Here for You Every Step of the Way
Kailee's Approach To Treatment
My approach for the first session is to get to know you and your goals for treatment. I will always ask if you want to rebook with me and I want you to tell me if you don't find something helpful. I believe in person-centered treatment with the client always being the focus to help you be the most successful. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD and ADHD but can also help with any presenting concerns you may have.
In sessions, I will be a guide for you on your journey and help you navigate the challenges you face through supportive listening and cognitive restructuring. I mainly use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) but also can integrate EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to help clients struggling with trauma.
For clients seeking medication only, the approach I use is similar with appointments being more focused on medication changes or updates but also looking at how effective the medication actually is. I never change more than one medication at a time without good reason and will always allow time for questions or concerns. My initial appointments are always 1 hour and follow ups are at least 30 minutes. I find allowing for more time, allows a client more time to ask questions and voice any concerns they may have.

How do I know what type of therapy I may need at Resilient Minds Psychiatry?Determining the right type of therapy for your specific needs at Resilient Minds Psychiatry involves a few key steps. Firstly, consider what goals you have for therapy—are you looking to reduce stress, manage addiction, cope with grief, or improve relationships? Once you have a clear objective, schedule an initial consultation with one of our licensed therapists. During this consultation, the therapist will conduct a thorough assessment, discussing your mental health history, current concerns, and any previous treatment experiences. This helps tailor a therapy plan specifically for you, which could include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, or another modality that best suits your situation. Additionally, our team at Resilient Minds Psychiatry stays updated with the latest therapeutic methodologies, ensuring you receive the most effective treatment. If you're ever unsure or want to explore different therapy options, our specialists are here to guide you through your journey toward better mental health.
