Creating Pathways to Wellness Through Mental Health Treatment
We live in a society that rewards working long hours and having overbooked schedules. Everyone talks about work/life balance, but the expectations we put on ourselves at home and in the office leave us feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
Even people who don’t have a history of depression or anxiety may suddenly feel hopeless or like their world is spinning out of control. You may experience dizziness and a tight chest before giving a presentation. Or perhaps you find yourself unable to focus on simple tasks. Feelings of extreme irritability, sadness, or panic may come out of nowhere and affect your relationships at home and work.
The stigma surrounding mental health leads many adults to mask these symptoms and continue with their daily lives. We try to hold everything together, but eventually, even the strongest of people can break. Seeking psychiatric treatment for mental health disorders is nothing to be ashamed of and is a necessary step in the path to emotional wellness.
Twin Cities Metro Mental Health Therapy Services
The psychiatric specialists at West End Consultation Group take a compassionate and comprehensive approach to diagnose and treat mental health disorders. We work with you to assess and diagnose your condition, then take steps to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. West End Consultation group offers the following services:
Psychotherapy
Counseling is a method of mental health therapy that focuses on relieving emotional distress and working through issues or situations affecting your mental wellness. We believe that gaining perception into the difficulties you face and how they affect your life is the first and biggest step in becoming the healthiest version of yourself.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps you work through PTSD and other severe types of psychological trauma in a natural, healthy way. Stress reduction and desensitization techniques are used to help you identify triggers, so you can begin working through your trauma.
Medication Management
Sometimes you need medication in addition to mental health therapy. It’s our philosophy to treat your condition with the lowest dose possible. Yoga, meditation, and exercise are also incorporated into your treatment as needed to create a well-rounded emotional wellness plan that’s as individual as you.
Mental Health Conditions We Treat
Mental health conditions affect everyone differently. Working with an experienced provider is the only way to get an accurate diagnosis.
- Depressive Disorder: Depression is a common but serious mental health condition. Please seek help immediately if you have overwhelming or persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness. If you or a loved one are experiencing suicidal thoughts, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
- General Anxiety Disorder: Anxiety disorders come in several forms and can be debilitating in severe cases. If you experience overwhelming anxiety, nervousness, difficulty concentrating, or feelings of panic, we can help.
