PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATIONS

We offer a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to assess your mental, emotional, and behavioral well-being, diagnose mental health disorders, and develop individualized, holistic treatment plans.

A person-centered, holistic approach to care means truly seeing you as a whole person—not just a set of symptoms or a diagnosis. It’s about listening to your story, understanding your values, and respecting your unique needs and goals. Instead of one-size-fits-all solutions, this approach tailors care to what matters most to you.

It invites you to be an active partner in your own health journey, working side by side with your care team to create a path that feels right for you. 

MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING

Therapy is one of the most common services that we provide. Through the use of various psychotherapeutic techniques, ongoing sessions can help patients address and manage mental health issues.

 

In the months following this treatment, our patients often report improvements to their mental health and significant changes in their relationships with loved ones.

Renewal Wellness Center is committed to delivering ethical psychiatric care within the scope of our professional expertise. However, we reserve the right to decline a request for services under the following circumstances: Clinical Appropriateness: When the requested treatment is deemed clinically inappropriate, not evidence-based, or potentially harmful, based on the provider’s professional judgment. Scope of Practice: If the services requested fall outside the scope of the provider’s training, licensure, or clinical competency. Ethical or Moral Grounds: In accordance with the principle of conscientious objection, a provider may decline to participate in treatments that conflict with their professional, moral, or religious convictions. Patient Conduct: Services may be declined or discontinued if a patient exhibits threatening, abusive, or consistently noncompliant behavior that compromises the safety and integrity of the therapeutic relationship. Resource Considerations: In instances where clinical resources are limited, priority may be given to individuals with more acute or urgent mental health needs. This policy is enforced in accordance with applicable ethical guidelines and anti-discrimination laws. In such cases, every reasonable effort will be made to refer the patient to an appropriate alternative provider or resource to avoid abandonment of care.

TESTIMONIALS

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"Melissa just gets it."

From our very first session, I felt like I could finally breathe. She listened without rushing me, made me feel totally safe opening up, and helped me understand what was actually going on beneath the surface. I’ve seen a few providers in the past, but Melissa is different—she truly cares, and it shows. I leave each session feeling a little stronger and more hopeful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"Working with Melissa has been a game changer for me."
Before meeting her, I honestly felt stuck and overwhelmed. Melissa helped me figure out that I was dealing with ADHD—and for the first time, things started to make sense. She walked me through treatment options without pressure. I feel in control of my life now.
