Clever Thinking Therapy is established to provide mental health therapy in skilled nursing homes, memory care, assisted living and independent living facilities. Services can also be provided via telehealth or in person at my office in North Salt Lake. Currently residents are being seen for medication management via multiple providers. Counseling and mental health therapy is needed more than ever . Therapy by itself or in conjunction with medication management can make for positive outcomes in the residents experience in these facilities and in life. Motivational Interviewing for example, is a powerful tool invaluable to skilled nursing facilities. Having a qualified mental health provider at these facilities will enhance the residents engagement in physical therapy. Empowering people when illnesses happen is a way for them to regain a sense of autonomy.  The goal is to provide individual designed plans of action to regain mental health while in a post-acute care facility, assisted living or independent living facility. Whether the resident is facing mood swings, panic attacks, social anxiety or more challenging situations. An integrative approach for mental harmony can bring regularity back to their life.

This would start by calling or texting 801-200-0807.

 

Jay, will verify and fill out the insurance form to establish coverage. Currently accepting Medicare only.  Pending insurances Medicaid and 20 others likely by end of June 25. 

 

 Then you would read and sign the consent form for therapy. Once those steps are completed Jay will book an initial psychiatric consult and come to the facility you are at.  During the psychiatric consult the therapist will listen to your specific situation and desires from seeking a qualified provider's assistance. Together we will develop an individual plan to approach the next 4-12 sessions. Integrative health is an approach designed to get your electrolytes, hormones and inflammation down. We focus on maintaining a quality sleep regimen. Along with a specific meal plan and exercise plan. We also incorporate the spiritual side into the treatment plan since we can not live on bread alone. I have found that including all these necessary pieces along with talk therapy can drastically improve a person's life. Types of therapy will be discussed in blogs or services.
