We would love to hear from you and discover how we can take your next steps forward.
Do you feel like anxiety is controlling your life?
Constant worry, restlessness, irritability, and difficulty concentrating can feel overwhelming. We help you understand the underlying causes and explore practical ways to manage triggers. Using evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices, we help you build resilience and develop healthier responses to stress.
In addition to therapy, our comprehensive psychiatry services provide expert evaluation considering medical, psychological, and environmental factors and treatment options, including medication management when appropriate. Our psychiatrists will collaborate with you to determine whether medication may be a helpful part of care. When medication is recommended, it is thoughtfully chosen, individualized to your needs, and integrated with therapy for the best outcomes.
Is depression making it hard to enjoy the things you once loved?
It can feel like an invisible weight, draining your energy, clouding your thoughts, and making even simple tasks feel overwhelming. These emotions often lead to isolation, anger, guilt, or frustration. Therapy can help you explore the underlying causes of these feelings, develop coping strategies, and rebuild connections with yourself and others. Additionally, our compassionate psychiatric team can provide personalized medical care, including evaluation and treatment options to help manage symptoms and restore balance. You can choose the support that feels right for you—or combine both for a comprehensive approach—so you can regain energy, hope, and a renewed sense of joy in your life. Together, we’ll work to restore peace, rebuild connections, and help you rediscover hope and joy in your life.
Are past experiences holding you back from living the life you deserve?
At Silver Birch, we understand how overwhelming life can feel when you’re carrying the weight of trauma. Our trauma therapy provides a safe, compassionate space for you to heal at your own pace. Using evidence-based approaches like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), we help regulate your nervous system, reshape emotional responses, and guide you toward a life where you feel grounded, empowered, and at peace.
In addition, our trauma-informed medication management focuses on addressing sympathetic overdrive, helping your body and mind feel calmer and more balanced. Both therapy and medication support are offered individually or together, giving you the flexibility to choose the care that best meets your needs.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the emotional challenges of pregnancy or new parenthood?
Bringing a new life into the world can be both joyful and overwhelming, and it’s normal to experience a wide range of emotions. At Silver Birch, we specialize in treating Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), offering support at every stage—from those considering starting a family to expecting parents and those navigating the first year postpartum. Our PMAD therapy provides a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to address postpartum depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and other perinatal challenges. Additionally, we have on-site psychiatrists if you’d like medication support, offering evaluations and personalized care, including medication when helpful. You can choose the support that feels right for you—or combine both—to feel confident, supported, and prepared during this transformative journey.
Are you struggling with intense emotional highs and lows that feel difficult to manage?
Bipolar disorder can bring moments of heightened energy and optimism, followed by periods of deep sadness, fatigue, or hopelessness. Navigating these fluctuations can feel overwhelming and isolating, but you don’t have to face them alone. At Silver Birch, we offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help you understand and manage the patterns of bipolar disorder. We also offer integrative psychiatry services with our fellowship trained doctors, who can offer ongoing medication management tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll work on stabilizing your mood, building coping strategies, and fostering resilience, so you can feel more balanced and in control of your life.
Do unwanted thoughts or repetitive behaviors feel like they’re taking over your life?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is more than just handwashing or checking—it can involve intrusive thoughts, mental rituals, or fears that disrupt your daily life. At Silver Birch, we offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard for treating OCD. Together, we’ll work to understand your triggers, reduce the power of intrusive thoughts, and build healthier responses to anxiety. Our psychiatric team is also available to offer guidance, personalized evaluations, and medication support if desired. You can choose therapy, psychiatry, or both—whatever feels right for you. With the right tools and support, you can reclaim your sense of control and find peace beyond OCD’s grip.
Are you struggling to cope with a major life change or stressful event?
Adjustment Disorder can arise when life transitions, such as a new job, a breakup, relocation, or loss, feel overwhelming. You might experience sadness, anxiety, irritability, or difficulty functioning in daily life. At Silver Birch, we provide a supportive therapeutic space to process these challenges, helping you develop effective coping strategies and find stability. Our psychiatric team is available if you’d like medication support, offering evaluations and guidance to help manage stress, regulate mood, and address symptoms that may be interfering with daily life. Together, we’ll work to restore your sense of balance and help you adapt to life’s changes with confidence and resilience.
Do you find yourself constantly preoccupied with perceived flaws in your appearance?
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) can create a persistent and distressing focus on physical imperfections, often leading to anxiety, avoidance of social situations, or repetitive behaviors like mirror-checking or seeking reassurance. At Silver Birch, we provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help you challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop a healthier relationship with your body, and reduce the emotional toll of BDD. Silver Birch also offers psychiatric support, which can give you an additional layer of tools and resources to feel more in control and regain balance. Both therapy and psychiatry are available individually or together, helping you build self-acceptance and reclaim a life not defined by appearance concerns.
Are restless nights and constant fatigue making it difficult to function during the day?
Insomnia can leave you feeling drained, irritable, and unable to fully enjoy life. At Silver Birch, we’ll help you explore the underlying causes of your sleeplessness and, when appropriate, use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), an evidence-based approach proven to improve sleep. Our psychiatric team is here as an option to provide care and guidance for sleep regulation, helping your body and mind feel calmer through a intentional and curated medication management plan. You can choose therapy, psychiatry, or both to feel refreshed and ready to take life in a balanced way.
Does your child struggle with intense fear or distress when apart from you or another caregiver?
Separation Anxiety Disorder is more than typical clinginess—it can include overwhelming worry about losing a loved one, refusal to go to school or activities, trouble sleeping alone, or physical symptoms like stomachaches and headaches. At Silver Birch, we provide a compassionate therapeutic space to help children process these feelings and develop healthy coping strategies. Using child-centered techniques like play therapy and family support, we work together to reduce anxiety and build confidence, so your child feels secure and supported as they navigate independence. We also have fellowship-trained child and adolescent psychiatrists that are available to evaluate if medication could be an additional support for your child as they navigate this stage of life.
Does your child struggle to form meaningful connections with others, or seem withdrawn and unresponsive to affection?
At Silver Birch, we provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy to help children build trust, develop emotional bonds, and foster secure relationships. Working closely with caregivers, therapy creates a supportive environment where children can heal and grow. Our psychiatric team can also provide evaluation and medical support if needed. Therapy and psychiatry can be accessed individually or together to strengthen the connections that matter most.
Are bedwetting or toileting accidents causing stress for your child and family?
Whether your child has never been fully potty trained or is experiencing a setback in their toileting progress, we understand how this can lead to feelings of embarrassment, frustration, or shame for both children and caregivers. At Silver Birch, we’ll explore the potential underlying emotional, behavioral, or physiological causes. Through tailored interventions, including medication management, we help children and families address these challenges, build confidence, and establish healthy routines, creating a path toward relief and success.
