Management

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is one of the most successful, evidence-based treatments for depression and anxiety disorders, including phobias, OCD, panic disorders and eating disorders. CBT is a time limited, highly structured, active, skills building treatment intervention. The benefit of this type of treatment is that if we can change the way we think, then we can change the way we feel and act, even if we can't change our situation.
Psychodynamic
Psychotherapy
Talk therapy is effective for a wide range of mental health symptoms, including depression, anxiety, panic and stress-related physical ailments. The treatment emphasis is self-examination, self-reflection and self-knowledge, with a goal towards the alleviation of symptoms and leading a healthier life. This can be short or long-term, depending on need.
Psychedelic
Medicine
Psychedelic medicine refers to the supervised, therapeutic use of certain psychoactive substances to help treat mental health conditions such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, and existential distress related to chronic illness.

At Coastal Psychiatric Services, our goal is to help patients access deep emotional insights, process trauma, and promote lasting psychological growth.
