Comprehensive Psychiatric Services

What is Psychiatry?

Psychiatry is dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental health challenges, emotional disturbances, and behavioral issues. Our skilled psychiatric care providers—including licensed medical doctors (M.D. or D.O.), psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNP), and physician assistants—are expertly trained to assess both the physical and psychological aspects of mental health conditions.

How does Psychiatry work?

In your initial consultation, you will have an open discussion about your symptoms, personal history, and family medical history with your psychiatric provider. This dialogue is crucial in developing a comprehensive mental health care plan tailored to your unique needs. Your provider may recommend physical tests, such as blood work, to identify any underlying health issues that may be impacting your mental state.

At our practice, we understand that mental and physical health are deeply intertwined. That’s why our psychiatric evaluations consider all aspects of your wellbeing—encompassing your emotional, psychological, and physical health.

What to Expect from Psychiatric Services at Elite DNA Behavioral Health

After your thorough assessment, your psychiatric provider will create a personalized treatment plan that may include a combination of lifestyle changes, medication, or psychotherapy. Effective medication management is crucial for treating many mental health conditions, and our team will diligently monitor the effectiveness of your prescribed medications. We ensure your prescriptions are conveniently sent to your preferred local pharmacy, with options for home delivery through your insurance’s mail-order service.

While psychiatry focuses on medication prescribed by licensed professionals, psychotherapy complements this by helping you process trauma and develop coping strategies for stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression. At Elite DNA Behavioral Health, we seamlessly integrate both services under one roof, which provides for a cohesive and supportive environment for your healing journey.
