Our Specialized Services
Psychiatric Medication Management
Psychiatric medication is one option for treatment. We offer insights and resources to help you decide if medication is right for you. With your consent, we will collaborate with you or your child’s community partners (such as teachers, therapists, and other providers) to create and adjust an even more effective treatment plan.
Medication will not be prescribed to you on the day of intake. We allow time for reflection, consideration, and choice.
A psychiatric evaluation is required for all new patients. Our psychiatric evaluation service offers a comprehensive assessment of your mental health needs. We utilize a thorough and compassionate approach, combining clinical interviews, diagnostic testing, and with consent, collaboration with other healthcare providers. Our goal is to understand your unique situation, identify any underlying conditions, and create a personalized treatment plan. We provide clear communication, detailed feedback, and ongoing support to ensure you receive the most effective care tailored to your specific needs.
Compassion 1st offers patient-led therapy to address a range of mental health concerns or life challenges. This is provided in a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions.

Motivation
Interviewing (MI)
MI is a person-centered, collaborative counseling approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and find their own internal motivation to change their behavior.
Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy (CBT)
A short-term, goal-oriented therapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts and actions. CBT aims to help people change thought patterns that lead to unhealthy or unproductive behaviors.

GeneSight
Psychotropic Testing
The GeneSight Psychotropic test analyzes how your genes may affect your outcomes with medications commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health conditions. The GeneSight Psychotropic test provides your clinician with information about which medications may require dose adjustments, may be less likely to work for you or may have an increased risk of side effects based on your genetic makeup.
Labs
We partner with trusted laboratories to facilitate a range of tests, from blood work to genetic screenings, helping to identify potential biological factors contributing to your mental health condition. By coordinating these essential tests, we provide you and your healthcare provider with valuable insights to inform and enhance your treatment plan.
