ADHD Testing
A psychoeducational evaluation may help ask for and receive school or work-based accommodations. Results and recommendations may help parents and family members more effectively support children with ADHD or other symptoms.
A psychoeducational evaluation identifies and addresses underlying factors contributing to school, work, or daily life difficulties. By assessing issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, vision and hearing difficulties, learning disabilities, and problems with executive functioning, the evaluation provides a more holistic perspective on the individual's needs.
While medication may be an essential part of the treatment, a psychoeducational evaluation acknowledges that it is not always the only solution and may even be unnecessary in some cases. By recognizing the various components that can impact attention problems, the evaluation helps tailor interventions accordingly. For instance, cognitive behavioral treatment can be beneficial for managing depression, anxiety, and sleep issues, while academic interventions specifically target learning difficulties.
By conducting a thorough psychoeducational evaluation, individuals can receive appropriate, personalized interventions that address their unique challenges. This approach recognizes the importance of encompassing various factors that may contribute to attention problems and ensures a more comprehensive and effective treatment plan.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a normal human emotion that everyone experiences. Anxiety disorders, however, are different. For people with anxiety disorders, worry and fear are constant and overwhelming and can interfere with the ability to lead a normal life. Our anxiety counseling can help.
OCD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder of the brain and behavior. OCD involves both obsessions and compulsions which cause people to have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations, or behaviors that make them feel driven to do something. We can help with intensive OCD treatment.
Depression (Including Teenage Depression)
Most people have felt sad or depressed at times. Feeling depressed can be a normal reaction, but when feeling helpless, hopeless, and worthless — lasting for many days to weeks and keeping you from functioning normally — your depression may be something more than sadness.
PTSD
Are You Suffering from Trauma-Induced Symptoms? Trauma can affect your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Screening is vital in identifying symptoms early, allowing you to explore treatment options tailored to your needs. If you suspect that you may have PTSD, there are several treatment options. A self-screening is available from the National Center for PTSD from this link, and it is open to everyone, whether you are a civilian or a veteran. If you wish to follow up with us, please email us at [email protected]. We can provide evaluation and treatment or refer you to other providers.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a cutting-edge and evidence-based intervention that uses a combination of talk-therapy and medicine to achieve results which may be difficult to achieve using only medicine or talk therapy alone.
KAP has shown promise as treatment for depression, PTSD, and anxiety. The use of ketamine in this context is off-label, and KAP has not yet been approved by the FDA.
KAP is intensive. Clients generally have one medicine session and one integration session each week for at least four weeks. It requires both medical screening, mental health screenings, preparatory sessions, and follow-up integration sessions. If you'd like to talk to a therapist to see if KAP is right for you please reach out to [email protected] or 256-883-3231.
