Psychiatric Evaluations

Psychiatric evaluations are comprehensive assessments conducted by mental health professionals to understand and diagnose emotional, behavioral, and psychological disorders in individuals of different age groups. These evaluations play a crucial role in designing personalized treatment plans to promote mental well-being.

Ann Marie conducts psychiatric evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. she diagnoses and treats a wide variety of conditions including ADHD, depression, anxiety, ptsd, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and eating disorders.

she has a particular interest in: the intersection of medical diagnoses including POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), Lyme disease, hypothyroidism, and Chronic fatigue syndrome, the co-occurence of substance use disorders and ADHD, including the careful, but effective, treatment of ADHD in this population, treatment of severe problem behavior in individuals with asd/idd including the important collaboration with behavior analysts, and the mtfr gene and folic acid metabolism’s role in mental health & psychiatry

Medication Management

Psychiatric medication management involves the careful prescription, monitoring, and adjustment of medications to treat and manage mental health conditions. It aims to optimize medication effectiveness while minimizing side effects. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to assess progress and make necessary adjustments to the medication regimen, ensuring the best possible outcome for symptom improvement

Ann Marie prides herself on actively working to prevent poly pharmacy, prescribing the least medications at the smallest effective doses to treat symptoms - this doesn’t mean everyone’s symptoms are treated with low doses or one medication and that is okay! But careful management and assessment of the role of each medication in order to ensure necessity and efficacy, making one change at a time, is crucial to evidence based prescribing for children, adolescents, and adults

Pharmacogenomic Testing (GeneSight)

GeneSight psychotropic testing is a genetic test used in the field of psychiatry and mental health. It's designed to assist healthcare providers in selecting the most appropriate medications for individuals with mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric disorders. The test analyzes an individual's genetic information, specifically looking at variations in genes that influence the way their body processes certain psychiatric medications. Based on the genetic analysis, GeneSight generates a report that categorizes medications by those which are genetically optimal and suboptimal. Healthcare providers can use the GeneSight report to make more informed decisions about which medications are likely to be most effective and have the fewest side effects for the individual. This can help optimize the treatment plan and potentially reduce the trial-and-error approach to finding the right medication.

Ann Marie has been using Genesight testing for the past decade (since GeneSight’s inception in 2013) and has completed tests on over 1,000 patients across all different age groups and diagnoses. She has served as a medical consultant and speaker for Genesight for the last 5 years and is considered an expert in the utilization of the test. she has trained hundreds or providers in science behind the test and how to use it to optimize patient’s outcomes most effectively.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy, also known as counseling or psychotherapy, is a confidential and collaborative process where a trained therapist works one-on-one with clients to address a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. In individual therapy, clients have a safe and supportive space to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to develop effective strategies for personal growth, problem-solving, and achieving emotional well-being. both Ann Marie & Tell tailor their therapy to meet the unique needs and goals of each client, providing a compassionate and evidence-based approach to healing and personal development.

Tell offers individual therapy to both adolescents (14+) and adults. He offers in person and virtual sessions, with a flexible schedule and no waiting list! See Tell’s bio for more information on his therapeutic style and approach.

Ann Marie accepts a limited amount of clients for therapy if, after assessment, it is determined that her particular areas of skill and expertise in therapy would best serve the patient instead of referral to separate qualified therapist. Typically, Ann Marie’s therapy clients are adolescent and young adult females struggling with interpersonal relationships with family, peers, and significant others.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is a therapeutic approach where a trained therapist leads a small group of individuals who share common concerns or goals. It provides a supportive and confidential space for participants to explore their thoughts, emotions, and interpersonal dynamics. In a group setting, members offer each other valuable insights, feedback, and encouragement, fostering personal growth and emotional healing. group therapy is an effective and affordable way to address a variety of mental health issues while building connections with others who may be experiencing similar challenges.
