LOS
ANGELES, Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Neuro
Wellness Spa, a leader in innovative mental health care, announced
the launch of its Adolescent Psychiatry Services, tailored for
adolescents ages 12-17. This new service addresses the growing
demand for teen mental health support, offering specialized care to
help young patients and their families navigate the challenges of
adolescence.
This announcement of expanded care options from Neuro Wellness
Spa comes on the heels of new research around adolescent mental
health released last week. According to the cross-sectional study
published Tuesday in the medical journal JAMA Network Open,
included data on people ages 10 to 24 from the US Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention's National Violent Death Reporting
System "suggests that the majority of young people who have died by
suicide did not have a documented mental health diagnosis in their
medical history, indicating that mental health problems might be
going missed or undiagnosed, and thus untreated, in some young
people."1 In a news release, study co-author Dr
Jennifer Hoffmann shared, "Our
findings point to the critical need to increase equitable access to
mental health screening, diagnosis, and treatment for all
youth."2
As teen mental health issues continue to rise, Neuro Wellness
Spa remains committed to providing targeted, compassionate care.
The Adolescent Psychiatry program features a multidisciplinary team
led by board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Haiyan Wang and psychiatric mental health nurse
practitioner Paula Martin, PMHNP.
Together, they will create personalized treatment plans, combining
evidence-based therapies with innovative approaches to meet each
patient's unique needs. Together, Dr. Wang and Ms. Martin help
patients understand their symptoms and choose the best treatment
option for their health goals, including talk therapy and/or a
medication or a non-drug treatment like transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS).
Dr. Haiyan Wang, Medical Director
of the new service, states, "Adolescence is a critical period for
mental health development. We're dedicated to providing a
supportive environment where young people can receive expert care.
Our goal is to empower adolescents and their families with the
resources they need to overcome mental health challenges and
thrive."
Dr. Wang completed her child and adolescent psychiatry
fellowship at New York University and
has received psychoanalytical training from the Washington
Baltimore Psychoanalytic Institute. She specializes in diagnosing
and treating anxiety, OCD, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, ADHD,
disruptive behavior, and psychosis. Dr. Wang has extensive
experience with OCD and anxiety patients and actively mentors the
next generation of mental health providers.
Paula Martin is a board-certified
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who is
recognized for her empathetic approach in delivering individualized
care to persons of all age groups, including children and
adolescents and possesses a strong knowledge base in
trauma-informed techniques. She has acquired profound knowledge and
skills in delivering care in many healthcare settings. Her
enthusiasm for working in mental health with adolescents stemmed
from her experience as a healthcare provider at an inpatient mental
health unit at a children's hospital which specialized in providing
trauma-informed care to children and adolescents who were dealing
with mental health illnesses, substance use disorders, and/or
adverse childhood experiences.
