Our Approach to Mental Health Support
At Volusia Medical Center, we take a whole-person approach to helping with mental health, knowing that everyone's journey is different. We look at everything, like how you're feeling, what's going on in your life, and what you want to achieve. We do this by talking with you and learning about your challenges, strengths, and goals. Then, we come up with a plan that's just for you, using proven methods like talking therapy and, if needed, medication. We work together with you, making sure you're involved in decisions about your treatment and feeling empowered. We also create a safe, understanding space where you can share how you're feeling and get the support you need to start feeling better mentally.
Services We Offer for Mental Health Support
1. Individual Therapy
In our one-on-one counseling sessions, you can talk freely with a licensed therapist about how you're feeling. It's a private and safe place to discuss your thoughts, emotions, and actions. Together, we'll come up with ways to deal with challenges, learn more about yourself, and move forward positively.
2. Group Therapy
In our group sessions, you'll join others facing similar challenges in a supportive space. Led by trained leaders, these meetings are a chance to connect with others, share experiences, and learn new ways to handle tough situations together.
3. Medication Management
Our doctors and medical team specialize in evaluating, prescribing, and overseeing psychiatric medications to help ease symptoms and enhance mental well-being. We carefully assess if medications are suitable and keep a close eye on their effects to make sure they're safe and working well.
4. Crisis Intervention
When someone is going through a tough time, our urgent mental health support is here for them. We assess the situation, create safety plans, and connect them with the right help, like hospitals if needed, to make sure they get the care they need right away.
5. Teletherapy
We provide counseling sessions through video calls, making it easy for you to get support without leaving home. You can talk to a therapist from wherever you feel most comfortable, removing the hassle of travel and fitting appointments into your schedule.
6. Psychoeducation
Our educational programs help you learn more about mental health, treatments, and ways to take care of yourself. We share information through materials, workshops, and talks, so you can take charge of your mental well-being and know how to get the support you need.
7. Family Therapy
In our family sessions, we bring in your loved ones to help strengthen family bonds and communication. We focus on how your family works together and help everyone support each other better, which can make a big difference in your recovery.
8. Holistic Wellness Programs
Our programs focus on your overall health by combining different therapies like meditation, yoga, and art with counseling and nutrition advice. This helps you build strength and balance in your life, boosting your overall well-being.
