Contemporary Care Centers provide specialized mental health services designed for adults facing various psychological challenges. Our comprehensive approach addresses the needs of individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use disorders, and other mental health conditions that impact daily functioning.
Adult mental health treatment requires understanding the interconnected nature of work responsibilities, family obligations, financial pressures, and personal relationships. Our clinical team recognizes these factors when developing treatment plans that accommodate the realities of adult life while promoting recovery and wellness.
The consultation process begins with thorough assessment and evaluation, allowing our specialists to understand each client’s history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. This foundation supports the development of personalized care plans that address immediate concerns while building long-term coping strategies.
The initial consultation serves as the foundation for all subsequent treatment planning. During this comprehensive evaluation, our psychiatrists and licensed clinicians gather detailed information about current symptoms, medical history, previous treatment experiences, and psychosocial factors affecting mental health. Assessment tools and standardized questionnaires help identify specific mental health conditions and measure symptom severity. This systematic approach ensures accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment recommendations. The evaluation process typically requires 60 to 90 minutes, allowing sufficient time for thorough exploration of concerns. Family history, current medications, substance use patterns, and social support systems are all examined during the assessment. This holistic view enables our team to identify potential risk factors and protective elements that influence treatment planning.
Many adults seek consultation after receiving conflicting diagnoses or experiencing treatment that has not produced desired results. Our specialists provide diagnostic clarification services, conducting comprehensive reviews of previous evaluations and treatment approaches. Second opinion consultations offer valuable perspectives for individuals who remain uncertain about their diagnosis or treatment options. Our team reviews medical records, conducts new assessments, and provides clear explanations of findings and recommendations. Complex cases involving multiple mental health conditions require specialized expertise in differential diagnosis. Our psychiatrists have extensive experience identifying co-occurring disorders and developing integrated treatment approaches that address all relevant conditions.
Medication consultation services help adults understand their treatment options and make informed decisions about psychiatric medications. Our psychiatrists explain how different medications work, potential benefits and side effects, and expected timelines for improvement. Many adults have concerns about starting psychiatric medications or questions about their current prescriptions. Consultation appointments provide opportunities to discuss these concerns openly and receive evidence-based information about medication options. Medication optimization involves adjusting dosages, switching medications, or combining treatments to achieve better outcomes. Our psychiatrists work closely with clients to monitor responses and make necessary modifications to medication regimens.
Some adults experience mental health symptoms that do not respond adequately to standard treatment approaches. Our specialists have expertise in treating complex, treatment-resistant conditions using advanced pharmacological strategies and innovative treatment modalities. Consultation for treatment-resistant depression may involve exploring newer antidepressant options, augmentation strategies, or alternative treatments such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or ketamine therapy. Our team stays current with emerging treatments and research findings. Collaborative care approaches involve coordination with other healthcare providers to address medical conditions that may be impacting mental health treatment effectiveness. This comprehensive strategy ensures all factors contributing to treatment resistance are identified and addressed.
High-functioning adults in demanding careers face distinct mental health challenges related to workplace stress, performance pressure, and work-life balance. Our executive consultation services address these specific concerns while maintaining confidentiality and flexibility required by professional schedules.
Treatment approaches for professionals often emphasize practical strategies that can be implemented within busy schedules. Cognitive-behavioral techniques, stress management skills, and communication strategies help maintain professional performance while addressing mental health concerns.
Consultation services may include workplace accommodation recommendations, stress reduction planning, and strategies for managing anxiety or depression symptoms in professional settings. Our team understands the importance of maintaining career momentum while pursuing mental health treatment.
Adults who have experienced trauma require specialized treatment approaches that recognize the impact of traumatic experiences on mental health and daily functioning. Our trauma-informed consultation services provide comprehensive assessment and treatment planning for trauma-related conditions.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, and adjustment disorders require different treatment strategies. Our specialists conduct thorough trauma assessments to identify appropriate therapeutic interventions and support services.
Evidence-based trauma treatments including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure therapy are available through our consultation services. Treatment selection depends on individual needs, preferences, and clinical presentation.
Adults with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders require integrated treatment approaches that address both conditions simultaneously. Our consultation services include comprehensive evaluation of substance use patterns and their relationship to mental health symptoms.
Dual diagnosis treatment planning considers the complex interactions between substance use and psychiatric conditions. Some individuals use substances to self-medicate mental health symptoms, while others develop mental health problems as a result of substance use.
Integrated care coordination ensures that both mental health and substance use treatment components work together effectively. Our team collaborates with addiction specialists, medical providers, and other professionals to provide comprehensive care.
Many adults benefit from consultation services that help coordinate care among multiple providers. Our specialists review current treatment approaches, identify gaps in care, and make recommendations for additional services or modifications to existing treatment. Care coordination services include communication with primary care physicians, specialists, therapists, and other healthcare providers involved in treatment. This collaborative approach ensures all providers have current information and are working toward shared treatment goals. Treatment planning consultation helps adults understand their options and make informed decisions about their care. Our team provides clear explanations of different therapeutic approaches, expected outcomes, and time commitments required for various treatments.
Contemporary Care Centers maintains relationships with specialized providers throughout the community, enabling appropriate referrals when specific expertise is needed. Our consultation services include matching clients with therapists, support groups, and other resources that meet their particular needs. Referral services consider factors such as location, insurance coverage, therapeutic approach preferences, and scheduling needs. Our team provides detailed information about recommended providers and helps facilitate connections. Community resource consultation includes information about support groups, educational programs, vocational rehabilitation services, and other resources that support recovery and wellness goals.
Mental health concerns affect entire family systems, not just the identified client. Our consultation services include assessment of family dynamics, communication patterns, and relationship factors that may be contributing to or resulting from mental health symptoms. Family consultation sessions help identify strengths and challenges within relationships, providing recommendations for improving communication and support. These sessions may involve immediate family members, partners, or other significant relationships. Couples consultation addresses relationship issues that may be impacting mental health or recovery progress. Our specialists help identify patterns that contribute to distress and provide recommendations for couples therapy or other interventions.
Adults experiencing mental health crises require immediate assessment and safety planning. Our consultation services include crisis evaluation, risk assessment, and development of safety plans that help prevent dangerous situations. Safety planning involves identifying warning signs, coping strategies, support persons, and professional resources that can be accessed during times of crisis. These plans are developed collaboratively and reviewed regularly to ensure effectiveness. Crisis consultation may result in recommendations for higher levels of care, hospitalization, or intensive outpatient services. Our team provides guidance about appropriate treatment options and helps facilitate necessary transitions in care. Contemporary Care Centers remain committed to providing expert consultation services that help adults navigate mental health challenges while maintaining their personal and professional responsibilities. Our comprehensive approach ensures that each individual receives appropriate assessment, treatment planning, and ongoing support throughout their recovery journey.

Since I met Dr. Perera, I have been very impressed with his professionalism and quiet demeanor. He is very easy to talk with and I have become very comfortable with him in a very short time. I truly recommend dealing with him. The staff at Contemporary Care is most gracious as well and I feel that I can trust them.
