At Family Psychological Services, Inc., we proudly serve the Agoura Hills community with licensed mental health professionals who are committed to crafting treatment plans that reflect your individual needs and goals.

Why Work With a Psychiatrist?
If you’re looking to manage mental health conditions with clarity and long-term success, working with a psychiatrist can make a powerful difference. These licensed professionals differ from other mental health providers because they can:
- Diagnose and Treat Disorders: With focused expertise in mental health, psychiatrists perform thorough evaluations to identify a range of psychiatric conditions and craft well-informed treatment strategies.
- Prescribe Medication: As qualified medical professionals, psychiatrists go beyond therapy alone, offering prescriptions for mental health medications that address issues like ADHD, anxiety, and mood disorders.
- Monitor Medication Effects: They follow up regularly to assess how medications are impacting the patient and adjust dosages or drugs as needed to optimize results.
- Address Co-Occurring Disorders: In cases where patients face more than one mental health condition, psychiatrists design treatment plans that take all diagnoses into account, reducing risks and improving outcomes.
- Offer Long-Term Support: From transitional life challenges to persistent mental health conditions, psychiatrists deliver tailored care that evolves to meet each person’s unique, ongoing needs.
What Do Psychiatrists Treat?
Psychiatrists share much of the same psychological expertise as licensed psychologists, but their medical training gives them added capabilities. As physicians with advanced degrees, they are qualified to prescribe medications and treat a wide range of mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, and other mood-related disorders.
Mood Disorders
Conditions such as major depressive disorder, bipolar types I and II, and dysthymia fall under the umbrella of mood disorders. Psychiatrists address these illnesses with a combination of psychotherapy and medication oversight to help patients feel more balanced.
- Antidepressants: Includes SSRIs and other prescription options to help alleviate symptoms of depression.
- Mood Stabilizers: Commonly used to regulate emotional highs and lows in individuals with bipolar and similar mood disorders.
Anxiety Disorders
If you’ve been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder—such as generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social phobia, agoraphobia, or specific fears—a psychiatrist can guide you with both behavioral therapies and pharmacological interventions.
- SSRIs: Known for their success in treating persistent anxiety and panic conditions.
- Common Psychiatric Drugs: Chosen to suit the nature of your anxiety and overall mental health needs.
Neurodevelopmental Disorders
For those navigating developmental concerns like autism spectrum disorder or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), psychiatric care can provide a thoughtful mix of medication and life tools to enhance daily functioning and social skills.
- Stimulant Medications: Commonly prescribed to improve attention span and manage impulsivity.
- Non-Stimulant Options: A helpful alternative for individuals who experience side effects or limited benefits from stimulant use.
