Finding the Right Path Forward
Psychiatric Evaluations
Comprehensive assessments designed to better understand symptoms, concerns, personal history, and treatment goals. Evaluations provide the foundation for developing a thoughtful and individualized plan of care.
Medication Management
Medication can be a valuable part of treatment when appropriate. Ongoing follow-up appointments allow for careful monitoring, adjustments when needed, and open conversations about what is working best for each patient. GeneSight® Testing is available here.
Therapeutic Support
A supportive environment to process emotions, navigate challenges, strengthen coping skills, and work toward improved emotional well-being.
Care Coordination
& Referrals
Mental health is influenced by many factors. Recommendations may include referrals, wellness resources, and lifestyle strategies that support long-term emotional and physical well-being.
At Compass Psychiatric Mental Health, treatment begins by understanding the full picture. Emotional health is influenced by many factors, including life experiences, relationships, stressors, developmental stages, physical health, and environment. Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, Michele works to identify contributing factors and address the root causes impacting overall well-being.
While medication management is available when clinically appropriate, treatment recommendations are made thoughtfully and collaboratively. The goal is to provide patients with the tools, support, and guidance they need to move toward lasting wellness and greater independence.
Every journey is different, and care should reflect that.
