Atlanta Stress 

Center

Atlanta Stress Center approaches mental health treatment in an integrative manner. The whole-person approach -- designed to treat the person, not just the disease looks at:


  • Biological contributions (medical problems, family history of psychiatric problems, substance abuse)
  • Psychological dynamics
  • Social factors influencing life (family, work, intimate relationships)


We believe that by addressing these three spheres in combination, patients have the best chance of moving forward in their lives.

EXPECTED LENGTH AND FREQUENCY OF TREATMENT


Length of treatment is individualized and determined collaboratively between you and your psychiatrist.  Medication treatment for most psychiatric disorders is generally at least one year and therapy treatment can last from weeks to many years.  Patients with complicated problems (for example more than one psychiatric disorder or multiple medical problems) or with symptoms resistant to treatment may be seen for many years.
The frequency of visits depends on the specific problems.  Some patients will be appropriate for weekly psychotherapy sessions to continue the process of addressing current or past issues or pursuing goals of increased self-awareness, pattern change, or interpersonal growth.  Patients who are seen for medications alone often see me every three months.  Patients are seen frequently during initial medication treatment to evaluate medication efficacy and monitor for side-effects.  Patients on a stable medication regimen may be seen 3-4 times a year.  Continuous monitoring is important to ensure that you remain well..
