DBH's Services
Individual, Couple, Family, and Group Therapy
At Dana Behavioral Health, therapy is tailored to meet the individual mental health goals of each client. Using evidence-based approaches, the clinicians help clients navigate personal challenges, promote mental well-being, and build healthy relationships. Each therapeutic session is designed to provide not only support but also practical strategies for maintaining mental health and improving quality of life.
DBH also offers specialized therapy services for families and couples, focusing on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening relationships. These services are crucial in identifying and addressing interpersonal issues that can impact the mental health of individuals involved.
Medication Management
Dana Behavioral Health prioritizes accessible and efficient medication management services. By streamlining the intake process, DBH helps clients quickly receive the care they need, reducing wait times and improving outcomes. Their integrated care model involves close collaboration between prescribers and therapists, ensuring that each treatment plan is tailored to the client's specific needs.
Clients can access medication management services independently without participating in DBH's therapy programs. This flexibility is precious for clients who already have therapeutic relationships elsewhere but require specialized medication management.
Neuropsychological Testing
Neuropsychological testing at DBH assesses a range of cognitive and psychological functions, providing valuable insights into a client's cognitive health. These assessments help identify issues that may impact memory, attention, problem-solving, and other cognitive abilities. The results are used to develop personalized interventions that enhance cognitive function and contribute to overall well-being.
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy is a significant offering at Dana Behavioral Health, providing a non-medication treatment option for depression, anxiety, and OCD. TMS therapy is known for its quick and effective results, often bringing significant relief within six weeks, and is widely covered by most insurance plans.
EMDR Therapy
DBH provides Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, a proven method for treating psychological trauma and anxiety. This approach uses dual attention stimuli to help clients process and desensitize distressing memories, often leading to substantial improvements in psychological distress and daily functioning.
Nutrition and Wellness
Understanding the intricate link between physical and mental health, Dana Behavioral Health offers a nutrition and wellness service that complements its mental health treatments. Clients receive personalized dietary and wellness advice from registered dietitians, helping them understand how nutrition impacts their overall health. This service supports a wide range of dietary and health needs, including metabolic conditions, cardiovascular health, and digestive disorders, integrating these aspects into a holistic approach to mental health care.
