Midsouth Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (MCAP) provides an inclusive and welcoming environment for behavioral health services, including psychiatric medication management, individual or group therapy, and psychological testing.
MCAP believes in meeting children and adolescents where they are to understand the “why” behind feelings, behaviors, and challenges. Our approach reflects our knowledge of early development and neuroscience.
Our providers focus on empowering self-efficacy, emotional regulation, and mindfulness-based stress reduction through trauma-informed psychiatric evaluations, medication management, wellness programming, and patient-centered counseling services.
The initial wellness evaluation visit provides an opportunity for the patient to share their mental health concerns with the provider and for the provider to offer a holistic clinical psychiatric assessment and diagnosis. Based on the patient provider partnership, treatment goals and an intervention program will be developed.
The intervention program consists of medication management, when necessary, partnered with mindfulness-based interventions, nutritional support, sleep hygiene guidance, mental health education, and coping skills development. Mindfulness-based interventions support brain activity in the window of tolerance to promote optimal functioning and self-regulation to help find balance between states of hyper-and hypo-arousal.
Therapeutic patient-centered counseling working towards goals and objectives agreed upon by provider and patient.
Therapeutic peer support groups led by our mental health provider for the purpose of developing acceptance, support, and commitment towards overall mental health.
