Medication Management
Medication management at Cottonwood Psychiatry is centered on careful evaluation and individualized treatment. Dr. Colleen McGuire reviews each patient’s symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, current medications, lifestyle, and treatment goals before determining whether medication is appropriate. When medication is recommended, treatment is monitored over time to evaluate effectiveness, tolerability, and any changes in symptoms.
Psychiatric medication may be one component of care for conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns. Dr. McGuire works directly with her patients during follow-up appointments, creating opportunities to discuss progress, address concerns, and make adjustments when clinically appropriate.
Therapy
Dr. Colleen McGuire provides virtual therapy that gives patients a confidential space to explore thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and personal experiences. Therapy can be helpful for individuals working through specific mental health concerns as well as those seeking greater self-awareness, improved coping strategies, or support during significant life changes.
Dr. McGuire incorporates evidence-based therapeutic approaches according to each patient’s needs and goals. Because appointments take place virtually, Acres Green residents can participate in therapy from home or another private location without adding a commute to their day. Treatment can also evolve as patients gain insight, develop new skills, and identify areas where additional support may be helpful.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Patients can learn to identify patterns that contribute to distress and practice alternative ways to interpret and respond to challenging situations. This structured approach can provide practical skills that extend beyond therapy sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance with strategies for creating positive change. Patients develop skills to navigate emotional distress, improve mindfulness, manage difficult situations, and strengthen interpersonal communication. The approach can help individuals respond more intentionally when emotions become particularly intense.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals change their relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions. Instead of letting uncomfortable internal experiences stop them, patients learn to acknowledge them, identify what matters to them, and take action aligned with their values.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy examines the deeper patterns that can influence emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Exploring past experiences and recurring interpersonal dynamics can help patients recognize connections between earlier experiences and current challenges.
