Mental Health Services in Wasilla, Alaska

Mental health disorders are chronic, long-term medical conditions that affect the way we think and feel. They can affect anyone regardless of age, race, gender or social status and symptoms can be severe enough to disrupt everyday life. Those suffering from a mental health condition may find it difficult to go to work or school, establish healthy relationships, accomplish ordinary tasks and cope with stress on a daily basis. Without treatment, these symptoms can worsen and interfere with one’s quality or enjoyment of life.

Two common mental health concerns that we often treat include anxiety and depression. Anxiety disorders cause extreme feelings of stress and worry that interfere with aspects of daily living, and depression is a mood disorder characterized by persistent and ongoing feelings of intense sadness. We all feel down or anxious from time to time, but the symptoms caused by these disorders won’t get better on their own and negatively impact the health, lives and relationships of those affected.

Achieve Medical Center is proud to offer a wide array of mental health services in Wasilla, Alaska. Mental health disorders like anxiety and depression affect people from all walks of life, and our providers work closely with patients and their families to help them find relief from their symptoms.

What Psychiatric Services are Available in Wasilla?

Proven Psychotherapies

Psychotherapy, sometimes known as talk therapy, is an effective way to help people with a broad range of mental health concerns. In psychotherapy, patients work one-on-one with a mental health counselor to identify the root of their suffering and find new ways to cope with challenging symptoms and situations. There are many different kinds of psychotherapy available, but common approaches include individual and group therapy, play therapy and behavioral therapy. Psychotherapy techniques often incorporate tools like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic psychotherapy to inspire positive changes that help patients take charge of their mental health. This approach is effective and often provided in conjunction with other treatments for anxiety and depression, including the use of medication.

Pharmaceuticals

The use of pharmaceutical medications to manage and treat mental health disorders is known as psychopharmacology. Effective treatment with psychiatric drugs begins with a thorough evaluation of symptoms and assessment of the benefits that a certain medication may have on a person’s thoughts, mood and behaviors. This is a collaborative process, where patients and doctors work together to find the right combination of psychiatric medications for optimal health and symptom relief. Psychopharmacology also involves ongoing medication management and regular follow-ups or adjustments to ensure that patients achieve the best long-term results.

Neuropsychological Evaluation and Assessment

Evaluation and assessment tools are used to determine an individual’s thinking, behavior and level of social and emotional functioning. By using standardized tests and procedures, psychiatric evaluations can be administered to both children and adults and help guide the development of individualized treatment plans. This ensures that each patient receives the right diagnosis and level of care for their symptoms, allowing us to provide the best possible treatment plans.    

Postpartum Depression Treatment

Treatment for women experiencing postpartum depression is an important intervention that addresses the sadness, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, insomnia and other distressing symptoms that impact some women after childbirth. In the U.S., postpartum depression affects up to 1 in 7 women after pregnancy but can get better with the right treatment — usually a combination of medication, psychotherapy and improved self-care. Each woman is different, however, and we work closely with new mothers and their families to come up with a treatment plan that prioritizes not just their recovery but the health and well-being of their baby as well.

My psychiatrist (technically an NP) Brittany Watson is incredibly helpful and competent-- because I wasn't in crisis she had me get blood work done instead of throwing more medications at the wall to see if they stick. My therapist Dr. Elva Hoxie is also very respectful and knows what she's doing. And, they take my insurance (blue shield HMO Magellan), which virtually no one else does.

I want to write a review because I have had great care. The doctors were very patient, and when the NP - Kristin was not available, Dr. Inamdar came in on a holiday on memorial day and spent time with us, and other patients so there would be continuity of care. Kudos to the kindness and professionalism. Thank you Dr Inamdar.
