We are proud to announce that bonmente has expanded its telehealth psychiatric services to include mental health services in Arizona. We are now licensed to provide telepsychiatry services in three states: Arizona, California, and Florida. 

If you live in any of those states, read on for our services and what conditions we treat.

Mental Health Services in Arizona: An Overview of What We Do

Our team of experienced licensed psychiatric providers can offer talk therapy, medication management, and other mental health services via our secure telehealth platform.

Psychiatric Evaluations

If you are wondering whether you are suffering from a mental illness, a psychiatric evaluation from one of our licensed mental health providers will get you an answer from an expert. 

We do a thorough evaluation of your symptoms before offering a diagnosis. 

If we determine that you do have a mental health condition, we can be on our way to building a personalized treatment plan.

Medication Management 

Some treatment plans involve us prescribing medications. 

If this is the case, then we will keep tabs on you to see how the medication is working, making any adjustments if necessary along the way. 

Therapy

Many of our mental health treatment plans rely on talk therapy, which comes in many different forms, to help patients work through their conditions. 

Negative thought patterns, unchallenged beliefs, and other issues can be effectively overcome in therapy. 

Telepsychiatry

We understand that not everybody is able to (or just willing) to attend an in-person mental health treatment. That is why we offer telepsychiatry services to our patients. 

We are currently serving residents anywhere in Arizona, California, or Florida. 

In-person treatment is available at our practice in Long Beach, California. 

Electronic Prescriptions

E-prescribing allows us to remotely fulfill your prescriptions, which you can pick up at your pharmacy of choice. 

This goes well with our telepsych services, and is a convenient complement to our medication management services. 

Concierge Support

Sometimes patients cannot wait until the next scheduled appointment to get the help they need. That is why we have concierge support, which offers on-demand access to mental health support. 

Enrolling in our program for concierge support offers reliable contact and extra time with one of our licensed mental health providers. Patients in this program also have higher priority and more flexibility in scheduling. 

Why Telehealth Matters for Mental Health Services in Arizona

In mental healthcare, telehealth offers more than just the convenience of remote mental health treatment. It can be a lifeline during difficult periods. 

If you are a resident of California, Arizona, or Florida, you can connect from anywhere in your state to a compassionate, board-certified professional at bonmente. 

Our secure, HIPAA-compliant telepysch platform offers privacy and fast connectivity. All patients need is a phone, tablet, or computer (preferably with a working camera) with internet access.

What We Treat at Bonmente

Our team of psychiatrists, mental health nurse practitioners, therapists, and other mental health professionals treat a wide range of psychiatric conditions. 

We offer evidence-based treatments, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication management, to help patients gain control and perspective on their mental health conditions. We are also able to help patients safely taper off of medications that they may no longer need but have been taking for years. 

For us, success in treatment comes from the personalized approach we take for each patient. Our individualized treatment plans may include talk therapy, medication management, lifestyle changes, and other approaches that treat your specific condition with your unique goals in mind. 

Read on for an overview of some of the common mental health conditions we treat. 

Anxiety

Anxiety disorders, characterized by excessive fear or worry, are the most common mental health condition in the U.S. It affects over 40 million adults and nearly 7% of children. 

Symptoms can be physical or emotional, examples including:

  • Dread
  • Jumpiness 
  • Irritability
  • Catastrophizing
  • Insomnia
  • Stomach problems
  • Headaches
  • Sweating

Untreated anxiety can interfere with work, relationships, and life in general.

Depression

Approximately 280 million people worldwide have depression

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is diagnosed if the following symptoms — among others — have been present daily (or nearly daily) for at least two weeks:

  • Intense sadness
  • Hopelessness
  • Loss of interest in activities or hobbies
  • Oversleeping or undersleeping
  • Thoughts of suicide or self-harm

Sleep Disorders

Our sleep is closely connected to mental and physical health. Sleep disorders, which affect the timing, duration, and/or quality of sleep, can therefore have an adverse impact on our mental health. 

A sleep disorder can even exacerbate mental health conditions. In some cases, it could even contribute to the development of mental illnesses like depression

Sleep disorders include: 

  • Insomnia
  • Sleep apnea
  • Restless leg syndrome
  • Narcolepsy.

Our providers can identify root causes of sleep problems, targeting these in personalized treatment plans for bringing restorative sleep back to patients’ lives. 

Postpartum Depression

This form of depression, which occurs after childbirth, typically lasts three to six months. This can be an intense time period, as symptoms can be compounded by all of the challenges of taking care of a newborn. 

 Symptoms may include:

  • Mood swings
  • Difficulty concentrating 
  • Crying
  • Thoughts of harming oneself or the baby

Getting treatment can be crucial for mothers experiencing postpartum depression, as it can ensure that their family life stays happy and fulfilling. 

ADHD

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) makes it difficult to control one’s attention. 

This can present in many ways, such as: 

  • Chronic disorganization, such as always losing personal items (“Where’s my phone?”)
  • Difficulty with time management 
  • Trouble sitting still or staying in place 

Our professional evaluations, thorough testing, accurate diagnoses, and individualized treatment plans help patients get a handle on this condition that often interferes with work, relationships, and more. 

PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Natural disasters, serious accidents, assaults, or combat are examples of traumatic events. 

PTSD symptoms can include: 

  • Flashbacks
  • Nightmares
  • Avoidance behaviors
  • Hypervigilance.

PTSD treatment at bonmente works toward the ultimate goal of restoring an appropriate sense of safety and control in the lives of patients. 

Bipolar Disorder

People with this condition deal with intense shifts in mood. This can involve depressive lows to manic highs. 

We work with patients with bipolar disorder to manage this condition, which if left untreated can lead to a variety of issues like damaged relationships, employment problems, financial issues, and more. 

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disorder affecting how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. 

Symptoms can include:

  • Hallucinations
  • Delusions
  • Disorganized speech
  • Social withdrawal
  • Cognitive difficulties

Since schizophrenia has no cure, we work with patients to help them cope with this condition for better quality of life. 

Personality Disorders

Personality disorders are characterized by enduring patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that deviate from social norms and expectations. These patterns can significantly disrupt relationships, work, and overall quality of life.

There are several types of personality disorders, each with distinct traits and challenges. For example, avoidant personality disorder often involves extreme sensitivity to rejection, while borderline personality disorder is marked by emotional instability and fear of abandonment.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

OCD is a mental health condition characterized by intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that are performed to ease distress. In many cases, the source of this distress may seem irrational or exaggerated. 

At bonmente, we understand how overwhelming OCD can feel. That’s why our mental health services are designed to help patients regain control, so they can act based on their own intentions, rather than what OCD compels them to do.
