Holistic-centered mental health
that speaks to your needs
Combining Eastern and Western Approaches to Psychiatric Care that Speaks to the Needs of our Patients.
Some of the conditions we treat include:
Depression
Depression can affect your ability to experience joy, function in your day-to-day life, or be present with loved ones. Treatment is critical to improving symptoms and achieving quality of life. At Embodied Wellness Psychiatry, our holistic approach includes both medication management (if appropriate) and therapy. We also offer life & wellness coaching services to further improve symptoms.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a common experience and can even be helpful for motivation. However, when excessive worrying or panic attacks occur and impact your functioning, it is time to seek professional help. We work to identify stressors that impact your anxiety through a comprehensive framework of assessments and therapeutic approaches. Medication management may be supplemented to address symptoms.
PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can occur due to trauma, both experienced or witnessed. It can be debilitating and impact one’s ability to function. At Embodied Wellness, we treat PTSD with a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, including medication management, therapy, life coaches, and more. Patient values and input are always considered in treatment.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is multifactorial and can affect a person’s ability to maintain strong relationships and function in their day to day lives. Treating bipolar disorder often involves medication management and teaching of ways to recognize triggers when available as well as coping strategies through therapy. Our holistic approach considers multiple modalities when it comes to treatment.
Adjustment Disorder
Adjustment disorder can occur after an emotional or stressful event where the ability to cope with such an event can be difficult, impacting one’s functioning. As a result, depression or anxiety can occur and requires professional help to prevent worsening symptoms. At Embodied Wellness Psychiatry, we work with you in uncovering the layers affecting your ability to achieve wellness.
Sexual Health
Although not considered mental health by most, sexual dysfunction can have profound effects on one’s own self esteem, their ability to express themselves intimately with their partner, and their mental health. We employ the help of our life coaches, coupled with medication management and therapeutic support to uncover the underlying issues affecting your health for optimal treatment.
HOW IT WORKS
Initial Evaluation
Our first visit starts with understanding you and the various factors that represent your story. We begin our therapeutic relationship setting boundaries and building trust before we explore your health history and develop an assessment and treatment plan that is comprehensive and fits your needs.
Medication Management
When indicated, medication is usually introduced during our first or second visit to help treat the symptoms of a psychiatric disorder. Our holistic-centered approach considers both traditional and alternative medicinal treatments based on science to offer a more comprehensive and patient-centered approach to mental health care.
Maintenance & Therapy
Once a diagnosis and treatment plan is established, we monitor symptoms as part of our follow-up visits and maintain an appropriate medication dose or treatment plan as necessary. Counseling is highly encouraged for establishing long term coping solutions. Coaching may also be beneficial for some, and we offer life & wellness coaching when appropriate.
