Mental Health Services for Baton Rouge & Southeast Louisiana

In the world of mental health, every patient arrives with a unique set of gifts and challenges. At Collaborative Minds, our goal is to provide the kind of care that both recognizes your gifts and respects your challenges as you travel down the road to wellness.
 
A common misconception is that psychiatry and psychology are interchangeable, but this misconception hides an important distinction. True, both fields of study treat conditions in the brain and mind, but psychiatry, unlike psychology, is a medical discipline, requiring medical degrees of its practitioners and focusing on rigorous scientific treatments for its conditions.
Our goal is to provide the kind of care that both recognizes your gifts and respects your challenges as you travel down the road to wellness.

We emphasize patient education

We also emphasize patient education, teaching you about the way your medication works so that you have a clear understanding of the way that it acts on your brain (and, subsequently, mind and body). Psychiatric medications do not act in the same way as other medications, and most patients experience results only after several weeks of treatment. Because of this different timescale, we monitor your progress closely, particularly in that first 6-8 week window of exposure to the medication.
 
While every case is different, in general, patients can expect regular follow-up appointments during that time to monitor their medication, and to determine whether any adjustments are necessary. As a medical clinic—not a therapist’s couch—we evaluate for your specific conditions, and continue our diagnostic process throughout the lifespan of your care.
