MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
Medication evaluation & management provided for teens (15 years and older) and adults with a variety of behavioral health concerns. Specializing in medication-based treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, ADD and ADHD. Individualized care provided while working collaboratively with clients to address their concerns and to develop an effective, manageable, and approachable treatment plan.
Medication management is often used in combination with psychotherapy to treat behavioral health conditions. For many people combined medication and psychotherapy treatment is better than either alone. Healthy lifestyle improvements, such as meditation, good nutrition, regular exercise and adequate sleep, can be equally as important in supporting overall wellness. Effective mental health treatment involves the whole person, and includes physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
“Medication Management requires understanding the whole of the patient, not just the parts. .” ~Dr. Aletta
Tele-sessions are more like office visits than you think. Just like face-to-face visits, we schedule our tele-sessions for 50-60 minutes. For your comfort, we do our best to create a safe space in which we can talk without distraction.
“Good counseling is no longer limited to a brick and mortar office.” ~Dr. Aletta
Therapy can come in different types or modalities. Psycho-educational, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, acceptance and commitment therapy, supportive, solution focused, trauma-informed, individual, relationship, group… A skilled therapist is a human being who genuinely wants to know what it’s like to be you so that they can help you. We struggle with you to figure out where the obstacles are, how to get around, over or through them, to find the healthy, happy you.
If you or a family member needs a therapy contact us.

EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy
Anyone can experience intense trauma. EMDR is a successful form of treatment to help resolve distress. What is EMDR? Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy is a powerful, structural, psychotherapy approach. It includes eight stages of treatment to alleviate the residual pain of trauma, loss and related symptoms. During EMDR therapy, your therapist guides you in identifying a problem or trauma, has you concentrate on it while guiding you to move your eyes rapidly from side to side. EMDR allows you to see the traumatic event or events in a new less distressing way.
What kinds of distress can EMDR treat? Post-traumatic stress, depression, panic attacks, grief, phobias, eating disorders and abuse are some examples.
EMDR therapy helps children and adults of all ages.
~Dr. Aletta
Mental disorders, especially anxiety and depression, impact all aspects of a teen or young adult’s life: appetite, sleep, the ability to focus or concentrate, be creative, and learn new things. Irritability and pushing people away can affect their relationships. Good therapy provides much needed hope.
“Our therapists understand the unique challenges that teens and young adults go through. We take the time meet you where you’re at, and provide whatever support and tools that you need. Therapy is a place where you can be the expert of your own life, even as you’re still growing and changing.”
~ Dr. Aletta
It is our pleasure to work with all types of relationships, straight, cisgender, LGBTQ, siblings, parents and adult children, whatever.

We know that ‘it’s not just about the food’.
