Access Diagnosis-Specific Support
Connections treats a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, mood, trauma, personality, and psychotic disorders. They also support clients facing less commonly addressed diagnoses, such as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), seasonal affective disorder (SAD), adjustment disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)—offering diagnosis-specific treatment for needs often overlooked in general mental health care.
Rely on Thoughtful Medication Management
Connections manages each client’s mental health prescriptions to ensure they are safe, effective, and tailored to the client’s unique health profile. They conduct detailed evaluations, reviewing mental and physical health history, diagnoses, and past and current medications. This thoughtful, collaborative approach helps achieve the best possible outcomes for the individual’s health and well-being.
Work Through Trauma, Not Around It
Connections understands trauma isn’t something clients simply “get over”—it must be worked through with care and expertise. Clients are met with empathy as they process painful experiences through eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Seeking Safety, and prolonged exposure therapy. When appropriate, medication is thoughtfully prescribed to ease anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances.
Find Relief for PTSD without Substances
Connections uses the Seeking Safety model to address the unique challenges faced by clients coping with PTSD and co-occurring substance use disorders. Seeking Safety provides a safe space to learn to manage PTSD symptoms without resorting to self-medication with addictive substances. Clients develop coping skills, emotional regulation, and resilience-building techniques.
