Did you know that our Adult Behavioral and Mental Health services include a team of licensed psychiatric prescribers and nurses who administer and monitor medication for the purpose of alleviating or stabilizing symptoms for certain conditions? Although medication is not always necessary, treatment recommendations can include medication, counseling/psychotherapy, or a combination of both. Our prescribers specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions to help you achieve and maintain mental wellness.
