Our Customized Treatment Model
At Principium Psychiatry, care is tailored to your needs. We offer general psychiatry and specialized treatment services to address specific conditions. The following services are available at our Greenwich location.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, offers an opportunity to discuss thoughts and feelings aloud. A trained psychotherapist will sit with you and help guide your discussions to reach the root of your concerns. Your past experiences can impact how your brain functions, and psychotherapy provides a safe, controlled space to develop healthy coping mechanisms and skills.
Psychotherapy can focus on these conditions and more:
- Mood disorders
- Anxiety disorders
- Substance use disorders
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Attentional disorders
Psychopharmacology
Psychopharmacology focuses on the medication aspect of psychiatry to treat mental health conditions. For some, prescription drugs can help manage brain chemical imbalances and improve symptoms. If your treatment includes psychopharmacology, your health provider will monitor the medication and adjust doses as needed.
Several medication options may be available depending on your condition. Each medication can target specific symptoms and lessen the disorder’s effect on your body. Some of these include:
- Antidepressants
- Antipsychotics
- Stimulants
- Anti-anxiety medications
- Mood stabilizers
Ketamine Therapy
When depression is severe, it can become resistant to specific treatments. Ketamine therapy may be an effective treatment option when other approaches have been unsuccessful. Ketamine therapy is an IV treatment, directly supplementing the bloodstream with small doses of anesthetic ketamine as an antidepressant. Many studies have confirmed the usage of ketamine in this way, showing it as a rapid, effective treatment option.
TMS Treatment
Like ketamine therapy, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can be an effective treatment option if severe depression persists through medications and talk therapy. TMS is safe and noninvasive, working to send electric pulses through the brain through a wire coil against the scalp. The treatment targets several receptors in the brain and stimulates them to produce neurotransmitters and other pathways involved in mood regulation.
Telepsychiatry
Are you in the area, but still a bit of a distance away from our offices or unable to come in? Our telepsychiatry services are available to patients in the New York City and Greenwich areas. This convenient service allows you to access sessions from your home. All you need is a webcam and a computer with an internet connection.
