Treatment Approach
To fully understand the underlying cause of your symptoms, I will explore aspects of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual life and beliefs. Information obtained from the assessments and evaluations will guide the clinician in the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of mental illness. Bringing up painful experiences may initially cause an increase in symptoms. However, working through these feelings with a trained professional will help reprocess past experiences and retrain the brain in how to react to trauma in a more constructive way in the future, eventually decreasing symptoms. Resources such as, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the American Psychiatric Association, Stahl’s Essential Psychopharmacology Manual, foundational theories of psychology, current research, and evidence-based practice will be used when formulating a diagnosis and treatment plan.
Sacred Space Psychiatric Nursing, Inc. uses a comprehensive treatment approach by utilizing integrative (looking at the whole person, root causes, nutrition, health) and conventional (focuses on anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, medication, psychotherapy) treatment modalities to achieve the patient’s optimal health and wellbeing. In certain circumstances collaborative care may be necessary. Collaborative care may include the clinician speaking with other healthcare providers such as therapists, primary care providers, or specialists to coordinate the best treatment plan for you. We believe that treatment is more successful when the clinician and patient work together to create a regimen that is achievable and tailored to one’s specific needs. Together we will create a customized treatment plan that will improve your quality of life, create better symptom control, and enhance your overall well-being. I look forward to working alongside you in your journey to mental, physical, and spiritual wellness.
