Comprehensive Psychiatric Services
At A Helping Hand Inc., we specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral health challenges. Our comprehensive psychiatric services are designed to support individuals and families in achieving mental wellness through compassionate, evidence-based care.
What is Psychiatry?
Psychiatry focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental health challenges, emotional disorders, and behavioral conditions. Our experienced psychiatric care team—including licensed medical doctors (M.D. or D.O.), psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs), and physician assistants—specializes in evaluating both the physical and psychological aspects of mental health to provide comprehensive, compassionate care.
How does Psychiatry work?
During your initial consultation, you’ll have an open conversation with your psychiatric provider about your symptoms, personal history, and family medical background. This discussion plays a vital role in crafting a personalized mental health care plan that meets your unique needs. Your provider may also suggest physical tests, such as blood work, to identify any underlying health factors affecting your mental well-being.
At our practice, we recognize the deep connection between mental and physical health. That’s why our psychiatric evaluations take a holistic approach, considering your emotional, psychological, and physical well-being to ensure comprehensive care.
How Can Psychiatry Help Me?
Our psychiatric services provide effective diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions in adults, seniors, and children ages 6 and up. Whether you’re experiencing stress, burnout, or require support for conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, our psychiatric clinicians are trained to understand the connection between physical health and mental well-being.
What to Expect from Psychiatric Services at A Helping Hand Inc.
Following a comprehensive assessment, your psychiatric provider will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. This may include lifestyle adjustments, medication management, or psychotherapy. Effective medication management plays a key role in treating many mental health conditions, and our team carefully monitors the effectiveness of prescribed medications to ensure the best outcomes. For your convenience, prescriptions are sent directly to your preferred local pharmacy, with home delivery options available through your insurance’s mail-order service.
While psychiatry focuses on medication prescribed by licensed professionals, psychotherapy complements treatment by helping you process trauma and build coping strategies for stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout. At A Helping Hand Inc., we integrate both services under one roof, creating a seamless, supportive environment for your healing journey.
What If I Don’t Want to Take Medication?
At A Helping Hand Inc., we respect your treatment preferences. If you are hesitant about medication, we will collaborate to develop a comprehensive mental health care plan that aligns with your values and goals. Our providers prioritize open communication, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the benefits, risks, and potential outcomes of medication. Together, we will explore the best path forward for your well-being.
Ongoing Medication Monitoring for Your Peace of Mind
At A Helping Hand Inc., our commitment to your well-being extends beyond prescribing medications. We prioritize continuous support through careful, ongoing monitoring to ensure your treatment remains safe, effective, and tailored to your needs. Our providers work closely with you to assess the effectiveness of your medication, making necessary adjustments to optimize dosing while minimizing potential side effects. Through regular check-ins, we stay connected to your progress, ensuring your treatment evolves with you.
