Cognitive stimulation

In cases an individual already has been in contact with a doctor and following a diagnosis have a recomandation for cognitive stimulation, we can address this performing recurring activities that can enhance memory, attention and thinking. Also during a session members of the family get counseling about how to deal with the situation.

Other evaluations

Evaluations for anxiety, depression,  personality, can be done as part of the therapeutic process or as clinical evaluation. 

In particular situations, when the condition of an individual is not safe to be managed with talk therapy alone, your therapist might consider a more comprehensive therapy plan, including medical professional consultation.

Conditions such as severe depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, or certain types of trauma or psychosis often require a psychiatrist to assess the individual’s condition, diagnose any underlying mental health disorders, and provide guidance for the best treatment options, which may include medication needed to help manage symptoms and stabilize mood or behavior.

If an individual is contemplating suicide emergency psychiatric intervention or hospitalization may be required for their safety.
