THERAPY
Individual therapy can take various forms - cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, psycho-dynamic therapy, or a combination of these - but at the center of each is the caring relationship between a mental health professional and their patient. Our team consists of several Licensed Clinical Social Workers and Licensed Professional Counselors ready to meet the unique needs of every individual. Our therapists meet with our prescribers for a cohesive treatment experience. Family therapy and couples counseling is available upon request. Before calling to schedule, we recommend taking a look at our team to see who would be the best fit for you.

Genetic Testing
Genomind is genetic testing that helps healthcare providers take a personalized approach to prescribing medicine for patients. Because genes influence the way a person’s body responds to specific medications, they may not work the same for everyone. Using DNA gathered with a simple cheek swab it analyzes a patient’s genes and provides individualized information to help healthcare providers select medications that better match their patient’s genes.
Medicinal Marijuana Evaluations
Cannabinoid receptors are located in various places throughout the body and brain and both mental and physical symptoms can be altered with medical marijuana treatment. Studies have shown that medical marijuana can help treat PTSD symptoms in even treatment-resistant cases. Other symptoms correlated with psychiatric diagnoses also can be helped by the use of medical marijuana. Please call for more information or to schedule an evaluation with our medical marijuana prescriber, Dr. Zaidi.
