DBH's Services
Individual, Couple, Family, and Group Therapy
At Dana Behavioral Health, the approach to therapy is personalized and evidence-based, focusing on meeting the unique mental health goals of each client. Their team of compassionate outpatient psychiatrists and therapists helps clients navigate challenges, enhance mental health, and cultivate healthier relationships.
DBH's therapy services extend to family and couples therapy. They aim to improve interpersonal dynamics, address struggles, and foster positive relationship strategies.
Medication Management
Prioritizing efficient access to medication management services, Dana Behavioral Health ensures a streamlined intake process to facilitate quick and effective treatment outcomes. Their prescribers work in tandem with therapists to deliver integrated, comprehensive mental health care that respects each client's unique treatment needs.
Clients may access medication management services independently of therapy services at DBH, with prescribers adept at collaborating with external therapists for those maintaining established therapeutic relationships elsewhere.
Neuropsychological Testing
Dana Behavioral Health offers extensive neuropsychological testing for adults, adolescents, and children. These evaluations assess various cognitive abilities, such as reading, language skills, attention, learning, processing speed, reasoning, memory, problem-solving, mood, and behavior.
The insights gained from these assessments enable DBH's psychiatrists and psychologists to craft targeted strategies to optimize cognitive function and improve overall quality of life.
TMS Therapy
DBH provides Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), an FDA-approved, medication-free treatment option for depression, depressive anxiety, and OCD. TMS therapy, available in their Hanover and Needham locations, is distinguished by its lack of systemic side effects, with many clients experiencing significant symptom relief within six weeks.
EMDR Therapy
Dana Behavioral Health also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. This treatment is effective for trauma and anxiety-related conditions, utilizing guided eye movements to process traumatic memories rapidly. Clients often report a significant decrease in the intensity of traumatic experiences and an overall improvement in daily function.
Nutrition and Wellness
The nutrition and wellness services at Dana Behavioral Health promote mental health through a comprehensive approach that encompasses mind, body, and spirit. Clients work with registered dieticians to understand how nutrition affects physical, emotional, and mental health. DBH's program supports a range of conditions, including prediabetes, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, celiac disease, IBS/IBD, and GERD, and integrates nutritional care with mental health strategies to enhance patient well-being.
