At Neuropsychiatric Associates of Austin (NPA), treatment plans are individualized to each patient’s needs and may include psychotherapy, psychiatric medication, and/or family involvement to support the best possible outcomes.

Psychotherapy can be an important part of treatment for many psychiatric conditions and is often most effective when combined with medication management. When indicated, psychotherapy may be provided by an NPA psychiatrist or through a referral to a trusted therapist. Decisions regarding treatment approach are made collaboratively between the patient and their psychiatrist.

NPA offers several evidence-based psychotherapy approaches, including short-term problem-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic psychotherapy. These therapies are designed to address current challenges, underlying thought and behavior patterns, and long-standing relational or emotional concerns, with the goal of creating healthier and more effective ways of coping.

Psychotherapy is tailored to the patient’s developmental level and clinical needs. Treatment may include individual therapy, family involvement, and medication when appropriate. Our psychiatrists work closely with patients to determine the most effective therapeutic approach.
