Clinical Practice Guidelines
Our approach to providing you with proper care is based on the following principles:
- Quality
- Effectiveness
- Coordination between services
- Your satisfaction
At our clinic, you will be cared for by a medical doctor (MD), a psychiatric nurse practitioner (NP), a psychologist (PhD or PsyD), a counselor, or a clinical social worker.
Psychiatrists (MD) and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (NP)
Our MDs and NPs are trained to consider the psychological implications of various medical conditions, as well as the psychological impact of the medications prescribed to treat these conditions. They are board-certified clinicians able to prescribe medications, including ADHD medications, antidepressants, anti-anxiety (anxiolytic) medications, mood stabilizers, antipsychotic medications, and other medications when safe and indicated.
Psychologists (PhD or PsyD), Counselors, and Social Workers
A clinical psychologist generally holds a doctoral degree in psychology from an accredited university or professional school. A psychologist is trained to understand behavior and to help people recognize and change patterns in their behavior that have become counterproductive for them. A psychologist can help a client become “unstuck” from these self-defeating patterns and feel free to make healthier choices, both in personal relationships and at work. Psychologists often work with individuals experiencing difficulties ranging from relationship problems, general anxiety, panic attacks, and depression to OCD, ADHD, PTSD, eating disorders, and bipolar disorder.
A clinical social worker is a master's-level clinician who is trained to provide counseling to individuals and families and may have additional training in a mental health specialty area or treatment modality. Social workers often have a broad understanding of how health care systems connect and can help individuals access the care they need from public institutions.
