Behavioral Health

At our practice, we are dedicated to supporting your mental and emotional well-being. Dr. Hennessay is equipped to address a range of behavioral health conditions, including anxiety, depression, stress, grief reactions, insomnia, and ADHD.

For patients diagnosed with ADHD by a psychiatrist, Dr. Hennessay may provide medication refills, evaluated on a case-by-case basis. We encourage you to discuss your needs during your visit to ensure personalized care.

For controlled medications, such as certain sleeping pills or anxiety medications like Ambien or Xanax, we require an in-person evaluation to determine the most appropriate treatment options.

We prioritize safety, especially for patients over 65, as most sleeping and anxiety medications are generally not recommended due to an increased risk of falls. However, we are open to considering these medications on a case-by-case basis to meet individual needs.

Our goal is to provide compassionate and comprehensive care tailored to your unique situation. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions or for more information about our services.
