Medication Management
Often medication treatment is necessary when one’s concerns are not improving with the passage of time or is not responding optimally to therapy alone. And in today’s fast paced lifestyles one may not have the ability to dedicated to weekly therapy sessions and may need to rely more on a medication form of treatment. You are not alone. And although studies find the best outcomes with combined therapy and medication treatment it is possible to achieve great improvements with medication alone. When medication treatment is necessary our providers take a conservative approach and aim to use the minimum amount of medication to achieve a desired effect. Our providers will carefully evaluate and discuss your current treatment needs and together devise the best course of treatment to help alleviate your symptoms and allow you to be the best version of yourself.
Therapy
Our highly trained and experienced team includes clinicians from a variety of clinical and cultural backgrounds that are extremely dedicated to helping patients achieve their goals in relationships, careers, and personal growth. Therapy sessions are designed to assist individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, marital and family discord, addiction, stress management, PTSD/trauma, eating disorders, Bipolar Disorders, obsessive-compulsive stress disorders (OCD) and anger management. Our group of psychologists and therapists are specialized and trained in multiple treatment modalities including short term solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, psychodynamic/psychoanalytic therapy, crisis intervention, dialectical behavior therapy, and trauma focused therapy. Therapy sessions can be structured or open-ended and are customized to an individual’s needs. In a structured session the therapy is focused on a particular problem area and one will be guided with skills and exercises to achieve a clear treatment goal. An open-ended session allows for patients to explore multiple issues in a way to facilitate awareness and personal growth. Therapy aims to provide guidance, foster insight, and help enhance and maintain physical and mental health. Our clinical therapists work with individuals, groups, couple’s and families.

Psychological Testing
A neuropsychological/psychological evaluation involves a comprehensive battery of standardized paper- and-pencil and or computer tests that assess attention, concentration, memory, language, reasoning, and learning strengths and weaknesses. The tests also include measures of intellectual functioning and personality as well as instruments to assess mood, behavior and stress levels. These tests provide a thorough cognitive and psychological profile that includes objective information about the patient’s functioning in terms of specific issues that may benefit from intervention.

SPRAVATO (esketamine) Treatment Center
Spravato is a prescription medication, used along with an antidepressant taken by mouth, for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) in adults. On March 5, 2019 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Spravato for the treatment of depression that has not responded adequately to two medication trials. Spravato is the first truly new kind of depression drug since Prozac hit the market in 1988. Spravato is a nasal spray that can relieve depression in hours instead of weeks. Given some of the potential side effect risks patients may only seek treatment in an approved Spravato treatment center. We are the first approved treatment center in the south bay communities. Please call to arrange a consultation to review if this treatment is right for you.
