Conditions We Treat
Addiction
We offer addiction and substance abuse psychiatric care, including alcohol, marijuana, stimulant, and opiate addiction. Strategies offered include buprenorphine, vivitrol, naltrexone, acamprosate, and treatment for co-occurring mental health concerns. We offer coordinated care with addiction therapists and outside programs.
ADHD
ADHD affects roughly 5% of people in the United States. Challenges with attention, distractability, impulsivity, task completion, procrastination, emotional dysregulation and hyperactivity interfere with multiple aspects of life on a persistent basis.
Anxiety
Anxiety isn't something you can just "will away." It's a treatable condition involving real changes in brain chemistry and nervous system function. Everyone tells you to"just relax" or “stop worrying so much.” If only it were that simple. This isn’t weakness; this is anxiety, a real medical condition affecting 40 million adults.
Bipolar I/II
Bipolar disorder is a medical condition involving discrete periods of depression and periods of elevated, energized, or irritable mood (hypomania or mania.) It may be misunderstood as mood swings or a personality characteristic.
Insomnia
Insomnia-the ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or sleep at the appropriate time–thwarts quality of life. Insomnia can present due to medical or mental health conditions, and rarely is a stand-alone diagnosis. Therefore, identifying the underlying cause of insomnia, rather than “throwing pills” at the symptoms, is both critical and fundamental to the effective short and long-term treatment of sleep concerns.
MDD
Depression is a treatable medical condition affecting 21 million Americans. Treatment includes medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes—80-90% of patients improve.
Medical Comorbidity
Primary medical problems can cause or impact mental health–from the presentation of symptoms to the available medicine options. Our clinic is founded and supported by a quadruple board-certified physician with a robust background in internal medicine.
OCD
Is more than “being neat” or “liking things a certain way.” OCD involves intrusive unwanted thoughts, images or urges (obsessions), and/or repetitive behaviors or mental rituals performed to reduce distress or to prevent a feared outcome (compulsions.)
PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is not a weakness or “overreacting.” It’s a trauma-related condition that can develop from experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event…or by experiencing ongoing trauma. Trauma affects how the brain and body respond to stress. When these changes are persistent, PTSD may result.
Social Anxiety/Performance Anxiety
Social anxiety is a persistent fear of being watched, scrutinized, judged or embarrassed in social situations. It goes far beyond normal shyness. You may fear speaking in public, eating in front of people, meeting new people, or situations where you might be scrutinized.
