Conditions Treated
Some of you may be seeking treatment for a diagnosis you have already received. For many others, you may be struggling with frightening thoughts, body sensations, behavior changes, or mood changes that don't fit a specific diagnosis. You may have questions about what is causing these symptoms. Many people wonder if they are the only one having these experiences. Not everyone meets formal criteria for a mental health diagnosis, and we feel the emphasis should be on understanding any symptoms you are having and discovering if relief is possible. Your initial evaluation will include a thorough diagnostic assessment, and we will discuss potential treatments for your most troubling symptoms.
