Psychiatric and Medical Support

What are psychiatric and medical support services?

Psychiatric services support individuals through a holistic model of health, where mental and physical health are collectively viewed rather than separately considered. It could be beneficial for assessment of experience or symptoms, level of function, or questions about what treatments may be most beneficial. You can access both psychiatric services while you are utilizing other services.

Insight Counseling has clinician Brittany Hamm, a nurse practitioner certified in psychiatric-mental health and family practice, who provides psychiatric services. She collaborates with other Insight clinicians whenever an individual sees others to provide collaborative treatment planning.

Some examples of what could be addressed through psychiatric services:

• Medication management: discussing treatment with medications to support daily function and reduce the severity of mental health symptoms.

• Reducing medical treatment: working to reduce or taper medications or other medical interventions when no longer necessary.

• Lifestyle management: discussion and education about managing health through lifestyle changes in nutrition, physical activity, sleep regulation, etc.

• Support for chronic conditions: education about medical conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, and how this can impact mental health symptoms and function.

Please note the following: Insight does not offer primary care services. Insight does not provide prescriptions for controlled medications for Telehealth only.
