Mental health conditions and substance use disorders can affect every area of life, from relationships and work to sleep, energy, concentration, and overall functioning.
For some individuals, therapy alone may provide the support they need. For others, psychiatric care and medication management can be an important part of treatment.
At Green Hill, our psychiatric providers work collaboratively with clients to understand their symptoms, develop individualized treatment plans, and provide ongoing support over time. Our approach combines medical expertise with a broader understanding of the many factors that influence mental health and recovery.

What Our Psychiatric Care Includes
While psychiatric care primarily focuses on medications, the best psychiatry involves more than simply prescribing medication.
The best results come from taking a holistic picture of what is going on and creating holistic solutions.
Our providers take time to understand each person’s symptoms, history, goals, and circumstances before developing a treatment plan.
Services may include:
Psychiatric Evaluations
Trying to prescribe medications without a thorough evaluation is like trying to hit a target in a dark room.
While many providers are focused on quick appointments, we think it’s more important to take the time to do it right.
The foundation of good care starts with a thorough evaluation.
Our team starts with a comprehensive assessment designed to better understand symptoms, medical history, mental health concerns, substance use history, and treatment goals.
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
Getting an accurate diagnosis is important. Accurate diagnosis helps build a treatment plan with interventions that will be more effective.
Our providers work collaboratively with clients to establish accurate diagnoses and create individualized treatment plans tailored to their needs.
Medication Management
Just like any other medical condition, medications are not a “one and done.” Medications require close monitoring for effectiveness, symptoms, side-effects, and adjusting to what is happening in life.
When medication is appropriate, our team helps individuals understand their options, monitor effectiveness, manage side effects, and make adjustments as needed.
Ongoing Psychiatric Care
Mental health and addiction treatment is often an ongoing process. Regular follow-up appointments allow providers to monitor progress, evaluate treatment effectiveness, and support long-term wellbeing.
Conditions We Treat
We have a diverse team with many different specialties and talents. This is important for making sure each patient has access to professionals that are the best fit for each patient’s unique needs.
Our psychiatric team works with individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health and co-occurring substance use concerns.
Depression
Depression can affect mood, motivation, energy, concentration, sleep, and overall quality of life. Psychiatric treatment may include medication management, therapy recommendations, and ongoing support.
Depression can rob you of your ability to experience joy and can leave you feeling hopeless. It’s important to find a team that you feel comfortable working with until you can begin reclaiming your joy.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety is often described as being “stuck in the future.” Your mind drifts to all the things that could go wrong and makes it difficult to focus on the present moments.
As a result, anxiety can make it difficult to fully engage with work, relationships, and daily life.
Our providers help individuals develop treatment plans that support symptom management and long-term happiness.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is a complicated disorder and has multiple types. Each type has its own symptoms and clinical needs.
It is very important to work closely with a talented psychiatrist and treatment team that can help you find the most effective treatments for your type of bipolar.
Bipolar disorder involves changes in mood, energy, and activity levels that can significantly impact daily functioning. When it goes untreated, it can be life-threatening.
Psychiatric care can help individuals maintain greater stability and manage symptoms effectively.
ADHD
ADHD is a diverse disorder with many different presentations. Getting an accurate diagnosis and evaluation can help with getting the best outcomes.
ADHD can affect focus, organization, time management, and emotional regulation. This can all make life more stressful and frustrating.
Treatment may include medication, behavioral strategies, and coordination with therapy services.
PTSD and Trauma-Related Conditions
Trauma can continue to affect mental health long after an event has passed. Our providers work with individuals experiencing PTSD and other trauma-related concerns as part of a comprehensive treatment approach.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
OCD is far more than being focused on details or routines.
True OCD can be debilitating and exhausting.
OCD can involve intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that interfere with daily life. Psychiatric treatment may be combined with therapy to support symptom management.
Co-Occurring Substance Use Disorders
Mental health conditions and substance use disorders frequently occur together.
In fact, they occur together so often that professionals will often use the term “dual diagnosis” to describe when a person has mental health and addiction issues that are contributing to each other.
Our providers have experience treating co-occurring conditions and developing integrated treatment plans that address both concerns.
Medication Management: What to Expect
Many people feel uncertain about psychiatric medications, especially if they have never worked with a psychiatric provider before.
Our approach is collaborative and individualized. Medication decisions are made together, based on your symptoms, medical history, goals, and preferences.
During medication management appointments, we may discuss:
- Current symptoms and concerns
- Previous treatment experiences
- Potential benefits and risks of medication
- Side effects and how to manage them
- Offers a dedicated teaavavam approach to help you stabilize and move toward long-term healing
- Adjustments to treatment plans when needed
Medication is not the right choice for everyone, but when appropriate, it can help reduce symptoms and improve overall functioning.
Psychiatry, Therapy, and Addiction Medicine: An Integrated Approach
Mental health treatment often works best when services are coordinated.
Medication may help reduce symptoms such as depression, anxiety, mood instability, or difficulties with attention and focus. Therapy helps individuals develop coping skills, improve relationships, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful changes in their lives.
For individuals experiencing substance use challenges, addiction medicine services can provide additional support through specialized medical care and treatment planning.
At Green Hill, our providers collaborate across disciplines to ensure treatment is aligned, coordinated, and focused on the whole person.
Our Psychiatric Team
Our psychiatric providers have experience treating a wide range of mental health and substance use conditions across different stages of life and recovery.
