Mental Health Services in Philadelphia
Our Mental Health Services in Philadelphia
Psychiatry
Our psychiatry services involve the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. Our licensed psychiatrists use medications, psychotherapy, and other therapeutic techniques to manage conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. The goal is to stabilize symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves one or more therapists working with several individuals at the same time. This type of therapy is beneficial for building support networks and learning from the experiences of others. It covers various topics such as stress management, social skills, and relapse prevention, allowing participants to practice new behaviors within a safe setting.
EMDR
EMDR is a psychotherapy technique proven effective for the treatment of trauma. It involves the patient recalling distressing images while receiving one of several types of bilateral sensory input, such as side-to-side eye movements or hand tapping. EMDR is designed to alleviate the stress associated with traumatic memories and allow the brain to process these experiences in a more adaptive way.
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy is a treatment that uses red low-level wavelengths of light to treat skin issues, such as wrinkles, scars, and persistent wounds, as well as other conditions like pain and inflammation. In the context of mental health, red light therapy has been explored for its potential to improve symptoms of depression and anxiety, particularly where traditional treatments have been insufficient.
Holistic Therapy
Holistic therapy addresses the individual as a whole, considering physical, emotional, spiritual, and social wellness. This approach may incorporate various treatment modalities like yoga, meditation, acupuncture, and nutrition counseling. The aim is to help individuals achieve balance in all areas of their lives, improving overall health and well-being.
Genetic Testing
Genetic testing in mental health care is used to identify specific biological markers that help predict a person's response to particular medications. This form of precision medicine can significantly improve the effectiveness of treatment by customizing medication plans based on the individual’s genetic profile, thereby reducing trial and error and potential side effects.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy provides you with one-on-one mental health counseling. This gives you the focused attention you need to overcome symptoms of mental health disorders. Throughout individual therapy, you'll develop new coping skills to manage stress, rebuild relationships, and thrive in everyday life.
Family Therapy
New Mind Wellness designed our family therapy program to help families reconnect by offering support and understanding. We teach families how to come together and reduce discord caused by mental health challenges.
Our Levels of Care
The levels of care we offer include:
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Our PHP service is ideal for individuals who require consistent medical monitoring but do not need 24-hour care. It’s structured to provide therapy for several hours a day, up to five days a week, allowing clients to engage deeply with their recovery while maintaining some independence.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): The IOP at New Mind Wellness is designed for those transitioning from inpatient treatment or those who need more support than traditional outpatient care. This program typically involves attending sessions for a few hours per day, several days a week, focusing on relapse prevention, coping strategies, and other essential skills for recovery.
