Services
A psychiatrist has over 17,000 hours of advanced training in medicine and mental health care. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can treat all aspects of mental health issues.
The mental health space has many skilled professionals. Psychiatrists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners can prescribe medication. In Texas and many states, psychiatrists must supervise physician assistants and nurse practitioners. The therapy side includes psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and professional counselors among others. Psychiatrists are trained in the most advanced forms of therapy.
If you have a trusted therapist, we can focus on your medication and wellness. We also support their work with a therapy-informed approach in our visits. If you are looking for care from one source, we can also have that discussion.
It is a treatment for many mental health challenges today. These include trauma, emotional pain, poor relationships, or mental illness among others.
Psychotherapy is a structured and collaborative journey to explore the roots of a person’s struggle. Those roots may be evident. They may also be deep or hidden. We support and partner with a person on their path to self-understanding. We nurture their hope for tolerable change. We respect who they are and what they want.
You may find medication to be partly effective, or not effective at all. Maybe it gives you only temporary relief. Perhaps you want to reduce your use of medication over time. In all these cases, psychotherapy offers the chance to heal. It is truly rewarding to see people improve their quality of life through this process.
I have experience with many types of therapy. My priority is to identify and leverage your strengths. You are the most important factor in your success.
