Services
Dr. Reddy treats adult patients in her private practice. She primarily provides psychotherapy services as the skills learned in therapy can offer long lasting benefits. However, in some instances, if clinically indicated, she may suggest a combination of therapy and medications so they can work synergistically to more rapidly improve your symptoms.
INITIAL APPOINTMENT
The initial appointment is a consultation and may take place over one or more visits depending on your needs and the clinical complexity. This consultation will help determine the nature of your symptoms and concerns as well as assess whether the services provided by Dr. Reddy are appropriate for your psychiatric care needs. This will also be an opportunity for you to see if Dr. Reddy's approach to treatment aligns with your treatment goals. At the conclusion of the consultation, diagnostic impressions and formal treatment recommendations will be provided. If your care needs exceed what can safely be provided in Dr. Reddy's private practice, referrals to local providers or treatment centers will be provided.
PSYCHOTHERAPY
Psychotherapy or "talk therapy" offers a conduit for self-reflection and self-improvement. Psychotherapy aims to help reduce feelings of distress, allow better insight into one's values and goals, improve interpersonal relationships, help reduce stress, improve problem-solving, and make you more resilient to life's challenges through a deeper understanding of self. Based on your preferences and needs, a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or a psychodynamic psychotherapy approach will be primarily utilized (with incorporation of elements from other therapies to augment psychotherapeutic work when clinically appropriate). Dr. Reddy provides psychotherapy in a warm, supportive, safe, and non-judgmental environment and uses psychotherapeutic approaches such as guided discovery, setting of small achievable goals, exploration of one's past, and identifying maladaptive patterns to jumpstart your journey of self-discovery so you can start living your best life. Weekly appointments are the norm but biweekly appointments (twice a week or once every 2 weeks) may also be accommodated upon request.
PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY (Psychiatric Medication Management)
When psychotherapy alone is not providing adequate improvement of your symptoms, or when symptoms are adversely affecting your daily life, medications may help. If medications are recommended, you will be provided the information you need to make an informed decision about which medication is right for you. Dr. Reddy employs a "less is more" approach with medications and strives to utilize the lowest dose of the least number of medications needed to improve psychiatric symptoms while minimizing side effects. Appointment frequency varies between once every 2 weeks to once every 3 months based on your individual needs and response to medication(s).
