Every individual's journey toward mental wellness is unique, which is why psychiatric services at Darien Wellness are tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of each client. We begin all our treatments with a psychiatric evaluation to understand our client’s case. Whether you're seeking relief from debilitating anxiety, struggling with the symptoms of depression, or facing challenges related to other mental health conditions, our team is here to provide compassionate care and support every step of the way.
In addition to providing general counseling, we also prescribe and monitor medication. Our psychiatric nurse practitioners collaborate closely with our team of therapists to ensure an integrated and holistic approach to medication management in New Haven, Connecticut. We believe in the importance of addressing the underlying causes of mental health issues and empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their treatment options.

Common Questions About Psychiatric Treatment
We sometimes see clients who are new to psychiatric treatment. If that’s the case for you, don’t worry—we’ll gladly answer any questions you may have, starting here:
Who Can Benefit From Seeing a Psychiatrist?
Psychiatric services are beneficial for individuals of all ages facing mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, or sleep difficulties. Our psychiatrists in New Haven offer online psychiatric services as well as in-person care, ensuring that everyone can get the treatment they need.
What Should I Expect During My Psychiatric Evaluation?
During an evaluation, your psychiatrist will review your health history, assess symptoms, and discuss your goals for treatment. This evaluation allows us to create a tailored care plan that may include therapy, medication, or a combination of both for the best results.
Can I Get Medication If I’m Already Seeing a Therapist?
Absolutely. At Darien Wellness, we favor an integrated approach. Medication management combined with mental health counseling is the best way to address symptoms while supporting long-term behavioral and emotional growth.
Is Telehealth as Effective as In-Person Visits?
They can be! Our virtual sessions are conducted through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms. Whether you choose in-person or online services, you’ll receive the same high level of care, guidance, and personalized treatment planning from your psychiatrist.
