At Valor Health, we cater to individuals and families in need of a diagnosis and those who already have a diagnosis in need of medication management. At Valor Health, we get a thorough history by asking detailed questions to get to know the patient better and to understand both the medical and mental health needs.
After the detailed history is taken, we then set up a personalized psychiatric care plan which involves medication management, therapy, or a combination as the providers deem fit. We also refer patients to therapists who specialize in a wide range of mental health and behavioral issues.
We provide psychiatric evaluations for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. The Valor Health team can prescribe any class of medications that is appropriate for the patient. However, treatment for mental health issues and addiction often goes beyond medication, and we are clear about what medication can and cannot address.
