Services by Monique Masse, M.D.

Services

My goal is to consider the whole picture and give you the best recommendations and help possible. All of the services I offer start with an evaluation of some kind. After the evaluation is finished, I discuss my recommendations with you and you decide what you are ready to do. I always consider this work to be a partnership. I bring my expertise in psychiatry and you bring your knowledge of yourself. The descriptions below will help you understand what is involved with the various services I offer.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, often referred to as "therapy", is a kind of talking therapy that is meant to help people resolve various symptoms, problems, and issues. There are many different kinds of psychotherapy with different underlying theories of mind and approaches to evoking change.

Medication Management

Good medication management should be individualized and requires various levels of involvement by the physician prescribing the medications.

Evaluation & Treatment

I evaluate the whole person: from the mental to the physical, to the genetic, to the environmental, allowing us to develop an effective treatment plan.

Grief Work

Grieving is a very important, misunderstood, and often painful process that every human being must go through when they lose someone or something precious to them.

Family Therapy

Family therapy happens when more than one family member meets together with a therapist.

Psychoanalysis

Some people think psychoanalysis is dead, but it isn’t. Like most fields, is has grown and developed, changed and progressed, well beyond Freud's discoveries and practices. Many people have found it to be life-changing.

Consultation

Sometimes you need more information in order to understand the mental health problems of a loved one.

Second Opinion

Sometimes all you need is more information before you make important decisions about a particular treatment path.
