  • Is autism treatable?

    Thank you for your question! Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by differences in the brain that affect communication and behavior. The symptoms of Autism can be treated and children and adults can perform all activities of daily living and may have gifted learning and cognitive abilities while others may require substantial support to perform basic activities. I encourage you to communicate directly with the service provider that diagnosed your daughter to determine a wholistic treatment plan that considers therapy, educational and behavioral interventions to ensure the best possible regimen to set your daughter up for ongoing success, understanding and awareness. Hope that helps! READ MORE

  • Should I go to therapy for depression?

    Good Afternoon! I definitely would encourage therapy to help you treat depression. However, that is your decision to make. There are different types of depression. I would encourage you to determine how well or how difficult it is for you to cope with the current levels of depression you experienced. I want you to know that seeking professional help for depression can be beneficial as it can help you not only learn how to cope in a healthier manner, but better understand what triggers you and learning how to prevent those triggers. Therapy can help get to the root cause of how depression impacts you and having the proper information and education can be helpful in not only alleviating symptoms, but helping your healing process. All the best on your journey!! READ MORE

  • What anxiety medicine can I take as a pilot?

    Thank you for your question! A full psychiatric evaluation would need to be completed before any medication is prescribed. If you are looking for a healthy all natural alternative, herbal supplements can be helpful in reducing feelings of stress and anxiety without being evaluated. Here is a trusted source that may be helpful to you. I encourage you to check out the Nerve Formula. It helps to promote relaxation and contributes to deeper, higher-quality sleep. Please remember that medications and even supplements can take the edge off. Understanding how to manage stressors that are contributing to heightened anxiety is a skill that needs to be learned and that is where therapy can be very beneficial. At any rate, if you are interested in herbal supplements, Just click on this link for more info. All the best READ MORE

  • What does a psychiatrist do for anxiety?

    Good Question! A psychiatrist will normally provide an initial evaluation to determine your diagnosis. Patients normally meet with a psychiatrist if they want medication management. Some psychiatrists offer talk therapy as a treatment as well. I do encourage you to research by determining what are your needs and if you want just medication management, talk therapy, or both. Please be aware that Licensed Therapists in the form of Licensed Psychologists, Licensed Professional Counselors and Licensed Clinical Social Workers can also diagnose and provide treatment as well. However, Licensed Therapists are not prescribers such as psychiatrists. I hope that provides some additional clarity for you. READ MORE

  • What psychotherapy is best for PTSD?

    Thank you for your question! The best psychotherapy for PTSD varies according to an individual's specific case. A trauma-informed/focused therapy is known as being evidence-based to better manage and help heal from PTSD. As the individual is not their diagnosis, so receiving a thorough evaluation that includes an understanding of their background information is important to determine what interventions may be utilized during the therapeutic process. Several other forms of psychotherapy have been effective such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and even Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I recommend meeting with a therapist. Choose to remain open and honest with your background and share your preferences so that the therapist can collaborate with you on helping to meet your needs with healing from PTSD. Take care for now! READ MORE
