Whether individual, couples, or group, psychotherapy provides the individual or family an opportunity to explore problems, visualize desired goals, and work on changes in ways of thinking, reacting, and behaving that will bring about the resolution of problems and allow comfort, growth, and meaningfulness in life.
In many cases, a person, couple, or family can obtain the help needed from a therapist in just a few visits; in other cases, additional sessions are required.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in mental health, including substance use disorders. Psychiatrists are qualified to assess both the mental and physical aspects of psychological problems. Because they are physicians, psychiatrists can order or perform a full range of medical laboratory and psychological tests which, combined with discussions with patients, help provide a picture of a patient’s physical and mental state.
Northern Pines provides psychiatric services to the individuals we serve, both children and adults. Our trained medical staff is there to assist clients in the medication management of their mental health symptoms to promote and enhance the individual’s quality of life and to improve daily living.
