Do you feel anxious, restless, or constantly under pressure to keep up with work, school, or family life? If your mood, focus, or energy feel off, a structured psychiatric evaluation can help clarify what’s going on and what treatment will be most effective. Many patients describe running on empty—burned out, stressed, or overwhelmed by anxiety and depression. At Solstice Healthcare, care is focused on adolescents and adults through individualized treatment planning to improve symptoms, restore stability, and support consistent functioning in daily life.
Patients are evaluated and treated for anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, adjustment challenges,and sleep issues. Treatment is individualized and may include prescribing med when appropriate, along with a comprehensive approach to care. Telehealth across Connecticut allows for consistent follow-up, monitoring, and timely treatment adjustment.
If symptoms are persistent, worsening, or interfering with daily functioning, a structured evaluation can help clarify diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment. Fill out the new patient form on the site—we’ll be in touch within 24 hours to schedule your initial appointment.
