Our Approach

Our psychiatric specialists and mental health therapists assess, diagnose, and treat psychiatric conditions. We serve older adults (aged 60 and over).

How we work

• Patients are a central part of the care team and work with our specialists to develop a care plan that will best meet the patient’s needs.
• Patient care plans may include medication management, individual therapy, and group treatment.
• Our goal is to help patients stabilize and return to their primary care team for ongoing prescribing.
• Our innovative program is patient-centered and uses the Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) model of care.

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)

Endorsed by the American Psychiatric Association as a safe treatment for certain mental illnesses, ECT uses electrical stimulation in the brain to alter chemistry and reduce harmful symptoms caused by various conditions. Learn more about ECT.
