Individual Therapy
Individual therapy sessions are a balance of ongoing assessment, evidence-based intervention, and special attention to creating and maintaining a supportive therapeutic relationship.
Dr. O’Planick provides individual psychotherapy to individuals 14 years of age and older.
The initial session focuses on assessment and developing a treatment plan. Follow-up sessions are 45-60 minutes and occur weekly or less frequent if appropriate.
Interventions are tailored to individual patient needs and preferences. Although treatment is tailored for each patient, Dr. O’Planick tends to utilize the following types of treatment:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Solution-focused therapy
principles of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
aspects of Somatic Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Techniques used in session typically include:
Normalizing emotion and using emotion as a ‘sign’ to better understand needs and direct behavior
Increasing awareness and understanding of thought patterns, emotional reactions, and behavioral habits
Normalize behaviors and identify their given function
Develop and practice new patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving
Strengthen coping strategies that align with personal values

Psychological Assessment
While not a robust neuropsychological evaluation, brief psychological assessment is available for the following inquiries:
Brief ADHD assessment to help inform medication considerations and non-pharmocological treatments. Includes an hour interview, intereptation of diagnostic assessments, and 3-4 page evaluation with diagnostic information and brief recommendations for treatment. Typically this evaluation is requested by prescribing primary care providers who are prescribing psychiatric treatment for ADHD and would like to clarify a diagnosis.
Diagnostic assessment helpful when curious about the presence of a diagnosis (e.g., is this OCD?) or determining a differential diagnosis (e.g., Bipolar Disorder vs. PTSD)
Second opinion evaluation and consultation that includes a comprehensive review of records, psychiatric interview, and assessment battery that seeks to answer questions about given diagnoses, review medication and therapeutic recommendations, and consider non-pharmacologic treatment options.
