Pearl Psychiatry & Therapy Center was founded in response to the significant demand for child and adult psychiatry services. With a growing recognition of mental health issues and a greater focus on overall well-being, the need for specialized psychiatric care has become more apparent than ever. At Pearl, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate, and individualized treatment to children and adults alike, ensuring that their mental health needs are addressed with expertise and care.
The Growing Need for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Childhood and adolescence are critical times for both physical and mental development. However, concerning statistics show that a significant portion of young people struggle with mental health challenges. This underlines the importance of focusing on mental health alongside physical well-being during this crucial growth period.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System documented a concerning rise of nearly 40% in feelings of persistent sadness and hopelessness, as well as suicidal ideation and attempts among young people (Source: https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/yrbs/index.htm).
The diverse range of mental health challenges in children and adolescents, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), underscores the urgent need for specialized services like child psychiatrists and therapists to address these complex issues.
Recognizing this growing need, Pearl Psychiatry & Therapy Center has a highly skilled and experienced child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist, Dr. Zeynep Ozinci, who is an expert at diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions and practicing in the medical field for more than 15 years.
We understand that early intervention is crucial in ensuring positive long-term outcomes, and our child psychiatry services are tailored to provide comprehensive evaluations, evidence-based treatments, and ongoing support for children and their families.
Addressing Adult Mental Health Challenges
In addition to the pressing need for child psychiatry, the demand for adult psychiatry services has also significantly increased. Mental health challenges like depression, trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders frequently affect adults, with far-reaching consequences for individuals, families, and communities.
National Institute of Mental Health (NIH) reported that mental illnesses are common in the United States. It is estimated that more than one in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness (57.8 million in 2021):
In 2021, there were an estimated 57.8 million adults aged 18 or older in the United States with any mental illness (AMI). This number represented 22.8% of all U.S. adults.
The prevalence of any mental illness was higher among females (27.2%) than males (18.1%).
Young adults aged 18-25 years had the highest prevalence of any mental illness (33.7%) compared to adults aged 26-49 years (28.1%) and aged 50 and older (15.0%). (Source: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/mental-illness#part_2555)
Pearl Psychiatry & Therapy Center is dedicated to meeting this need by offering comprehensive adult psychiatry services. We work closely with patients, to develop personalized treatment plans, including medication management, psychotherapy, and lifestyle interventions. By addressing the unique needs and circumstances of each adult patient, we strive to promote well-being, recovery, and improved quality of life.
Holistic Approach to Mental Health Care
At Pearl, we believe in taking a holistic approach to mental health care. We understand that mental health is influenced by a variety of factors, including biological, psychological, and social elements. Therefore, our treatment approach extends beyond medication management to include evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
Our psychiatrist, Dr. Zeynep Ozinci, works collaboratively with patients, their families, and other providers to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs, strengths, and goals.
