Professional Counseling & Therapy
Professional counseling is often quite helpful for those struggling with mental health issues. Most patients enjoy meaningful therapeutic benefits from counseling sessions. Many such patients go on to lead fulfilling and productive lives. Some patients continue to meet with professional counselors across posterity. Others eventually move on from these mental health counseling sessions after they have served their purpose. While we customize the treatment for each patient, here are some basics on the process and benefits of each therapy type.
Psychiatric Evaluations
Our initial patient assessment commences with a psychiatric evaluation. This process involves collecting information about the person in need of counseling. The aim of the psychiatric evaluation is to make a diagnosis, formulate the patient’s problems and plan his or her treatment. This assessment includes information ranging from the patient’s personal life to his or her social interactions, data derived from psychological tests and insights gleaned from our direct observations.
In some instances, the psychiatric evaluation is a multi-disciplinary process that includes:
Psychologists
Nurses
Social Workers
Licensed Professional Counselors
The evaluation is typically performed in a hospital, out-patient environment or at the patient’s home.
