What we treat
You don’t need a diagnosis to reach out. If something is getting in the way of your mood, focus, sleep, relationships or daily life, we’ll help you understand it and build a plan to feel better.
Persistent low mood, loss of interest, fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, or trouble concentrating. Depression doesn’t always look like sadness — sometimes it’s numbness, irritability or just getting through the day.
How we help: careful evaluation, antidepressant and augmentation strategies, therapy, and measurement-based follow-up. Including treatment-resistant and postpartum depression.
Constant worry, racing thoughts, panic attacks, social anxiety or physical symptoms like a pounding heart and tight chest. Anxiety is among the most treatable conditions we see.
How we help: non-habit-forming medication options, CBT and exposure-based therapy, and practical skills for panic and worry.
Trouble focusing, staying organized, finishing tasks or managing time — in teens and in adults, including those diagnosed later in life.
How we help: thorough evaluation, stimulant and non-stimulant options with safety monitoring, and skills-based support.
Cycles of depression and periods of elevated or irritable mood, high energy, less need for sleep or impulsive decisions — Bipolar I, Bipolar II and related conditions.
How we help: accurate diagnosis, mood-stabilizing medication, lab monitoring when needed, and relapse-prevention planning.
Flashbacks, nightmares, feeling on edge, avoidance or emotional numbness after a frightening or overwhelming experience.

Intrusive, unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals that are hard to stop and take up valuable time.

Substance use & co-occurring disorders
Substance use and mental health conditions often go hand in hand. Alcohol, cannabis, opioids, stimulants or other substances can start as a way to cope with anxiety, depression, trauma or sleep problems — and then make those symptoms worse.
At Altus, we treat both at the same time, without judgment. Integrated care means one plan that addresses your mental health, your substance use and how they affect each other.
Finding the right fit
Some situations call for more support than outpatient visits can provide. If that’s the case, we’ll help you find the right next step — including partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient programs — and be here for follow-up when you’re ready.
