Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is the treatment of a behavior disorder, mental illness or any other condition by psychological means and is a key component to treating psychiatric conditions. Psychotherapy helps patients see themselves and their problems more realistically and cope more effectively.

The doctor-patient model is used to diagnose and teach coping mechanisms for a behavioral disorder, mental illness or any other condition. Dr. Ahmad uses a collaborative approach that helps identify issues realistically and generate solutions to deal with them efficiently. Together, you will both formulate a comprehensive treatment strategy that utilizes one or more treatment methods in the manner that best suits your individual needs.

Psychopharmacology

Psychopharmacology is the treatment of psychiatric disorders through medicine. Our goal is to be sure each patient understands his or her symptoms, illness and diagnosis and can be an informed member of the decision making process.

Medication is started only after a careful analysis of the risk-benefit ratio and effectiveness is continually monitored. Concurrent medicines and family history will help determine the psychopharmaceutical treatment options and implementation.

  • Corporate Stress
  • Academic Difficulties
  • Phobias
