Telepsychiatry
We provide psychiatric evaluations, diagnose, prescribe, and manage psychiatric medications. Our services include diagnostic and medication management of ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Perinatal Mood Disorders, Postpartum Depression, and more across the lifespan. Making the decision to seek change is courageous. We believe in working with each person to create a personalized and integrated plan.
Psychiatric Evaluations
Our 60-minute evaluations focus on your symptoms and work toward a diagnosis. We use this time to review your current presentations as well as your medication, medical, family, and psychiatric history. We consider whether medication management would be appropriate for you and come up with a plan together to help you move in a new direction. Each treatment plan is individualized and catered to each patient.
*Please note: Many people require more than one appointment to appropriately diagnose and develop a plan of care.
Medication Management
These are 20-30 minute appointments that are used to follow up with someone thinking of or is already on an existing regimen of psychiatric medication. Sometimes changes or adjustments are made to better manage your symptoms. We also integrate therapy into our appointments using blended techniques customized to each client experience.
ADHD Assessments
Evaluation of adults presenting with ADHD symptoms typically requires at least two visits. As well as allowing for a thorough evaluation, two visits allow the clinician to assess motivation for follow up, persistence of symptoms and dysfunction, and likelihood for alternative diagnoses. If symptoms are clinically appropriate, we will make referrals to confirm diagnosis. Through the use of therapy, lifestyle changes, and medication management when warranted, we will work to attain an optimal level of functioning.
Reproductive Psychiatry
We provide evaluation and treatment of psychiatric disorders associated with female reproductive function, including premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), pregnancy-associated mood disturbance, postpartum depression, and peri- and post-menopausal depression. Our services include: diagnostic assessment of mental health conditions, preconception planning, medication consultation and management, and family education and support. Online video visits can be especially useful during the postpartum period, when it may be difficult to find the time to see your doctor in person.
DEPRESSION TREATMENT
At Moving In New Directions, we know how debilitating depression can be for you. Depression can interfere with your personal, social, and work life negatively. We create treatment plans that offer a holistic approach to the management of your symptoms. We work together to help you overcome the challenges that you may be facing. Our goal is to help you reach your fullest potential and to live a life full of meaning.
ANXIETY TREATMENT
Anxiety makes it difficult for us to live our lives and carry out the activities of daily living. Finding ways to approach these symptoms involves a holistic approach while incorporating evidence-based treatment and different therapy modalities. We will work together to create effective coping mechanisms to help you navigate the stressors of life.
BIPOLAR DISORDER TREATMENT
Living with Bipolar Disorder can be difficult for you and the people around you. Experiencing emotional instability can leave you feeling out of balance and isolated. At Moving In New Directions we are committed to helping you figure out your diagnosis and teaching you about how to overcome it. We promise to provide you with the tools and education needed to take back control of your life.
LGBTQ2+ COMMUNITY
At Moving In New Directions, we understand the dynamic and complex needs of this community. Providing care that is inclusive is important in creating a safe space for patients. Working with providers who have experience with the challenges that are often faced by this community allows patients to feel safe. You will always be heard and have a voice with us. Let us help you move in a new direction and create the life you deserve.
