CLINICAL CONSULT & THERAPY
Clinical Consultation
A clinical consult allows private sharing of information and discussion on diagnosis, therapy with the psychiatrist or therapist.
A regular clinical session is usually scheduled for 30 minutes and this would suffice for most reviews and initial inquiry.
For new clients and psychotherapy (art therapy, hypnotherapy, EMDR), consecutive sessions of clinical consultations may be required. Cost of consultations will vary depending on the duration and type of therapy.
Stress, Adjustment and Traumatic Stress
Stress-related disorders occur when a person’s mental coping capacity is overwhelmed. This can occur during an unexpected event eg accident, assaults, or when trying to adapt to challenging new environments such as military service or changes in relationship.
If untreated, symptoms and signs may worsen. Evidenced-based treatment include eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), clinical hypnosis and medication.
Grief
Grieving is a personal journey during which the emotional and thinking parts of the brain try to process a personal loss that is difficult to accept and comprehend.
Sometimes, the grief may be overwhelming leading to behavioral and mood disturbances. It is recommended that psychiatric consultation be sorted when this occurs.
