Hello, I’m Melinda Bates. Are you struggling with your mental health? Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar episodes, OCD, or maybe don’t know what you are feeling? I do not treat ADHD due to the type of medications that are used for treatment. I work with patients to find the most effective treatments to improve their mental health and be their best self. I provide medication management to decrease the symptoms of mental illness that affect quality of life. While I do provide therapy myself, I can work with your therapist to provide a collaborative approach to your care. You and I will work as a team to find the best treatment for you. I will provide evidence-based treatment options and education on the options so you can make an informed decision about your care. I look forward to working with you!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I want to take this time to get to know you, your history and what you are wanting to get out of treatment so that we can work together to find the right medication options to help achieve your goals.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I provide medication treatment and monitoring. Laboratory testing will be ordered as needed for medication monitoring or assessment and Genesight testing can be done at the patient’s request.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have been working with adolescent and adult patients for 4 years in an outpatient setting. My biggest strengths are patients with depression, anxiety, Bipolar, OCD, and PTSD.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Patients who are open to medications to help improve their mental health.
