Our Services
Medication
Management
Thoughtful, evidence based medication management can be life changing. We work closely with clients to understand their treatment goals, and then present options, treatment rationales and education to help guide clients in making decisions that feel right for them. We will be clear about symptoms that medications can treat and symptoms that need to be addressed by other means.
Please note that benzodiazepines have a very small place in our treatment algorithms and will only be prescribed in restricted amounts on a time limited basis. They will not be prescribed for conditions in which the evidence does not support their use.
Psychotherapeutic
Interventions
We do not offer stand-alone therapy at this time but combine psychotherapeutic interventions within medication management appointments.
There are many ways to do psychotherapy. All modalities share the goal of facilitating insight in order to accept and/or change our lives as they are lived today. Our practice focuses on present day, solution-focused therapies. The therapy that we facilitate meets people where they are, and moves them towards where they want to go. Our training is in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.
Lifestyle
Coaching
The evidence base in medicine is moving incredibly fast, and, often it feels that what we were told to do a few years ago is different from what we are being told to do today.
However, the age old importance of living a well-balanced life is now supported by the research on the role of inflammation in many mental health disorders. Mental health is built from the ground up, on a foundation of good sleep, good nutrition, and supportive relationships. In addition, we must minimize the stresses that drag us down whenever possible.
Nurses look at the whole person, and evaluate them from a strengths based perspective. We then build upon those strengths, to facilitate lifestyle changes that help clients make movement towards their goals.
Medication Assisted Treatment
of Substance Use Disorders
We are licensed to provide buprenorphine assisted treatment for Opioid Use Disorder within a comprehensive substance use recovery program. It is not the goal to just write scripts and send clients on their way every month. Recovery means doing work, even when we don’t want to. Clients will be encouraged to engage with community supports that meet their preferences for group and individual sessions while they are in early recovery and as recovery is solidified, these supports can be dialed back.
We can also prescribe naltrexone and Vivitrol for Opioid Use Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder. We are very supportive of harm reduction approaches to addressing substance use disorders versus abstinence only methods being mindful that for some clients, not using really is the best option for their circumstance.
