What to Expect?

We begin by providing a comfortable, compassionate setting that promotes the building of a strong therapeutic alliance. It is our belief that a trusting, empathetic relationship is an important foundation for successful psychiatric care and mental health medication management. Psychoeducation becomes our next goal. We pay special emphasis on helping patients understand their illness and the available psychiatric medication and treatment options, ensuring the treatment choice is a mutual decision. We emphasize the importance of being transparent about the rationale for our treatment choice, the risk benefits of the mental health medications, and the expected prognosis of the illness. We work closely with patients and their families to provide comprehensive support and education about their treatment options.

Information is the recipe for success. Developing a keen and insightful knowledge of our patients is critical before diving into a treatment course. We obtain a thorough and comprehensive clinical history that is supplemented by psychiatric rating scales for various disorders such as depression, anxiety, OCD, and ADHD, as well as prior medical and mental health records, and if necessary, input by family and caregivers. Most of our new patients will have a full panel of labs and many will get genetic testing to determine how our genes effect psychiatric medication efficacy and tolerability.

Next, we will develop a personalized treatment plan. At our practice, we carefully assessing each individual’s unique needs and developing a customized psychiatric medication managemen regimen to optimize results. Our clinicians stay up-to-date on both the old and new. We are adept in using the very best of older traditional treatments as well as cutting-edge, novel therapeutics to ensure our patients receive the most effective medication management for mental health and treatments available. Our treatment plan is not limited to just medications. We use a Bio-Psycho-Social approach where lifestyle, coping skills, medical health, supplements, and adjunct technologies (such as light therapy and alpha stimulator treatment) are a pivotal part of the plan.

Our Philosophy

At Contemporary Care, we believe in combining science with personalized care. Our team uses evidence-based medicine to guide treatment, but we always tailor it to each person’s unique needs.

We work collaboratively—not in silos—so every patient benefits from our team’s shared knowledge and ongoing communication. Weekly team meetings and constant check-ins help us ensure the best possible care.

Our approach to medication management focuses on careful monitoring and timely adjustments to support lasting mental health. We don’t believe in repeating the same strategies that don’t work. Instead, we think creatively, using the latest advancements—from novel antidepressants to TMS, ketamine, and other therapies—to find real solutions.

We’re proud of our high success and satisfaction rates. Nearly 50% of our patients successfully graduate from care, often coming off medication entirely when clinically appropriate.

When you join CC, your wellness is our top priority.
