Treatment

As stated on the home page, a safe, comfortable, effective, and multidisciplinary approach is taken towards treatment.   It is also believed that the connection between the provider and the patient is one of the most important aspects of treatment, and therefore, the development of a good report is essential.  With that being said, our APRN's primary specialty is that of diagnostic evaluation and psychopharmacology (medication evaluation and management).  Our staff has extensive training in psychopharmacology as they have extensive post-graduate training which includes training at: Yale's Master Psychopharmcology Course and regular attendance to Harvard's Master Psychopharmolcolgy Courses/Conferences.  Some staff have furthered their training but completing various course such as the Neuroscience Education Institute where offer a Master Psychopharmacology Course.  Our staff maintains membership with the Connecticut Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Society and the American Psychiatric Nurses Association where they continue to take courses on diagnostic evaluation as well as psychopharmacology.

​

Despite a concentration on psychopharmacology,  it is believed that psychotherapy is an essential part of treatment.  We will provide this type of services if we deem it suitable.  If not, we can refer you out to the appropriate therapist.
