At Sunrise Med, we offer treatment with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), supportive therapy, and medications when indicated. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidence based type of talk therapy that examines how our maladaptive thinking and behavior patterns contribute to your mental and physical health symptoms. In CBT sessions, you will work with a therapist to help identify these negative patterns, to recognize them as they are happening in the real world, and to develop new skills and coping strategies to challenge these patterns and build healthier responses. CBT is generally a structured, short term treatment approach, with sessions lasting from several weeks to several months, depending on an individual's symptoms and goals. CBT is considered to be the most evidenced-based therapy approach for a wide range of mental health conditions. Just like anything in life, optimizing your mental health involves practice and time. A CBT approach recognizes this, and CBT therapists will often include homework assignments to complete outside of therapy sessions. These assignments may include activity, sleep, or mood tracking, challenging negative thoughts or behaviors, and practicing skills learned during previous sessions. These create adaptive patterns of behavior that promote long term wellness, with skills that you can build on in the future.

At Sunrise Med, we use evidence based guidelines when it comes to medication management. To ensure the most complete treatment plan for you, Sunrise Med will communicate with any primary care and specialty physicians to gather a comprehensive medication and physical history.

At Sunrise Med, we are flexible with both where and when to see clients. Appointments are now available in person, in downtown Madison, Connecticut, in addition to via telehealth. Psychiatric consultations and medication management follow ups can be scheduled in the evenings, weekends, and occasional week days.

In addition to English sessions, I also offer sessions conducted in Russian or French. In cases where a client has some grasp of English, I can also provide sessions partly in Spanish or Polish. Please contact me to let me know how I can best support your language needs.

At Sunrise Med, we do not participate in any insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. As an out-of-network practice, we are happy to provide you with a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. We understand that navigating insurance and payments is a challenging and stressful part of obtaining medical care, and we are here to support you in any way that is possible.
