Psychiatric Evaluation
Psychiatric evaluation is offered by UPC’s team of psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, and allied health professionals to assess various affective, cognitive, behavioral, and perceptual disorders according to diagnoses in the DSM-IV-TR. Our trained specialists and professionals then determine appropriate treatment methods pertaining to each individual's needs and recommend a range of treatment modalities such as psychiatric medication, individual, group, family or couples therapy.
Psychological Testing
Psychological testing is offered as a valuable adjunct to an evaluation. It identifies an individual’s strengths and asset’s, as well as areas of difficulty or weakness. A full range of testing is offered including personality, intelligence, neuropsychological, and vocational testing.

UPC offers individual therapy by our licensed and trained professionals to offer each client one-on-one treatment. Through these treatment techniques, patients are able to use conflict resolution, free association, to explore the unconscious mind and to develop healthier thought and behavior patterns.

Family Therapy
Mental illnesses and behavioral disorders can have a devastating impact on everyone closest to the aflicted individual. UPC believes that treatment of any disorders is most successful when the family is involved in treatment. UPC’s trained family therapists help work with families going though transitional, situational, behavioral, and family dilemmas.
