To a large extent, children’s problems are embedded in overall family context. The child is shaped by family and school, and in turn the family and school is shaped by the child. Therefore it is important to intervene with the child’s problems addressing the family and school systems. Cognitive and behavioral therapy applied to environmental factors effectively manage various aspects of the child’s life. Respondent principles (behavior is acquired through classical conditioning) or respondent principles (behavior is maintained by its consequences) can easily be applied by parents and teachers alike as part of the therapeutic plan. Examples of problems commonly addressed by our child and family specialists include; Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), conduct disorders, child fears, school withdrawal, Anorexia, Bulimia, Autism, Schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, depression, enuresis/encopresis, and tics.
Medication can have a therapeutic effect on mood, sensation, thinking, and behavior. Our psychiatrists prescribe psychotropic medications to treat emotional/behavioral disorders. Our psychiatrists and advanced practice psychologists who are involved in the practice of psychopharmacology provide diagnostic assessments, medication/drug therapy or medication recommendation (psychologists), medication management, and medical consultations with primary care physicians. Our psychiatrists and psychologists assist in the process by recommending clinically desirable treatment effects, certain classes of medications, specific medications, dosages, or other aspects of the treatment regimen. Our psychiatrists and psychologists involved in practicing clinical pharmacology can provide information that may be relevant to a prescribing professional e.g. primary care physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant. As part of the therapeutic process our psychiatrists and psychologists may express concerns about treatment, refer patients for medication consults, direct patients to referral or information sources, or discuss with patients how to address their concerns about medication with the prescriber. Our psychiatrists and psychologists provide fully integrated care within our treatment team so that our patients can come to our office for all of their mental health needs.
In addition to providing unified psychiatric care at our clinic, our psychiatrists can provide the following services:
Couples and relationship therapy focuses on developing the necessary skills for effective, open communication, mutually satisfying sexual intimacy, and enjoyable time for companionship within the relationship.

Is the use of telecommunication and information technologies (e.g. video conferencing) in order to provide clinical health care at a distance. It helps eliminate distance barriers and can improve access to our services. At this time, Tricare is still covering telemedicine visits.
Intensive outpatient services are mostly conducted in a group format. IOP’s provide opportunities for patients to develop communication skills, socialization experiences, help, and support. The IOP groups provide structure and discipline creating normalized environment that models healthy ways of interacting that is safe, supportive and therapeutic. Along with the guidance of the therapist group members can confront other group members providing constructive criticism that is experiential and genuine. IOP’s provide an environment to transmit new information, teach new skills, and create new thinking and behavior. IOP’s are especially effective with alcohol and drug treatment populations.
