Treatment Services for Mental Health Conditions
You may be seeking mental health care for a previously diagnosed condition, you might already have an idea of the condition you’re dealing with, or maybe you just know something’s “off.” Whatever the case, you don’t have to have your diagnosis and symptoms all figured out before you seek therapy or medication management. Our experts can assess your symptoms and ask about your health history to determine a diagnosis and treatment plan unique to your needs and goals.
New Directions Mental Health provides mental health treatment for conditions such as:
Anxiety
Chronic anxiety can lead to frequent spirals, avoidance, and physical health problems. Types of anxiety could include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety, or a specific phobia, all of which can make it difficult to function and enjoy life.
Depression
Depression involves low mood, feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness, loss of interest in daily activities, and changes to sleeping and eating patterns.
Eating Disorders
Eating disorders can wreak havoc on mental and physical health, often stemming from a need for control. They can impact people of all ages, genders, and sizes, and can include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, or pica.
ADHD
ADHD involves a brain difference that makes it more difficult to focus and control impulses. While it’s technically more common in younger males, ADHD is not limited to any age or gender, and the symptom profile of female ADHD is becoming better understood.
OCD
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is marked by ruminating on severe intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to performing compulsions, or repetitive behaviors, to try to limit the anxiety of the thought. Media often portrays people with OCD as obsessed with cleanliness or counting, when it’s often much more subtle, with people enacting mental rituals or checking instead of outward compulsions.
PTSD
Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after being exposed to a traumatic event, or multiple events that can lead to complex PTSD. This can lead to flashbacks, nightmares, and being “on alert” at all times. Our counselors are dedicated to helping people work through their pain and heal from their trauma to live healthier lives.
Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a serious condition that can spark delusions, hallucinations, and other forms of disorganized thinking. With the right treatment, however, it’s possible for people with schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders to manage their symptoms and live balanced, full lives.
Sleep Disorder
Sleep disorders can stem from a physical health difference or disorder, or they could be a symptom of an underlying mental health issue. When this is the case, our clinicians can help by providing therapy and medication management for the mental health concern, often alleviating sleep problems as a result.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder involves experiencing periods of high-highs and low-lows, often leading to difficulty maintaining relationships and work. Our expert clinicians can help you find a balance to live the life you want with the right combination of therapy and medication.
