Psychotherapy

Individuals experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, or other problems are often referred by their physicians for psychotherapy or they may choose to come to therapy on their own. Individual psychotherapy sessions usually occur weekly or biweekly over a brief or extended period of time, depending upon individual goals and the severity of symptoms.

Common Reasons for Seeking Therapy

· Problems coping/adjusting to stress
· Depression, anxiety, panic disorders
· Obsessive-compulsive disorders
· Relationship problems

Psychological Evaluations

Psychological evaluations identify and/or clarify the severity of symptoms that may suggest the potential benefits of medication or individual psychotherapy and/or alert healthcare professionals to the presence of life-threatening thoughts or behaviors. Evaluations involve a diagnostic interview, and may also include tests of mood and personality functioning.
