Psychiatric Medication Management
This mode of treatment only involves a biological approach and uses evidence-based pharmacological approaches to treat a variety of psychiatric conditions. It usually begins with an hour-long initial evaluation (or longer depending on your preference, or if you are seeking a second opinion) and is continued with 30-minute or 15-minute appointments (depending on the number of conditions, the degree of stability and other factors) focusing on medication management. Lifestyle modification and other natural remedies (based on available safety information) may also be considered.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a type of psychotherapy that relies on psychoanalytically informed techniques. After your initial evaluation, if there is an interest and depending on suitability, this approach can be considered either alone or in conjunction with medication management. The duration of each session is approximately 50 minutes, and 1-hour time slots are reserved at least on a weekly basis.
