Clinical Programs

MIDWEST PSYCHIATRY

Midwest Psychiatry, established in 1989, was opened to meet the unique needs of individuals with serious and persistent mental illness.  Our multidisciplinary team is comprised of  board certified psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, licensed clinical social workers and medical assistants. The team works closely with the patient, their family and community support staff to provide high quality, effective and holistic care. Our focus is on recovery and wellness, and thus an emphasis is placed on helping patients achieve psychiatric stability as well as improved physical health.

• Psychiatric assessment

We provide a complete evaluation that establishes diagnoses, recommendations for treatment, medication regime, physical health status, and the need for community resources.

• Treatment planning

Treatment planning is done in conjunction with the patient and others involved in their care.  The focus is on recovery and wellness and thus is holistic in nature.

• Medication management

We provide ongoing assessment, monitoring, and prescription of medications.

• Individual & Group Counseling

Individual and group therapy is provided by licensed clinical social workers.  Patients can be referred by their doctor or social worker.

• Health Monitoring & Education

We bring a holistic approach to care by monitoring health measures at each visit and providing health information and referrals for physical health needs.
