About Glendale

Cottonwood Psychiatry serves people from Glendale who want to discuss their concerns with a psychiatrist and explore an individualized plan for therapy, medication management, or a combination of services.
Psychiatric Medication Management and Therapy
Careful follow-up helps keep treatment aligned with your needs. Cottonwood Psychiatry provides medication management to review symptoms and treatment response over time. Therapy provides a space to discuss challenges, build understanding, and consider different ways to respond. Dr. McGuire can help you explore how these services might work together or whether one is appropriate on its own. For Glendale residents, treatment is shaped through discussion of personal goals and current concerns. Ongoing appointments offer opportunities to revisit recommendations and discuss changes in your experience.
Therapeutic Approaches for Different Needs
Psychotherapy can involve practical skill-building, deeper exploration, or both. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) addresses thought and behavior patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) includes mindfulness and interpersonal skills. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) explores values and responses to difficult internal experiences. Psychodynamic therapy considers the influence of earlier relationships and emotions. Cottonwood Psychiatry can help Glendale residents understand these options without expecting them to choose an approach in advance. Your concerns and preferences help guide the discussion about which therapeutic methods may be useful.
