Treatment Options
Therapy and Counseling
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Also known as CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy effectively treats a variety of mental health conditions and aims to help patients understand the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It illustrates how these concepts, when applied, can help patients improve their problem-solving skills, navigate their emotional state and address unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.
Supportive Psychotherapy: Psychotherapy aims to help patients cope with emotional distress and strengthen their psychological acumen. It focuses on emotional support, enhancing self-esteem and helping patients manage current life challenges.
Grief Counseling: This type of talk therapy aims to help patients cope with emotional distress and strengthen their psychological acumen. It focuses on emotional support, enhancing self-esteem and helping patients manage current life challenges.
Trauma Therapy: Also sometimes called trauma-informed or trauma-focused therapy, this treatment is designed to help patients understand, process and heal from traumatic experiences like abuse, neglect and violence.
Advanced Therapies
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): TMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation—most commonly the prefrontal cortex. It is proven to be effective for adults with major depressive disorder (MDD), particularly for those who haven’t responded well to medication or therapy alone.
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT): ECT is commonly used for people with severe depression, bipolar disorder or treatment-resistant psychiatric conditions that haven’t improved with medication or therapy. Using controlled electrical stimulation of the brain while the patient is under general anesthesia, this treatment can “reset” brain chemistry, thought patterns and mood regulation.
Medication
Prescription medication – including antidepressants, mood stabilizers and antipsychotics – play a key role in the treatment of mood disorders, especially when implemented alongside other therapies. These can help regulate brain chemistry and make it easier to function on a day-to-day basis.
