O U R A P P R O A C H

At TAC we offer ketamine infusions and ketamine assisted CBT as an adjunct treatment options for patient with treatment resistant depression or acute suicidal thoughts or actions. Although intravenous ketamine has not been FDA approved, current research indicates that it provides an important secondary approach to a significant number patients who may have exhausted more traditional means. Although it is likely that there are multiple mechanisms at play scientists believe that ketamine works by modulating the activity of a brain chemical called glutamate. This chemical then stimulates the growth of new synapses in that brain that help alleviate depressive symptoms. Although ketamine is not a treatment for everyone, it has been a life changing option for many.

Treatment Programs

Our center runs four separate programs. The first is our assessment program which conducts neuropsychological, psychoeducational, executive functioning, and autism evaluations. We focus on delivering accurate, timely, and accessible reports written for the family and directly linked to the child's or adult's intervention needs. Secondly, we have an anxiety program which treats the full range of anxiety and OC spectrum disorders. Treatment protocols in the anxiety clinic are heavily based on current research in exposure therapy, but include other cognitive behavioral strategies based on the individual needs of the patient. Thirdly, we have a mood disorders program which treats depressive disorders, bipolar spectrum disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, suicidality and self-harm. Treatment in our mood program focuses on core CBT, mindfulness-based treatment, and behavioral activation. The level of integration of each facet depends on the child's needs and response to treatment. Finally, our co-occurring behavior program will take on cases of oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, ADHD, and autism related agression and social skills development. This program is grounded in behavior analysis with moderate integration of cognitive techniques when indicated. While we do welcome all applicants, it will be important to consider if our approach to treatment is a good match for your interest and skill set. We value the contributions of all those in the mental health field, but one of our core values is to deliver treatment that is firmly established in scientific research.
