Medication Management
While medications can reduce symptoms associated with many conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD and ADHD they have little to no influence on the possibility that symptoms will return after they are stopped. Dr Fischer can help you make informed choices about the use of medications and also help you understand what else can be done to decrease the possibility that symptoms will recur after medications are stopped.
Psychotherapy
While psychotherapy can deliver short term and long term benefits, there are many different types of psychotherapy and, if applied incorrectly to the wrong condition, can actually result in no benefit and worsening condition. Dr Fischer can help you make choices about psychotherapy, provide psychotherapy or support your work with your current therapist. Psychotherapy should be able to help you:
Regain happiness and enjoyment of life
Improve functioning
Gain freedom from disruptive thoughts and emotions
