In addition, we offer combined assessment, psychotherapy and medication management for ADHD, anxiety-related disorders, depression, bipolar disorders, relationship issues, and more.

Tele-Treatment and Screening for Co-Occurring Disorders

Addiction care requires specialized expertise and experience due to its complex nature. Planting Seeds Behavioral Health acknowledges the importance of addressing an individual's physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual attributes to obtain sustained recovery. Mental health disorders that co-occur need to be identified to address prognosis and treatment options adequately. Individuals spend time and energy trying to determine what comes first, the mental illness or the addiction. That time and energy can be used to address problematic symptoms because you may never find the answer to what came first. We accomplish this together. Combining treatment methods and interventions, including screening and diagnosis, online therapy, and medication management. This will begin to lay a foundation for an incredible new life.

ADHD Screening and Treatment for Adults and Children

Proper diagnosis and treatment for ADHD can change your entire life. A myriad of symptoms can stem from untreated ADHD, so we want to get to the root of the problem, which can alleviate many associated symptoms such as substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. After completing a self-assessment that addresses crucial symptoms such as impulsivity, inattention, and restlessness, a session will be scheduled to discuss your concerns and the detrimental effects on your life. If ADHD is diagnosed, it will be one of the three types of the disorder: inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive, or combined. Additional information may also be used from loved ones to support a diagnosis. A treatment plan is then developed to meet your unique needs.

Anxiety and Depression Screening for Adults and Children

Anxiety and depression often hold hands. However, they can and do present separately. The most common anxiety disorders include social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, general anxiety disorder, separation anxiety, and specific phobias. 

 

The most common form of depression is Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) which is very different than normal sad feelings in response to life events. An accurate diagnosis includes having either a depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure in almost all activities combined with four additional symptoms, which may consist of either weight changes, sleep disruption, trouble concentrating, or recurrent thoughts of suicide. These must be present for two or more weeks and cannot be diagnosed if an individual has experienced a manic episode, substance use, or medical condition. 

 

After a proper diagnosis is reached, a combination of talk therapy and medication management is discussed, and a personalized treatment plan is created.

Bipolar I & II Screening and Treatment 

Bipolar disorder is a debilitating and often chronic illness that involves episodes of mania and depression that is frequently misdiagnosed in the outpatient setting. The challenge faced is that the most common presentation is depression. A critical assessment and history is imperative to identify manic/hypomanic episodes. Planting Seeds spends the time needed for accuracy. Evaluation sometimes involves blood work, a recent physical from your primary doctor, age appropriate questioners, and interviews with family members. The treatment includes a personalized treatment that combines psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy.

Relationship Issues

 

Planting Seeds Behavioral Health creates a safe space to discuss your family and relationship history openly. The goal is to identify dysfunctional patterns and specific behaviors, challenging emotions, and self-doubt blocking you from having more fulfilling relationships. We cannot only implement boundaries unto others and expect those we love to comply. We need to understand ourselves first. We must be in tune with what we will and won't accept. Planting Seeds will offer strategies and tools to execute and enforce these boundaries confidently and kindly.
