Fortis Behavioral Health provides psychiatric care for children, teens, and adults ages 6 and older.

We provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management for a wide range of conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, behavioral concerns, mood disorders, OCD, and many other mental health conditions.

This is a process intended to help our patients manage their symptoms, their medication schedules and any changes related to medications.  Our practice provides a guided and conservative approach to taking medications.  We will start with a discussion of your medical history and all past and current medications, including over the counter, supplements, and herbal remedies.  Patient education is a key component of our medication management process.  Education is provided on all prescribed medications, the correct usage and side effects and a plan for any adverse reactions. The goal of patient education allows for patients to take their medications at the right time, right dosage and to be aware of any dietary restrictions needed for proper use, understand expected effects and potential side effects.  This communication between the Prescriber and the patient allows for the safe and effective use of prescribed medications. Our practice uses conservative prescribing policies. We do not prescribe opioids and limit the prescribing of benzodiazepines to existing patients during acute transition periods.

Yes. We diagnose ADHD using both subjective screenings and object computer based testing for patients of all ages starting at age 6. 

Our Nurse Practitioner staff primarily provide medication management services. However, we offer Supportive Psychotherapy and Solutions Focused Therapy (SFBT) within the medication management appointments.

Supportive psychotherapy is a type of therapy that primarily focuses on providing emotional support, encouragement, and validation during difficult life circumstances or psychological challenges.

Supportive psychotherapy is mostly focused on helping you work through present and immediate concerns, including relationship issues, family conflicts, or work-related stress. If you have a history of trauma that feels overwhelming to try to approach head-on ― this therapeutic technique can help you improve your overall mental health before doing so.
