Need help resolving depression, anxiety, or streess?
Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health, since the two affect each other so critically. Unresolved anxiety, depression or stress not only sour the mood or relationships; it also increases the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and weakened immunity. Professional help, be it counseling or medication management or a combination of the two, allows you to begin untangling the sources of your distress and developing practical tools for coping, while moving toward a healthier biochemical equilibrium. Just as you would consult a doctor if you had persistent pain, involving a mental-health expert sooner rather than later can keep symptoms from spiraling, help you function better in your day-to-day life. It will ultimately enrich not just your quality of life, but the lives of all the people around you.
St George Mental Health Doctor FAQ's
What mental-health conditions do you treat?
Our clinicians focus on common mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, but they also address stress-related concerns, adjustment difficulties, and sleep problems that often travel alongside low mood. When a client’s needs fall outside our scope, we coordinate referrals so no one is left without support.
Do I have to take medication if I start therapy here?
No. Medication is one tool among many. Some clients thrive on talk therapy alone, while others find that a well-chosen antidepressant lifts energy and focus so counseling feels more productive. Your plan is always built around your values, preferences, and medical history.
How soon will medication begin to work?
Most modern antidepressants take two to six weeks to reach full effect, though many people notice subtler improvements—better sleep, steadier appetite—sooner. We schedule early follow-ups and offer secure messaging so you can report changes and we can fine-tune the dose rather than waiting for the next in-person visit.
Will my visits be kept confidential?
Absolutely. We follow all federal and state privacy laws, including HIPAA. Information is shared only with professionals you have authorized—such as your primary-care doctor or therapist—unless a true safety emergency requires otherwise.
Can my family be involved in my care?
With your written consent, we educate loved ones about warning signs, medication routines, and ways to create a supportive home environment. Many clients find that including family accelerates recovery and helps sustain progress.
What if I need help between appointments?
You can reach us through the patient portal for routine questions, and we maintain an on-call clinician after hours for urgent medication concerns. In a true crisis—thinking of harming yourself or someone else—call 911 or the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 immediately, then let us know so we can coordinate follow-up care.
How do I get started?
Call our front desk or submit the online appointment request form. Our team will respond within one business day to schedule your initial evaluation and send you the intake paperwork so you can begin your journey toward better mental health with confidence.
