Individual Therapy
Dr. Baharanyi practices psychodynamic psychotherapy. In this type of therapy, symptoms carry meaning. This meaning is embedded in the client’s life experiences, hopes, impulses, wishes, perceptions of others, and views of themselves. Despite how powerful all of these elements are many clients are unaware of their impact. To build insight and promote healing, Dr. Baharanyi meets with clients 1 to 3 times per week. In these meetings, he listens for and brings awareness to patterns, conflicting ideas, complex emotions, and ways in which past experiences are influencing current distress. For younger clients, therapy takes the form of play. Games, dolls, action figures, and toys are used in sessions to understand the child’s inner world while helping them explore and express tough feelings
Medication Management
Psychotropic medications can provide relief from a variety of symptoms including crippling anxiety, debilitating depression, disturbances in sleep, and inattention. Dr. Baharanyi approach is judicious and evidence-based. He strives not to only treat symptoms but understand the person behind the symptoms.
Pharmacogenetic Testing
Selecting a medication requires thoughtful consideration of one’s current symptoms, diagnoses, past medication trials, and if applicable, family psychiatric history. Even then there are a wide number of medications to choose from. Pharmacogenetic testing examines genes that impact how the body interacts with (pharmacodynamics) and metabolizes (pharmacokinetics) certain medications. This information can help select medications that are less likely to be ineffective or cause side effects
