Psychiatric Medication Management

Thoughtful prescribing. Collaborative care. Whole-person wellness.

At Mt. Adams Behavioral Health, our psychiatric medication management services are designed to support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood instability, and other mental health challenges. We take a measured, individualized approach—combining clinical expertise with compassion and respect for each client’s goals, values, and lived experience. I only provide psychiatric medication services for patients enrolled in Intensive OutpatientTreatment (IOP), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Group participants, or hypnotherapy patients needing this extra layer of support.

Structured support. Lasting health. Whole-person care.

At Mt. Adams Behavioral Health, our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers an evidence-based treatment option for adults who need more than weekly therapy to heal.

Our IOP provides 3–4 days per week of group and individual sessions, designed to stabilize symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and foster connection within a supportive therapeutic community. Our groups are 3 hours a day, 3 days a week. Individual therapy is once weekly.

💬 Who It’s For

Our IOP is ideal for individuals who:

Need step-down care after hospitalization or partial hospitalization

Are struggling with complex MH issues not improving in traditional outpatient therapy

Are struggling to work, parent, or function

Want a structured, skill-building environment to reinforce weekly therapy sessions

🧠 Program Components

Group Therapy: Evidence-based sessions rooted in Energy Anatomy, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches.

Individual Counseling: Weekly 1:1 sessions to process and integrate progress, either with me or with your established therapist.

Medication Management: Psychiatric evaluation and ongoing support monthly

Duration: 10 weeks

Our DBT Skills Groups offer a structured, supportive space for individuals seeking deeper emotional stability, improved relationships, and practical tools for navigating life’s challenges. Meeting for two hours, twice a week, these groups provide the consistency and intensity needed for meaningful, sustained change.

Grounded in mindfulness and taught through a compassionate, experiential lens, each session focuses on the core DBT modules: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. Participants learn and practice real-life skills that foster emotional resilience, strengthen communication, and support healthier coping patterns.

Our DBT groups are designed to feel safe, grounding, and connected—balancing evidence-based structure with a warm, heart-centered approach.

Mindfulness-based, somatic, and evidence-informed healing

Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy at Mt. Adams Behavioral Health is an evidence-informed, trauma-aware therapeutic approach that helps individuals access and integrate different parts of themselves into a more cohesive, balanced whole. This work recognizes that many emotional symptoms arise when parts of the self become fragmented, burdened, or stuck in protective roles.

Using a state of focused awareness—similar to deep mindfulness or meditation—hypnotherapy allows internal experiences to be accessed gently and safely. Clients remain awake, aware, and in control throughout the session. Within this state, individuals are often able to return to the source of an emotion, trauma, or painful experience, gaining clearer insight into how earlier experiences continue to influence thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors in the present.

As these experiences are revisited with safety and compassion, perceptions can shift. When the meaning attached to past events changes, the nervous system no longer needs to rely on outdated protective patterns, allowing behavior in the present to change as well. This process supports the release of trapped emotional or somatic energy and fosters greater clarity, flexibility, and emotional regulation.

Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy supports healing through presence, understanding, and integration, rather than force or suggestion. It is offered as part of a whole-person treatment plan, integrated with psychotherapy, IOP services, and/or psychiatric care when appropriate.
