Bensalem Psychiatry—Talk to a Psychiatric Provider in Bensalem, PA

They can also offer treatment in the form of therapy as well as medication.

Our psychiatry staff can meet with you virtually after booking your appointment with one of our friendly scheduling assistants.

What Mental Disorders Can Psychiatrists Treat?

Psychiatric providers treat various mental health issues and disorders that greatly disturb a person’s mood, behavior, or thinking and negatively affect a person’s daily life and quality of living.

We all have bad days from time to time, and we also experience grief and loss. Our reactions to these experiences, whatever they may be, are normal. However, if symptoms don’t get better for an extended period of time, it might be a good idea to seek an experienced and compassionate psychiatric provider’s professional assistance.

Here are just a few mental disorders and behaviors a psychiatric provider can help treat:

  1. Depression: this disorder varies in intensity; however, moderate depression has two main symptoms – persistent low mood and a decreased interest in everyday activities. In addition, individuals with depression also may experience despair, guilt, low self-esteem, difficulty sleeping, and fatigue. The National Center for Health Statistics says that 4.7% of U.S. adults aged 18 and over report regular feelings of depression. Women are about twice as likely to experience depression as men, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
  2. Addictive Behaviors: these behaviors include familiar addictions such as alcohol, smoking,  prescription medications, food, and gambling. It can also include additions to shopping, sex, the internet, plastic surgery, and self-injury. Any of these addictive behaviors can have negative impacts on an individual’s daily functioning and relationships.
  3. Anxiety: anxiety disorders are serious mental issues that can cause a person to worry or fear so much that it tends to be a constant problem and strains an individual’s ability to carry out everyday activities at home, work, school, and within social circles. A variety of factors can contribute to anxiety, such as our environment, genetics, brain changes, trauma, and the amount of stress we carry. Like depression, anxiety is prevalent, and both are treatable with the assistance of a psychiatrist or another psychiatric provider.

What Does Treatment Look Like?

Every client will have different needs, so there is no standard treatment for mental disorders. Even people with the same diagnosis will have different experiences, needs, and goals for treatment.

Your psychiatric provider will want to first meet with you and have a chance to hear about your symptoms, medical history, and any other experiences or events that may play a role in how you think and feel.

A treatment plan may involve psychotherapy (also known as talk therapy), medication, and relaxation or mindfulness exercises a client can work on outside of counseling sessions. A course of treatment may involve cognitive behavioral therapy where the client explores his or her past experiences, relationships, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and learns how new, constructive ways of thinking will produce healthier behaviors and beliefs.

Cassie is an exceptional therapist! She was extremely understanding throughout and approached my issues in a way that made me feel heard. Cassie has many skills and helped me with coping strategies to get me through my challenges. I do not know how I would have got to where I am now without her support.

I wasn't sure what to expect from therapy, but Jamie put me at ease right away. She is a generous listener who let me explain my situation and my feelings about it without any kind of judgement. She patiently led me through the difficult path of healing, giving me concrete steps to take to process what happened and to move forward. I would recommend her to anyone, no question.

Jamie walked with me through a very difficult period in parenting a child with a chronic illness. She listens well, is compassionate, and helped me reframe my thinking when I was particularly discouraged and stuck. The fact that she could also integrate faith into our conversations made all the difference. I highly recommend working with Jamie!

First met frank in the mid 80's as he came to Phoenix Arizona as a certified surgical technologist & worked with him there in a level 1 trauma center. It wasn't much after his stay in Phoenix he returned to Philadelphia where he then became Philadelphia fire fighter, and his effort of doing that excelled to peaking position as Captain for the PFD. As a friend of Frank through all his dedication and motivation to higher education , that his commitment & dedication hadn't already been in progress . But as a friend to see what he has done and become to his educate himself to helping people in the community is second to none. But more than anything he's a great person and to have him as my friend all these years seen what he's done to keep helping people in the private sector, bravo frank !
