SUPPORTING YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH

Supporting Youth Mental Health After Trauma

Experiences involving domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or other traumatic events can affect emotional well-being, relationships, behavior, concentration, sleep, and daily functioning.

Our clinicians can work with patients to understand their concerns, discuss appropriate treatment options, and develop individualized care plans when psychiatric services are appropriate.

OUR SERVICES

Mental Health Services for Children, Youth & Families

Cordial Psychiatry offers a range of mental health services that may support individuals experiencing emotional or behavioral concerns.

✓

Psychiatric Evaluation

A psychiatric evaluation provides an opportunity to understand a person's mental health concerns, symptoms, history, functioning, and treatment needs. When clinically appropriate, the evaluation can help inform an individualized treatment plan.

✓

Medication Management

When medication is clinically appropriate, psychiatric medication management involves reviewing symptoms, treatment response, potential side effects, and ongoing needs. Treatment decisions are individualized and discussed with the patient and family when appropriate.

✓

Family Counseling

Family involvement can be an important part of mental health care. Family counseling may help improve communication, address relationship concerns, and provide families with strategies for navigating emotional and behavioral challenges.

✓

Care Management

Mental health concerns can affect multiple areas of life. Care management can help support coordination of appropriate services and resources when additional assistance is needed.

✓

Trauma-Informed Psychiatric Care

Trauma can affect emotional well-being and daily functioning in different ways. Cordial Psychiatry approaches mental health care with sensitivity to each patient's experiences, concerns, preferences, and treatment needs.

✓

On-Site Nursing Home Psychiatry

Cordial Psychiatry also provides on-site nursing home psychiatry services, extending psychiatric support to residents in participating senior-care settings when appropriate.

OUR APPROACH

A Trauma-Informed Approach to Psychiatric Care

At Cordial Psychiatry, we recognize that discussing difficult experiences can be challenging. Our approach emphasizes a respectful and supportive clinical environment where patients can communicate their concerns without unnecessary judgment.

Our care focuses on understanding the individual rather than defining a person by a traumatic experience. When psychiatric treatment is appropriate, we work with patients to develop care plans based on their symptoms, goals, clinical history, and individual circumstances.

Our care focuses on

  • Respectful communication
  • Individualized care
  • Understanding each person
  • Care plans based on individual circumstances

When psychiatric treatment is appropriate, care plans are based on symptoms, goals, clinical history, and individual circumstances.
