Initial appointments include discussion with your provider about current reason for visit, psychiatric history, physical health, family history, social history and more. An assessment and evaluation will be completed by the provider and discussed at the end of the appointment.

Follow up appointments range in time from 30-60 minutes depending on the client and plan of care. Longer appointments are reserved for EMDR.

EMDR is offered in-person only.

Telepsychiatry can be done for medication management from almost anywhere in the state of Georgia with the exception of those prescribed controlled medications.

Assessment and evaluation of the client's symptoms and diagnoses are ongoing at each appointment.

We specialize in treatment of:

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Bipolar and other mood disorders

• Adjustment Disorder

• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Other psychiatric diagnoses are treated and managed by our provider as well.

Often there can be medications prescribed to treat and manage specific psychiatric diagnoses or symptoms. Not every medication is a good fit for a client and some times it may take trying a few different ones to find the best suited medication for an individual.

"EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. Ongoing research supports positive clinical outcomes, showing EMDR therapy as a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences. EMDR therapy has even been superior to Prozac in trauma treatment. " (www.EMDRIA.org/about-emdr-therapy/)
