Mental Health Services

Heritage Mental Health Clinic Provides the Following Services:

Psychotherapy/ Counseling is a collaborative treatment based on the relationship between you and your mental health provider. A supportive and nonjudgemental environment allows you to talk openly with an objective professional who applies scientifically validated procedures to help solve the problems that bring you in. The treatment we provide is governed by psychodynamic, interpersonal, cognitive, behavioral and EMDR priciples. By the end of treatment, you will have changed thoughts, feelings and behaviors that have kept you from functioning your best, and you will have learned new skills to cope with challenges that arise in the future. Research demonstrates that psychotherapy provides long-term positive benefits.

Psychiatric Medication Management is accomplished by working with a psychiatrist who will perform an initial assessment of your symptoms, and your medical and psychiatric history we'll try to determine whether or not medication is a good option in the treatment of your mental health. The prescribed medication will be discussed with you, and education will be provided on the therapeutic benefits and side effects of the suggested medication options. The medication will be monitored through future appointments and changes will be made as necessary to ensure your treatment needs are met.

Behavioral Pain Management is a treatment that involves your meeting with a psychologist who will develop a specific plan and treatment to help lessen the severity of your pain, and to enhance your ability to cope with thoughts, feelings and behaviors that accompany your chronic pain. The treatment typically involves learning strategies to reduce the severity of the pain, changing unhelpful thoughts about your pain, developing a realistic activity level, building new coping skills, addressing and accompanying psychological problems such as depression or anxiety and restoring a sense of hope and purpose. Behavioral pain management has been shown to significantly enhance the quality of life for those individuals with chronic pain.
