Psychiatric evaluation is a process through which a mental health professional evaluates a patient's psychological, emotional, and behavioral well-being through open dialogue and the use of inventories, assessments, and tests. The face-to-face interview helps to gain a rich understanding of emotions, behaviors, thoughts, coping strategies for dealing with life’s challenges, and personal strengths. This comprehensive picture helps the clinician determine a diagnosis and suggest a course of treatment.
Individual therapy is a process through which the patient works with the clinician one-on-one in a safe, caring, and confidential environment—to explore their feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change.
Child psychotherapy is the creation of a therapeutic relationship that is almost solely focused on the emotional and social well-being of the child. It differs from adult therapy in several important ways, especially that the focus on treatment is very forward-oriented. Language in child therapy may be largely non-verbal during activities such as unstructured play and therapeutic games. Parents should expect goals such as building self-esteem, improving communication skills, building a stronger emotional repertoire, and improving emotional vocabulary.
Medication management is the level of outpatient treatment where the sole service rendered by a qualified prescriber is the evaluation of the individual’s need for psychotropic medications, provision of a prescription, and ongoing medical monitoring of those medications.
Couples and marital treatment is focused on identifying specific areas of conflict and aspects of their relationship they would like to change and then developing a plan of action to improve each individual’s satisfaction and contentment. Expect to explore how your individual backgrounds, beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors may be impacting the relationship in both positive and negative ways. Immediate and pressing problems may be addressed while developing strategies for protecting and enhancing the long-term health and happiness of your relationship.
Treatment for substance use disorders focuses on motivating the individual to stop using drugs and alcohol and maintain abstinence. The components of therapy include identifying the problem, establishing motivation for change, beginning changes of behavior, repairing damaged relationships with family and friends, building new relationships with people who do not use alcohol or drugs, and creating a recovery lifestyle. Relapse prevention training teaches people how to identify their relapse triggers, how to cope with cravings, how to develop plans for handling stressful situations, and what to do if they relapse.
A legal process enabling couples who have decided to separate or end their marriage to work with their lawyers and, on occasion, other family professionals in order to avoid the uncertain outcome of court and to achieve a settlement that best meets the specific needs of both parties and their children without the underlying threat of litigation. The process allows parties to have a fair settlement. The Licensed Mental Health Professional is the neutral party that facilitates the collaborative process.
A professional whose opinion by virtue of education, training, certification, skills, or experience, is accepted by the judge as an expert. The judge may consider the witness's specialized opinion about evidence or about facts before the court within the expert's area of expertise, referred to as an "expert opinion".
