Knowledge is power. Although everyone is different, many people feel better when they have information about their problem or diagnosis.  Information helps people to gain a sense of control over the issue at hand.

This part of the website contains links to sites which offer information about behavioral health problems. This information is not meant to be a substitute for treatment. Rather, it is a sampling of some of the vast amount of information currently available on the internet about these particular problems.

In addition, you may want to consider research findings which demonstrate that the most effective mental health treatment often involves a combination of  therapy and medication. Although Dr. Chernyk does not prescribe medication, she has consulting relationships with local psychiatrists and primary care physicians who may decide that medication would be a helpful treatment adjunct. If necessary and only when authorized, Dr. Chernyk will confer with your prescribing practitioner to coordinate your overall treatment plan.
