It’s time to experience what you’ve been missing
Whether you have been feeling down lately or have battled mental health disorders for a while now, seeking help when you need to is crucial.
That said, we understand that doing so is not easy. From the stigma that comes with mental health to other situations, it is always easier to just will the feelings away.
That is why, at Tandem Psychiatric and Family Practice, PLLC, we make sure that our patients can come to us in a way that makes them feel heard and affirms the validity of their experience. By seeking help, we want each of our patients to maintain and improve personal relationships, function better overall, perform better in school or at work, and work on achieving their God-given potential.
Here are the mental health disorders and conditions we can work with:
Suicidal Ideation

Dissociative Disorders
Dissociative disorders are mental health disorders that are characterized by disconnection and lack of continuity between a person’s thoughts, actions, memories, and their identity. In other words, this is when a person escapes reality involuntarily. As expected, these result in issues with functioning in everyday life.
Impulse Control Disorders
Impulse control disorders are conditions that are characterized by trouble controlling emotions or behaviors. Oftentimes, these result in them violating the rights of others and even the law such that they start fires, steal, and commit sudden acts of violence.
Mood Disorders
