What We Treat
Mood Disorders
Children, teens, and adults can be affected by mood disorders. We tailor treatments according to each person's experiences and needs, incorporating the latest research about effective treatments.
Health professionals use the term mood disorder to describe all types of depression and bipolar disorder. Mood disorders include major depression, dysthymia (dysthymic disorder), bipolar disorder, mood disorders induced by general medical conditions, and substance abuse disorders.
Where to begin
The treatments we utilize are evidence-based and seek to help children, adolescents, and young adults to successfully remedy symptoms and maintain their success over time.
An individual’s treatment may also involve parents and/or family members.
A Personal Approach
The clinicians at the Counseling Center Group take a personal approach to each patient and family, understanding that no two children, adolescents, or young adults are the same, and treatment should be tailored as needed.
