Outpatient Mental Health Treatment

We help patients manage their mental health symptoms through a combination of therapeutic follow up visits and medication. After a comprehensive assessment which includes diagnosis, patients will be put on a supervised medication plan. Follow up visits are designed to ensure that medication is working properly, make adjustments, and help support your recovery through psychotherapy. Medications for mental illness have the most effective results when in conjunction with long term therapeutic intervention. 

 

Intake Paperwork

After booking an appointment patients will be  required to complete their intake paperwork to receive their psychiatric evaluation.

Psychiatric Evaluation

The first appointment will be a comprehensive psychiatric assessment to diagnose and prescribe medications.

Medication Management

Follow-up visits examine overall progress, health, prescription refills, medication adjustments  and include brief therapy.

Long-Term Goals

Over the course of treatment, we will work with you, your family, and therapists, to help ensure best possible outcomes for your sobriety.

You Don’t Have To Go It Alone

 

Choosing to seek care for a mental health issue is a big step. When trying to find treatment it is best to be as clear and honest as possible. With a little help, it is possible to discover what problem is bothering you and get started on a path toward living a more holistic life.

Some of the benefits of Mental Health Treatment are:

  • Improved quality of life
  • Improved relationships
  • Reduced chance for complications
  • Better performance at school or work
  • Reduced risk of medical issues
  • Encouragement and support
  • Improved ability to problem solve
  • Better conflict resolution & emotional regulation

    Treatment may be right for you if:

    • You are ignoring or avoiding daily responsibilities
    • Feeling sad, hopeless, or depressed
    • Feeling excessively fearful or anxious
    • Rapid or extreme mood swings
    • Significant changes in eating and sleeping habits
    • Consistently having relationship difficulties
    • Relying on drugs or alcohol to cope

    Myths About Mental Health

    People with mental health conditions cannot work.”

    An old but persistent myth is that people with mental health issues cannot hold down a job or be useful members of the workforce. This is entirely false.

    It is true that someone living with a particularly severe mental health condition might be unable to carry out regular work. However, the majority of people with mental health issues can be as productive as individuals without mental health disorders.

    Mental health problems are a sign of weakness.”

    This is no more true than saying that a broken leg is a sign of weakness. Mental health disorders are illnesses, not signs of poor character. Similarly, people with, for instance, depression, cannot “snap out of it” any more than someone with diabetes or psoriasis can immediately recover from their condition.

    If anything, the opposite is true: Fighting a mental health condition takes a great deal of strength.

    “Mental health problems are permanent”

    A mental health diagnosis is not necessarily a “life sentence.” Each individual’s experience with mental illness is different. Some people might experience episodes, between which they return to their version of “normal.” Others may find treatments — medication or talking therapies — that restore balance to their lives.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What causes mental health problems?

    Challenges or problems with your mental health can arise from psychological, biological, and social, issues, as well as life events.

    How do I know if I’m unwell?

    If your beliefs , thoughts , feelings or behaviours have a significant impact on your ability to function in what might be considered a normal or ordinary way, it would be important to seek help.

    What should I do if I’m worried about a friend or relative?

    This may depend on your relationship with them. Gently encouraging someone to seek appropriate support would be helpful to start with.

    Can mental illness run in the family?

    Yes. Genetics play a role in the development of a mental health disorder. First, a person’s genes may make that person more likely to experience mental health symptoms like depression or anxiety or to develop a personality disorder if a parent, sibling, or grandparent also struggled with the disorder.

    Second, being raised in a family in which one or more members is living with an untreated mental health disorder may cause someone to learn those behaviors and be less likely to recognize the need for treatment later.
