SERVICES
EVALUATION AND CONSULTATION SESSION
The first appointment is a consultation and is meant to determine whether an ongoing treatment relationship fits your needs. If mutually agreed upon, follow up sessions can be scheduled and the formal treatment relationship will commence. Our psychiatrists and psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners primarily see adults from ages 18 and older for consultation, psychotherapy, and medication management.
Dr. Williams also provides psychiatric evaluations required for certain surgeries. Please call our office for more details.
MEDICATION MANAGEMENT
Our clinicians have extensive experience in the medication management of psychiatric disease. While not everyone will benefit from or desire to use medication as a part of their treatment plan, at times medication can be extremely helpful in alleviating psychological distress.
We are firm believers that medication should only be used when necessary and maintained at the lowest doses possible to achieve successful results.

TRANS-CRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION
For patients with medication-resistant depression, or those trying to avoid medications, we now offer trans-cranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). TMS is a safe, FDA-approved, non-drug treatment for severe depression. For patients who have tried multiple medications, it is usually covered by insurance companies for severe depression.
If you would like to see if you are appropriate for TMS or learn more information about out TMS program, please call our office or ask your provider about it at your next visit.
GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY
Working in groups is a great way to improve wellbeing, learning together and from each other. Due to overwhelmingly positive patient feedback, we have expanded our group program. Each group lasts one hour. At this time our groups are open which means that new member can join whenever they would like and the groups do not end on a particular date.
MANAGING MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH THE HOLIDAY SEASON
The holiday season is quickly approaching. This can be an especially difficult time of year for many people. There is a significant increase in levels of stress due to business, managing expectations, financial hardship, grief, or any other number of unresolved issues. We will discuss various issues that may arise during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and practical ways to manage your mental health all the way through.
