Capitol Associates Services:

General Psychotherapy: Psychotherapy, once called the "talking cure", can be extremely useful to help people recover from past hurts, change maladaptive patterns of behavior and achieve life goals. A wide range of psychotherapeutic approaches are utilized by our clinicians for children, adolescents, and adults. Psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and supportive psychotherapy are only some of the options available. Psychotherapy may involve just the individual or may include spouses/significant others and family members. Short and long-term group therapy is also offered. After an initial assessment, you and your therapist will decide which approach (or approaches) is/are best for meeting your needs and goals.

Couples/Family Therapy: Many of our clinicians work with couples and families to improve their relationships and functioning. Marital problems, divorce issues, parent/child relationship concerns and sibling conflicts are some of the issues that can be addressed in psychotherapy.

Psychopharmacology: Sometimes the quickest route back to recovery from a psychiatric disorder involves medication. Our psychiatrists are available to see patients for medication evaluations and follow-up treatment. This is frequently in conjunction with psychotherapy with another clinician.

Anxiety/Mood Disorders: Anxiety and depression are extremely common psychiatric conditions affecting up to 20% of the population. Our clinicians are experts at diagnosing and treating a wide range of mood and anxiety disorders including: major depression, dysthymia, bipolar disorder (also known as manic-depression), post-partum depression, seasonal affective disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
