Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between therapy and psychiatry?

Psychiatrists are medical professionals who can prescribe and manage medications to treat mental health conditions. Therapy focuses on behavioral and emotional strategies; psychiatry often works best when integrated with therapy.

If symptoms of anxiety, depression, or ADHD are affecting your daily life, a psychiatric evaluation can help determine whether medication, therapy, or both are appropriate.

Yes! We provide ADHD testing and treatment for both teens and adults, including medication and behavioral strategies.
