Our Licensed Professionals at Mindful Mental Health Group are trained and specialized in conducting Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluations.

In its simplest terms, Psychiatric Diagnostic Evaluations are conducted to diagnose emotional, behavioral, or developmental conditions or disorders, along with building a collaborative relationship and to assist in the development of a treatment plan. Psychiatric problems are problematic to diagnose due to their complexity and noticeably different presentations.

Often, an absolute and definitive diagnosis is not made even in the first 2-3 visits. The first visit, however, is very significant in clarifying the treatment plan. Every provider has their own system for conducting an initial psychiatric evaluation, but we all generally cover the same information.

We meet with individuals for about 40-60 minutes for the first visit, which includes a clinical formulation and our personalized treatment recommendations. As you will see, there is plenty to cover in the first session and the assessment and collection of information is an ongoing process.

On certain occasions, it may take up to 2-3 sessions to complete the evaluation.

Our Licensed Psychiatric Providers at Mindful Mental Health Group provide ongoing management of prescription medications and provide supportive therapy with every session.

Prescribed Psychotropic Medications and Psychotherapy are meant to work together to treat the symptoms of mental disorders. Medications and Psychotherapy cannot cure mental health issues or disorders; however, they can restore the balance and quality of life for individuals.

It is important to note that medications and psychotherapy may perform differently for each individual person. For this reason, a treatment and medication/psychotherapy plan are developed and tailored for each individual.

Treatment results and experiences are dependent on the individual. Some individuals get fast and immediate results from medications and may only need them for a brief period. For example, a person with depression may feel much better after taking a medication and psychotherapy for a few months and may never need it again. On the other hand, some individuals may need to take medication and participate in psychotherapy for a much longer period of time.

Our Licensed Professionals at Renewed Mental Health Group offers Supportive Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy or counseling, and is integrated within each session.

During supportive psychotherapy, you learn about your condition and your moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. We assist you in the process to learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.

Research shows that majority of individuals who receive psychotherapy services experience symptom relief and are better able to function in their lives. Research has shown that about 75 percent of people who enter psychotherapy show some benefit from it.

Supportive Psychotherapy has been shown to improve emotions and behaviors and to be linked with positive changes in the brain and body. The benefits also include fewer sick days, less disability, fewer medical problems, and increased work satisfaction.
