Pittsburgh Counseling Services and Medication Management

We offer short term solution focused counseling and long term psychotherapy. Your therapist can customize a treatment plan specific for your therapy needs. A normal treatment route can be anything from 12 sessions to several years depending upon the issues that are being supported. Often counseling begins with weekly appointments and then as the individual or couple starts to experience the benefits of therapy, they can cut back to bi-weekly.

Therapy or Counseling can help you to manage distressing events in an effective way. It can help you to uncover and develop internal resources to overcome troubling thoughts and feelings. Counseling can help you to reduce and manage a mental health diagnosis or to overcome stress and situational concerns. For couples and families, counseling is a place for partners to be able to connect in a supportive and compassionate way. Marriage Counseling can help to communicate, reduce conflict, enhance intimacy, effectively co-parenting, to mediate problem solving, to manage a medical diagnosis, to work through betrayal and infidelity as well as many more issues.

Medication management can be an essential part of treatment for many people with mental illness as it can help to relieve symptoms and improve overall functioning. Working with a psychiatrist or psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) to determine if medication is necessary and to create a treatment plan that includes the right type and dosage of medication can help promote recovery and normal living.

Antidepressants and therapy can work together to effectively treat mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. Antidepressants are medications that can help alleviate the symptoms of these conditions, while therapy can provide patients with the tools and strategies to manage their symptoms over the long term.
