My name is Ally and I am currently accepting new patients for psychiatric evaluations + medication management for ages 10-65. When it comes to mental health, I truly believe that getting to know who you are as a whole person is one of the most important things that can happen. You are a person who has endured magical, painful, exciting, and hard things. You are more than just symptoms, and answers don't always just lie in prescriptions to "fix" these symptoms. Mental health is a whole-body experience and a journey, not merely a destination. Using medication to help with treatment is just a piece of the overall picture.

As a healthcare professional specializing in mental health and weight management, I understand the complex interplay between mental health issues, medication, and weight gain. Mental health disorders and the medications used to treat them can often contribute to weight gain, creating a cycle that can be challenging to break. Recognizing this, I emphasize the importance of addressing both mental health and weight management in a comprehensive treatment plan. My approach is not just about losing weight; it's about improving overall mental health, boosting self-esteem, and fostering a positive body image.

I am dual certified nurse practitioner as a family nurse practitioner and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I believe understanding the connection between the mind and body is paramount. It is my goal to help individuals reach this balance. I am a compassionate practitioner with experience working with individuals with diverse backgrounds. I’m passionate about decreasing the stigma around mental health. I grew up in a culture where it was not okay to express any feelings and the idea of mental health/depression/anxiety was brushed under the rug. If you're going through this, we can talk about how that impacts you.

Hi there! I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, offering medication management.

You know better than anyone else what your experience is and what your goals are. My goal is that we come up with a treatment plan together that is appropriate and doable, whether that includes medications or not. I believe that medications won’t always solve everything. Support is just as important, if not more.

Psychiatric medications can be life-saving scaffolding in the journey to managing your mental health. Sometimes they are a lifelong; sometimes they are a situation- or life-season- specific – but you are completely in control of that long-term plan and it will always be an ongoing discussion. I am a huge advocate of integrating non-medication tools into your toolbox– self-awareness, routine, practical life changes, sunlight, activity, community, and self-compassion (the list goes on) can be small-but-huge steps to transformation. Sometimes medication can be the step to take in order to be able to build in life management skills.

Behavioral Issues Psychiatrists

What happens in therapy for behavioral issues?

No matter the type of therapy, individuals form an alliance with the therapist; that connection is often therapeutic in itself, plus it becomes an instrument of change. Individuals learn to identify situations that are especially troublesome for them and acquire new patterns of thinking and behaving. In therapy for ADHD, one of the most common behavior issues for children, individuals learn how to improve frustration tolerance, control impulsivity, manage attentional focus, and gain skills of self-organisation.

What therapy types help with behavioral issues?

Many types of therapy have been found effective, each targeting one or more areas of dysfunction. Perhaps best-known and most widely tested is cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT), in which individuals learn new behavioral strategies and curb reactivity to frustrating or distressing situations that trigger disruptive behaviour. Anger, anxiety, mood disorders, impulse control problems are commonly addressed in CBT. Family therapy or parent management training is often helpful to reduce parent-child conflict and behavioral difficulties at home.

How long does therapy last for behavioral issues?

Among popular approaches to treating behavioral concerns, CBT is considered a short-term therapy intended to be administered in 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Parent training in behavior management, often used when the underlying cause of behavior issues is ADHD in children under 12, usually occurs in weekly sessions for 8 to 16 weeks. When behavioral issues stem from persistent aggression or defiance, therapy may last for months, and usually targets both children and their parents.

How effective is therapy for behavior issues?

Studies show that therapy for behavior issues in children is highly effective and may prevent the development of antisocial behavior later in life. Family intervention—parent management training or family therapy, both of which involve parents and children together—is considered most effective, notably for children under age 12 who persistently engage in aggressive, defiant, rule-breaking or other disruptive behavior. Whether provided alone or in combination with medication, CBT is highly effective in helping people regulate their emotions, and for people with ADHD, it addresses impulsiveness, hyperactivity and attentional focus.
