Services
Expert diagnosis and treatment plan
We don’t just check boxes or put you IN a box. We listen carefully and balance the art and science of psychiatry. Yes, rating scales and diagnostic criteria are used, but your lived experiences balance these. In addition, our provider is dual-certified and a family nurse practitioner, so you can be sure she won’t miss a thing! Treating the whole person according to that person's goals is the aim.
Addiction treatment
With extensive experience in treating addictions, our provider is ready to help. We treat opioid and alcohol addictions and can help you taper off benzodiazepines. We can also treat cocaine cravings with medications. We gladly offer buprenorphine (Suboxone) maintenance, Sublocade, Brixadi, and Vivitrol injections, and more. You will feel nothing other than respected and embraced at Ananda Psychiatry.
Brief support therapy
Our provider is a family and psychiatric nurse practitioner, not a therapist. She can provide brief supportive psychotherapy along with your medication management appointment. For many patients, this is sufficient. She can also guide you to experienced, licensed therapists should you wish.
Medication management and integrative therapies
We use evidence-based practice to develop a personalized treatment plan, including FDA-approved medications and nutraceuticals or supplements. We often order laboratory testing to check for nutritional deficiencies and other abnormalities that may lead to mental health disorders. Lifestyle modification can often significantly improve mental health, and our provider may offer guidance regarding diet, exercise, sleep, and meditation.
Lifestyle evaluation and recommendations
Lifestyle modification can often significantly improve mental health, and our provider loves discussing diet, exercise, sleep, and meditation. Laboratory studies may be ordered to check for common but often missed deficiencies that can lead to impaired mental health and functioning.
