Outpatient Psychiatric Services
SamaraCare offers in-person and virtual outpatient psychiatric services. This includes those who may have medical conditions that affect their psychological well-being. Our psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner specialize in working with people who have mild to moderate difficulty functioning at home, school or work.
Our psychiatrists, who are medical doctors, and our psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, are all experts at treating the whole person, inclusive of the psychological, physical, and social dimensions of mental health along with the links between them. In addition to their sensitivity to the biological, psychological and social aspects of mental health, our psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, are also sensitive to the spiritual components of health. They work closely with our counselors to ensure our clients receive everything they need to maintain and improve their mental health, including medical treatment.
Psychiatric Services
Sessions are typically one to two hours for the initial visit and shorter for subsequent visits. Our psychiatrists will review your symptoms with you. You’ll be asked about your psychiatric and social history, including any past treatments or hospitalizations, so they can create a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan. From there, they will help you with medication management which may be used in conjunction with counseling. The goal is always to use the right combination of counseling and medication to allow you to live a full and satisfying life.
Medication Management
Today, we understand that many mental health concerns stem from biological, psychological, social and spiritual contributors. The intricate connections between the mind and body can create a feedback system that affects the whole person in profound ways.
As a result, we know how to use medications in combination with psychotherapy to treat the symptoms of mental health issues very successfully.
Psychiatric Medications
Some of the most used classes of prescription psychiatric medications include:
- Antidepressants
- Anti-anxiety medications
- Antipsychotics
- Mood stabilizers
- Stimulants
We carefully tailor medication treatment plans to ensure they are the most effective option for supporting your unique path to optimal mental health and well-being.
Telehealth Options
In-Person and Virtual Counseling
We offer both in-person and/or virtual counseling sessions. Both are HIPAA-compliant. Virtual (on-line) therapy consists of meeting with your therapist via a video conferencing platform on your computer, tablet or phone. Virtual counseling (teletherapy) is a relatively new way to receive care. If you’re thinking about it, here are some benefits to consider:
- Convenience in meeting with a therapist from the comfort of your own home
- No time spent traveling to appointments
- Access to care providers with specialized expertise regardless of their geographic location
Many insurance companies now cover virtual therapy. Always check with your insurance provider regarding your coverage for mental health services.
