Core Services in Adult Psychiatry

Our adult psychiatry services are designed to offer multi-faceted support, ensuring every client receives tailored, expert care:

Psychiatric Evaluations

Thorough diagnostic evaluations are conducted to accurately diagnose conditions and understand the client's unique needs, challenges, and strengths. This involves a detailed clinical assessment to inform individualized treatment planning.

Medication Management

When clinically appropriate, medication is carefully prescribed and monitored. Our psychiatrists provide ongoing evaluation of medication effectiveness and side effects, making adjustments as necessary. This service is always paired with therapeutic interventions.

Integration with Therapy Services

Our psychiatrists work seamlessly with Ethos Wellness therapists to ensure that psychiatric care is integrated with individual, group, or family therapy. This collaborative model provides a cohesive and comprehensive treatment experience.

Psychoeducation

We provide clear, digestible information about mental health conditions, brain functioning, treatment options, and the role of medication. This empowers clients with knowledge, enhancing their understanding and fostering active participation in their recovery journey.

Collaborative Care

We value close coordination with other healthcare providers, including primary care physicians and specialists, to ensure a holistic approach to your well-being.

Our Approach: Collaborative Psychiatric Care

Our philosophy recognizes that effective adult psychiatric care extends beyond medication management. It encompasses a holistic understanding of the individual, considering their unique life circumstances, emotional landscape, and personal goals. Through early diagnosis and intervention, we aim to reduce the long-term impact of psychiatric conditions and foster sustainable wellness. Our psychiatry services involve detailed assessments, accurate diagnoses, and integrated treatment plans that combine therapy, medication management (when appropriate), and robust support systems.

Our psychiatrists judiciously prescribe and monitor medication only when clinically necessary, and this is always paired with ongoing therapy, psychoeducation, and skill development to foster sustainable healing. This integrated approach ensures that medication is a thoughtful tool within a broader therapeutic framework, supporting the whole person.
