Conditions Treated

• Depression

Depression is more than just feeling sad—it's a persistent mental health condition that affects how you feel, think and handle daily activities. Our treatment approaches help address symptoms such as persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, changes in sleep or appetite and feelings of worthlessness, restoring hope and improving your quality of life.

• Anxiety

Anxiety disorders involve excessive worry, fear or nervousness that can interfere with daily functioning and relationships. We help patients manage various forms of anxiety, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder and social anxiety, through evidence-based therapies and medication management that reduce symptoms and build effective coping skills.

• Postpartum Depression and Anxiety

After childbirth, some women experience depression or anxiety that goes beyond the “baby blues.” These symptoms can include sadness, irritability, guilt, worry, or trouble bonding with the baby. We provide compassionate care that helps new mothers feel supported, understood, and equipped with tools to manage these challenges.

• ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)

ADHD affects both children and adults and can lead to challenges with focus, restlessness, and impulsive behavior that make school, work, and relationships harder to manage. While often associated with boys, ADHD also affects girls and women—though it’s sometimes missed or misdiagnosed, especially when coping strategies mask the symptoms. Our approach includes a thorough assessment and a treatment plan that may combine therapy, practical tools for managing daily life, and medication when needed, all tailored to each person’s needs.

• Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder involves dramatic shifts in mood, energy and activity levels, cycling between manic highs and depressive lows that can disrupt daily life. Our specialized treatment approaches focus on mood stabilization, recognition of episode triggers and development of strategies to manage symptoms and maintain functionality during all phases of the condition.

• OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)

OCD is characterized by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that some people feel driven to perform. We provide specialized cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques and medication options that help patients reduce the intensity of obsessions and compulsions, diminishing their impact on daily life.

• PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)

PTSD develops after experiencing or witnessing traumatic events, causing flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety and uncontrollable thoughts about the experience. Our trauma-informed care approaches include specialized therapies designed to process traumatic memories, reduce reactivity to triggers and restore a sense of safety and control.

• Eating Disorders

Eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder involve severe disturbances in eating behaviors and related thoughts and emotions. Our multidisciplinary approach addresses both the psychological aspects and physical complications of these disorders, helping patients develop healthier relationships with food and body image.

• Substance Abuse

Substance use disorders involve patterns of alcohol or drug use that lead to significant impairment, health problems and failure to meet responsibilities. Our integrated treatment programs combine counseling, behavioral therapies, support groups and, when needed, medication-assisted treatment to address addiction and underlying mental health conditions simultaneously.

• Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder characterized by disruptions in thought processes, perceptions, emotional responsiveness and social interactions. Our outpatient care includes medication management, psychosocial therapies and family education to help manage symptoms, prevent relapse and improve functioning and quality of life.

• Mental Health Disorders Linked with Other Medical Conditions

Many people experience mental health challenges that occur alongside physical health conditions such as dementia, chronic pain, gastrointestinal disorders and other medical issues. Our integrated approach recognizes the complex interplay between physical and mental health, providing coordinated care that addresses both aspects to improve overall well-being and functioning.

Pediatric Outpatient Services

SIH provides compassionate mental health services tailored specifically for children and adolescents, ages six and older. Our child-focused approach addresses the unique mental health needs of young patients, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues and trauma responses. Our pediatric specialists create age-appropriate treatment plans that incorporate family involvement, school coordination and developmentally suitable therapeutic techniques to help young people build emotional resilience and healthy coping strategies during crucial developmental years.

Specialized Therapy Support for Cancer and Bariatric Patients

We recognize that certain medical journeys come with distinct emotional and psychological challenges. For cancer patients, our specialized therapy services address the complex emotions, body image concerns, treatment anxiety and life adjustments that accompany diagnosis and treatment. Similarly, our bariatric program provides essential psychological support before and after weight loss surgery, helping patients navigate emotional relationships with food, body image changes and lifestyle adjustments. These integrated mental health services work in close coordination with medical teams to support the whole person throughout their treatment journey, improving outcomes and quality of life.
