Our Treatment Modalities
Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation
A thorough evaluation of one’s mental health needs that includes a history of the current problem, a medical and psychiatric history, a family and social history, and a formal diagnosis and plan for further treatment.
Medication Management
Many psychiatric problems are best managed by carefully administered and monitored medications. Often this is the best course of action in improving one’s psychological health.
Dr. Christopher Schrodt also utilizes the following treatment approaches.
Meditation Instruction
Various evidence based meditation techniques can be taught that will lead to greater psychological health. These can be tailored to the individual’s specific difficulties and inherent emotional strength
Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy
A collaborative psychotherapy that uses the understanding of the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Individuals learn techniques to directly modify distressing mental states and improve psychological health.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
An evidence based psychotherapy to help individuals overcome both severe and mild traumatic memories. It utilizes biological processes to help alter one’s impaired past memory processing and creates more adaptive understanding of oneself and the world.
Hypnosis
A collaborative use of one’s unconscious abilities to allow transformation of psychological difficulties. Techniques are used which can both strengthen positive qualities in the mind and uproot pathological patterns.
Nutritional Counseling
There is a growing body of evidence of how diet and nutritional supplements can have both a positive and negative impact on one’s mental health. Individualized testing, education, and instruction can complement medication management and other therapies.
