Arthritis
Medical Weight Loss
The hypnotic induction is simply a way to focus your attention and concentration so you will go into that natural, normal hypnotic state. Once in the state of hypnosis, suggestions to help you can be given. The list of ways hypnosis has been used to help children, adolescents and adults is practically endless, and includes: weight loss, smoking cessation, self-confidence building, self-esteem enhancement, improved academic performance, improved test taking ability, pain management, elimination of anxiety, fear and phobias, stress management, and sleep difficulties. Hypnotherapy is often used in conjunction with other types of psychotherapy.
Nutritional Counseling
Similar to other mental disorders, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression, patients with eating disorders have little control over their symptoms, and suffer from often serious and sometimes life-threatening illnesses that require medical and psychiatric attention. Because of their complexity, eating disorders call for a comprehensive treatment plan involving medical care and monitoring, psychotherapy, nutritional counseling, and medication management. Studies are investigating the causes of eating disorders and effectiveness of treatments.
Primary Care
The therapist takes a comprehensive approach by listening and responding to concerns, helping families and, when appropriate, working with a patient’s primary care doctor and other health professionals to develop effective approaches to treatment.
Smoking Cessation
Ear Infections
The fact is that many things can produce these behaviors. Anything from chronic fear to mild seizures can make a child seem overactive, quarrelsome, impulsive, or inattentive. For example, a formerly cooperative child who becomes overactive and easily distracted after a parent's death is dealing with an emotional problem, not ADHD. A chronic middle ear infection can also make a child seem distracted and uncooperative; so can living with family members who are physically abusive or addicted to drugs or alcohol. Can you imagine a child trying to focus on a math lesson when his or her safety and well-being are in danger each day? Such children are showing the effects of other problems, not ADHD.
Sleep Disorders
Psychotherapy and, in some cases, medication, can be helpful in alleviating the many difficulties which are evident in both the victim and the abuser. Many symptoms begin to appear in the victim such as withdrawal, anxiety, depression, or even suicidal thoughts. Some victims may even experience sleep disorders, compulsions, panic attacks, obsessions, phobias, or self-harming behavior. Psychotherapy and/or medication can help alleviate these symptoms.

Lung Cancer
Tobacco kills more than 430,000 U.S. citizens each year. This is more than alcohol, cocaine, heroin, homicide, suicide, car accidents, fire and AIDS combined. Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals, including toxins like ammonia. The main reason why cigarette smoking is such a serious concern is that nicotine is a powerful and addictive drug that has the potential to kill someone. Nicotine in tobacco products has addictive properties similar in severity to those of heroin. Stopping is difficult because of the unpleasantness of withdrawal, which includes feelings of anxiety, anger, frustration, irritability, insomnia, and depression. However, continued smoking may lead to far more dire consequences, such as cancer, high blood pressure, lung cancer, heart attacks, emphysema, and ulcers.

Neurology
Autism
Autism and other pervasive developmental disorders are brain disorders that occurs in as many as 2 in 1,000 Americans. They typically affect the ability to communicate, form relationships with others, and respond appropriately to the outside world. The signs of autism usually develop by 3 years of age. The symptoms and deficits associated with autism may vary among people with the disorder. While some individuals with autism function at a relatively high level, with speech and intelligence intact, others are developmentally delayed, mute, or have serious language difficulty.
Multiple Sclerosis
Psychologists and other mental health professionals can play a key role when it comes to medical illness by helping people with physical illnesses respond to the psychological consequences of their medical conditions -- that is, focusing attention on the way illness often leads to psychological distress. With chronic physical illnesses such as arthritis, asthma, chronic pain syndromes, multiple sclerosis, and ulcers in the context of individual, family, and group therapy, psychotherapy can have a great impact. Patients make use of therapy as a vehicle to help them turn the harsh realities of their medical conditions into an opportunity for an enhanced commitment to life.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
When medically necessary, our psychiatric nurse practitioners and psychiatrists are experienced in successfully providing evaluation and medication management for anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and other problems
Stress Management
Behavior therapy, also known as behavior modification or behaviorism, focuses on setting up rewards and punishments to change thinking patterns and shape behavior. Behavioral therapy can involve relaxation training, stress management, biofeedback, and desensitization of phobias. Behavioral therapists help patients learn how to obtain more satisfaction and rewards through their own actions and how to unlearn the negative behavioral patterns. It is often combined with cognitive therapy, known as cognitive-behavioral therapy.
Depression
Mental Health
It is not necessary to have a major mental health disorder to benefit from psychotherapy. Many people seek therapy for personal characteristics and feelings that are reducing their enjoyment and fulfillment in life. Issues which are often the focus of therapy include low self-esteem, shyness, unassertiveness, excessive anger, loneliness, guilt, jealousy, life crises, obsessive love, excessive worry, interpersonal problems, work and school problems. Therapy helps patients gain insight into their problems and overcome dysfunctional behaviors.
Psychiatry
A Psychiatrist is a physician (MD or DO) who specializes in the field of psychiatry. After completing medical school in general medicine (not specifically in psychiatry), the psychiatrist usually completes a 3 year residency in hospital psychiatry. They may, or may not, be Board Certified. Psychiatrists are best trained to treat severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and severe depression, with medication, sometimes hospitalization, and in some severe cases, ECT. While some psychiatrists practice psychotherapy, most primarily do medical evaluations, diagnosis, prescribe medication, and then do brief medication follow-up visits. Psychotherapy for these patients is usually conducted by the mental health providers of other disciplines such as psychologists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, social workers, professional counselors, and marriage & family therapists. Psychiatrist’s fees are generally much higher than those of other mental health professionals.
Insomnia
Behavioral Health
We have a set fee schedules for psychotherapy and medication which are related to the usual and customary fees of providers in the area. When warranted, fees are determined on an individual basis with consideration for your circumstances. Most medical insurance plans cover part or all of the cost of treatment. Many of our therapists participate on numerous insurance panels, EAPs, HMOs, PPOs, EPOs and POSs including Aetna, CIGNA, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Healthnet, IDA, Magellan, Managed Health Network, United Health Care, Value Behavioral Health, UBH, Oxford, Devon, Multiplan, First Health, One Health, Medicare, CHN, PHCS, Beech Street and many others.
