When thinking about an issue that causes great distress or interference with your life, it may be time to think about therapy. Deciding you may need therapy or counseling services often requires great consideration, but if thinking about or coping with the issue takes up at least an hour each day, the issue causes embarrassment or makes you want to avoid others, the issue has caused your quality of life to decrease, the issue has negatively affected school, work, or relationships, or you’ve made changes in your life or developed habits to cope with the issue, it may be time to seek help. The providers at Complete Behavioral Health are standing by to help give you the support and direction you need to achieve your goals.

Our providers prescribe medication carefully and on a case-by-case basis. We offer the best possible evidence-based treatment plans, and this sometimes includes medication. However, we will not simply throw prescriptions at our patients: our providers will often provide other treatments as a start and gauge their effectiveness, then later discerning if medication is needed or recommended. Mind Before Medecine!

If you need a combination of therapy and medication, our therapists are happy to help. Our psychiatrists work very closely with our therapists so that they can fully evaluate your needs and come up with an appropriate and effective treatment plan, often allowing for faster and more complete results.

Our clients usually feel connected to their providers; however, sometimes you may feel like it is simply not a fit. In such cases, we recommend you speak directly to your provider and let them know you would like to change. If this feels too difficult, please feel free to reach out to our administrative team so that we can help find a better fit.

Parents and guardians are always included in the intake process and often included in the treatment process for patients under the age of 18. Depending on the patient’s age, needs, and comfort level, parents and family members can be included. This is usually determined by the provider in conjunction with the patient.

Fees vary, but are usually dependent on your provider’s training and credentials, as well as specific services rendered. For more information on fees, payments, and insurance, please contact our office.
