Psychiatric Services
We offer a full spectrum of psychiatric and therapeutic services, thoughtfully designed around your unique needs, goals, and life circumstances.
Psychiatric Evaluation & Diagnosis
At Bell Health, we offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis. Our assessment process is unique, as we take an affirming, strengths-based approach, ensuring our patients feel valued, understood, and in control of their care. To maximize treatment success, accurate assessment is essential, taking into account the multifactorial contributors to mental health, including the patient’s context and unique life circumstances. Our patients often remark on our genuine desire to partner with them, get to know them, and tailor our care to their needs and preferences.
Psychiatric Medication Management
Bell Health offers psychiatric medication management and considers medication a valuable tool for optimizing mental health in many cases. We work collaboratively with each patient to determine the treatment approach that most effectively meets their goals, preferences, and needs for mental health and well-being. Medication management services can include prescribing and deprescribing medication, depending on the patient’s goals for their care.
Psychotherapy
We offer a wide range of evidence-based psychotherapy modalities, each tailored to the individual needs of our patients.

Skills Coaching

These skills can be applied to enhance well-being, manage stress, strengthen relationships, and improve overall health. Skills training can be provided alongside medication management, psychotherapy, or as a standalone service.
Pharmacogenomic Testing
Pharmacogenomic testing, also known as genetic testing, reveals how a patient’s unique genetic makeup influences how they are likely to respond to specific medications. This non-invasive test can inform our selection of the right medication and dose for you, increasing the likelihood that your medication regimen will be effective and minimizing the likelihood of side effects.
Online Telehealth Therapy
Our secure telehealth platform allows us to meet with patients where they are, in many cases, improving the accessibility of our services. We offer a wide range of services, including medication management, psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis, psychotherapy, and skills coaching via telehealth.
Conditions We Treat
Bell Health provides individualized, evidence-based care for a wide range of mental health conditions. Expand any condition below to learn more.
Anxiety
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a mental and physical state of negative anticipation that prepares the body and mind to respond to potential danger. While occasional anxiety is natural and can be helpful by increasing alertness and motivation, excessive or persistent anxiety can interfere with daily functioning and become a disorder. Anxiety often co-occurs with depression and can be influenced by biological factors and early life experiences. Although it cannot and should not be eliminated entirely, anxiety can be effectively managed through therapy, medication, and healthy lifestyle practices.
Common Symptoms:
Common symptoms include restlessness or feeling on edge, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances. People may also experience physical symptoms such as rapid heart rate, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, dizziness, and gastrointestinal distress.
Treatment:
An anxiety disorder is a medical condition that needs proper treatment and cannot be overcome simply through willpower or a change in attitude. At Bell Health, we will create an individualized treatment plan based on your needs, which may include medication, psychotherapy, or lifestyle changes.

Depression
What is Depression?
Depression is a mental health disorder marked by ongoing sadness and a loss of interest in activities. It affects a person’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, and can cause both emotional and physical difficulties that interfere with daily life. Depression is not a sign of weakness and cannot be overcome by simply “snapping out of it".
Common Symptoms:
Common symptoms include persistent low mood or loss of interest or pleasure in activities, changes in appetite or weight, sleep disturbances, fatigue or low energy, and slowed or agitated movements. People may experience feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.
Treatment:
Medications and psychotherapy are effective for most people with depression. At Bell Health, we will create an individualized treatment plan based on your needs, which may include medication, psychotherapy, or lifestyle changes.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
What is OCD?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involves unwanted thoughts, or obsessions, that trigger repetitive behaviors, or compulsions, which interfere with daily life. These compulsive acts temporarily relieve stress, but the intrusive thoughts keep returning, creating a cycle. OCD is treatable.
Common Symptoms:
Common symptoms include obsessions, recurrent, intrusive, and unwanted thoughts, urges, or images that cause distress and compulsions, which are repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to reduce that distress. While OCD is commonly portrayed in the media as involving visible rituals like checking and handwashing, compulsions can also occur mentally or internally, so they may be less obvious to others. A thorough evaluation is key to determining the cause of your symptoms and the best available treatment.
Treatment:
The two main treatments for OCD are psychotherapy and medicine. Often, a mix of both treatments is most effective. At Bell Health, we will provide a thorough evaluation that will serve as the basis for your individualized treatment plan.

Mood swings can be occasional or frequent, with some people experiencing mixed symptoms or long stable periods in between.
Treatment:
The main treatments for bipolar disorder include medicine and psychotherapy. At Bell Health, we will create an individualized treatment plan based on your needs, which may include medication, psychotherapy, or lifestyle changes.

Trauma & PTSD
What is Trauma?
Psychological trauma is emotional distress caused by threatening or harmful events that overwhelm a person’s ability to cope, whether from a single incident or repeated experiences. Trauma can disrupt one’s sense of safety and lead to repeated intrusive thoughts, heightened threat sensitivity, and changes in brain function.
Common Symptoms:
Common symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) include intrusions, such as distressing memories, nightmares, or flashbacks of the trauma, and avoidance, trying to stay away from reminders of the event, including certain places, people, or thoughts. PTSD can also cause negative changes in mood and cognition, like persistent negative beliefs, distorted self-blame, loss of interest in activities, feelings of detachment, or inability to feel positive emotions. Additionally, it can lead to altered arousal and reactivity, including irritability, reckless behavior, hypervigilance, exaggerated startle response, difficulty concentrating, or sleep problems.
Treatment:
The main treatments for PTSD include medicine and psychotherapy. At Bell Health, we will create an individualized treatment plan based on your needs, which may include medication, psychotherapy, or lifestyle changes.
