Treatment Approach
Dr. Hendizadeh provides a nurturing space for people to freely express themselves and treats conditions based in the biopsychosocial model. Meaning that mental illnesses often have a biologic component (e.g. related to genetics, hormones, neurotransmitters), psychological (e.g. related to life experiences) and occur in social contexts; all aspects are considered and addressed to alter the course of psychiatric illness. She makes evidence-based treatment recommendations that are based on each unique individual’s symptoms and life history. Treatment may include specific forms of therapy and sometimes medications as indicated to improve quality of life. Lifestyle changes may also be encouraged that can help with achieving and maintaining optimal outcomes.
