What Sets Psych Choices Apart from the Other Practices?
The Psych Choices vision is a culmination of 3 core values: "Happiness by Choice, Not by Chance", "End the Stigma" and "Holistic Approaches".
"Happiness by Choice, Not by Chance" is our slogan where we urge our patients to take ownership in their treatment and learn that change usually takes more than just talk therapy. Our providers are all trained in evidence based practices that extend a wide variety of behavioral techniques individuals can implement in their everyday lives.
"End the Stigma" is a social movement that Psych Choices stands behind and maintains that mental health services should be viewed no differently than physical health check-ups. Evidence shows that often undiagnosed or untreated mental health challenges has led to poor physical health habits and high susceptibility to medical sickness. The concept is if we take care of our minds, we will take care of our bodies.
"Holistic Approaches" is a simple way of saying that Psych Choices does not only support the medication management model that aims to adjust brain chemistry. Although all our medication providers spend more time with patients than the traditional psychiatry model, we look to extend services far beyond that by offering yoga classes, group therapy options, Mind/body techniques, EMDR, and educational classes will soon be provided too with more to come.
At Psych Choices, we offer an array of alternatives that we hope can reach the community in various ways that may lessen the stigma often associated with attending a mental health practice.
We accept most health insurance plans and are a preferred provider. For those without insurance that we can accept, we offer a sliding fee scale.
