What is a Psychiatric Evaluation?

A psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive assessment designed to understand an individual’s mental health concerns, medical history, and overall well-being. During this process, a licensed psychiatric provider conducts an in-depth discussion about symptoms, emotions, behaviors, and any factors affecting mental health, such as stress, trauma, or lifestyle habits. The evaluation may also include a review of past treatments, family history, and screening tools to diagnose conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, or mood disorders. This assessment serves as the foundation for developing a personalized treatment plan tailored to the individual's unique needs, ensuring the best possible approach to their mental wellness.

What is Medication Management?

Medication management is a structured approach to prescribing, monitoring, and adjusting psychiatric medications to ensure their effectiveness and safety. At Eunoia Psychiatric Wellness, we take a collaborative, evidence-based approach to prescribing medications for conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mental health disorders. This service includes regular follow-ups to assess how the medication is working, adjust dosages if needed, and address any side effects or concerns. The goal is to help patients achieve stability and symptom relief while ensuring that medications are used safely and effectively as part of a comprehensive mental health treatment plan.

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps people heal from the emotional distress associated with traumatic experiences and difficult memories. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as guided eye movements) to help the brain reprocess memories so they no longer feel as overwhelming or disruptive. Research has shown EMDR to be highly effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other trauma-related conditions, allowing individuals to move forward with resilience and peace.
