior. Treatment may include medication and talk therapy.
