Assessment of Mental Health
Our wellness services begin with an initial consultation in which much information will be taken about lifestyle, history, trauma, and other factors that affect treatment.
In the initial intake and therapy sessions, our mental health professionals will use tried and true evidence-based assessments to determine a diagnosis. Diagnosis of mental illness can take quite some time because symptoms vary by individual. However, by working with patients in one-on-one sessions to learn more about them and their mental wellness, our therapists can make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe a path to healing.
Talk Therapy Services by Active Path
Our therapists use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat anxiety and depression symptoms. The goal of CBT is to identify thoughts and behaviors that contribute to symptoms and to determine strategies for changing those thoughts and behaviors.
Every patient is different, and every patient is going through different life challenges. Your therapist will work with you to identify thoughts and behaviors that actively detract from your mental health. They will also give you coping skills to deal with life’s challenges.
We also offer group therapy services at Active Path. Group therapy can be very beneficial and is still patient-centered. In group therapy you learn from other patients how they cope with their mental illness and life. It can help you find balance and additional ideas for dealing with your own mental illness.
Medication Management Services by Active Path
The National Institute of Mental Health warns patients looking into mental health medication management that it can take several tries to find the right medication. There are dozens of medications on the market, and it can be difficult to find the one that works best for you.
An experienced mental health care provider will be able to work with you to find the right medication. Our psychiatric care is based on honesty and cooperation. It is important to tell your psychiatrist exactly how you are feeling and if you are having any side effects.
The goal of medication management is to limit symptoms while avoiding as many side effects as possible. Our psychiatrists have the expertise to find the right medication for you by with a focus on your needs, feelings, and overall health.
Other Services by Active Path
Active Path Mental Health Services offers other services to help patients on their healing journey. The path to healing for every patient is different, and we focus on making sure that all appropriate treatments are tried. Our Portland mental health services address mental health issues that are unresolved by therapy or medication.
To that end, we also offer transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This is a unique treatment for treatment-resistant depression in which magnetic pulses are focused on specific centers of the brain affected by depression.
We also offer Spravato, a new nasal spray used in our office in addition to a traditional antidepressant. This mental health care is for treatment-resistant depression. Spravato is not right for everyone, so it is important to work with mental health services with an understanding of the risks and potential side effects.
