Integrated Psychiatric & Therapeutic Care

At STMHA, your psychiatrist and therapist work together, not in separate silos. Medication and therapy are part of the same plan. Click through each step to see how it works.

01
Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation

We start by getting a full picture. Before any treatment decisions are made, your provider reviews your history, current symptoms, and any other conditions that may be affecting you. This step matters because the wrong diagnosis leads to the wrong treatment.

What happensFull psychiatric history, symptom review, and screening for co-occurring conditions
WhenYour first appointment, before any treatment begins
WhoA board-certified psychiatrist or PMHNP at your nearest location
02
Tailored Treatment Planning

Your care plan is built around you. We choose medications and therapy approaches based on your specific diagnosis, history, and goals. Nothing is copy-pasted from another patient. And as you progress, the plan gets updated.

What we decideWhich medications, which therapy approach, and how often you're seen
How often reviewedAt every appointment as your needs change
The goalA plan that fits your situation, not a standard template
03
Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustment

Mental health treatment takes time to get right. Your provider checks in on how you're feeling, what's working, and what isn't. Dosages get adjusted, therapy approaches shift, and your plan changes as you do.

What we trackHow your symptoms are responding, any side effects, and day-to-day functioning
What can changeDosage, medication, therapy type, or how often you come in
The pointYour treatment shouldn't stay the same if you're not
04
Coordinated Care Team

Your psychiatrist and therapist actually talk to each other. They share what they're seeing and align on your care. This matters most for patients dealing with more than one condition at the same time, like PTSD and depression or ADHD and anxiety.

Who talksYour psychiatrist and therapist, directly with each other
Why it helpsWhen conditions overlap, your providers need to be on the same page
