Psychotherapy (sometimes called talk therapy) refers to a variety of treatments that aim to help a person identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts and behaviors. You might seek out psychotherapy for many reasons, including the following:

• Having symptoms with no physical explanation, such as changes in sleep or appetite, low energy level, lack of interest or pleasure in activities that used to be enjoyed, persistent irritability, excessive worry or a sense of discouragement or hopelessness that won’t go away
• A health care provider recommends you seek counseling for depression, anxiety, stress, grief, anger or other debilitating emotional states.

WBI Outpatient teletherapists use a variety of therapy techniques to help people:

• Identify harmful thinking patterns that may keep them from having healthy relationships with themselves and others
• Build positive coping to manage stress and day-to-day problem solving
• Apply mindfulness and other techniques to manage challenging emotions and experiences
• Improve emotional self-regulation
• Explore troubling issues and receive emotional support
• Overcome complex trauma and other difficult experiences

TMS is an FDA-approved, drug-free treatment for adults with major depression who have not adequately benefited from antidepressant medication. The procedure uses highly focused magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain known to affect mood regulation. It is noninvasive and free of the side effects that patients can experience when they take antidepressants.

Our psychiatrists provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management. WBI’s psychiatrists are compassionate and skilled physicians who understand that you may have questions and concerns about medication as a treatment modality. Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (an M.D. or D.O.) who specializes in mental health, including substance use disorders. Psychiatrists are qualified to assess both the mental and physical aspects of psychological problems.

People seek psychiatric help for many reasons. The problems can be sudden, such as a panic attack, frightening hallucinations, thoughts of suicide or hearing “voices.” Or they may be more long-term, such as feelings of sadness, hopelessness or anxiousness that never seem to lift or problems functioning, causing everyday life to feel distorted or out of control.

Psychiatrists can prescribe medications. Medications can play a role in treating mental disorders and conditions and are often used in combination with other treatment approaches such as psychotherapies and brain stimulation therapies. Medications can affect people in different ways, and it may take several tries to find the medication that is most effective with the fewest side effects. It’s important for people to work with a health care provider or mental health professional to develop a treatment plan that meets their needs and medical situation.
