Hello. I’m Philicia. Have you been feeling sad, disconnected, anxious and overwhelmed? Have you been working with a therapist but need to consider adding or changing medications to improve your symptoms? I help people to better manage depression, anxiety and mood disorders keeping the whole person in mind. Let’s individualize your treatment based on your symptoms, your medical history, and your preferences to create a personalized plan. We’ll use a client-centered approach that combines non-medication techniques in concert with medication to manage your symptoms and keep you moving forward. I believe your physical and mental wellness are inseparable. You deserve a compassionate care provider who will listen and address both your physical and your emotional needs using evidence-based and complementary techniques. I'm here to help. Let's work together.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
With over 30 years in healthcare, I have helped people during their most challenging times. I can meet people where they are and provide coaching and support to help them reconnect with their lives. I work with my clients to establish a therapeutic partnership, explore treatment options, and explain medications and treatments to empower them to achieve their wellness goals.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use evidence-based treatments including medication, lifestyle modification, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral techniques to target your symptoms from multiple angles.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe in treating the whole person by creating a partnership based on mutual respect and individualizing care with an understanding of your medical and mental health history. With a background in both primary care and psychiatry, I integrate both into the treatment plan for more comprehensive and personalized care.
