Our specialties at Better and Beyond
Our center treats a wide range of mental health disorders affecting adolescents and adults.
Each situation is approached with clinical rigor, respecting the individual journey and specific needs of each patient.
Our goal is not only to provide support, but also to offer a clear, professional, and reassuring environment in which to understand the difficulties encountered and define an appropriate course of treatment.
Our main categories of disorders
Mental disorders come in different forms and intensities. For clarity, we have grouped them here into broad categories, accompanied by a general description.
These explanations are intended to provide information and are not a substitute for a medical evaluation.
Mood disorders
- Depression
- Bipolar disorder
Mood disorders include persistent emotional states such as depression or bipolar disorder.
They can profoundly affect energy levels, interest, motivation, sleep, and the ability to manage daily activities.
A clinical assessment can identify the factors involved and propose a therapeutic approach that takes into account each person's personal situation and history.
Anxiety and phobic disorders
- Generalized anxiety disorder
- Panic attacks
- Phobias
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Anxiety disorders manifest themselves through excessive worry, persistent apprehension, panic attacks, or avoidance behaviors.
This group also includes specific phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorders.
Anxiety can take many forms and have a significant impact on quality of life. A professional assessment can help identify the cause and determine the most appropriate treatment.
Neurodevelopmental disorders
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)
- Autism spectrum disorders (ASD)
Neurodevelopmental disorders, such as ADHD or ASD, affect attention, emotional regulation, behavior, communication, and social interactions.
They usually appear during childhood but can be identified in adolescence or adulthood.
Our team offers specialized assessments to better understand cognitive and emotional functioning and provide tailored support.
Psychotic and related disorders
- Schizophrenia
- Related disorders
Psychotic disorders include symptoms such as alterations in perception, thinking, or relationship to reality. These disorders can take different forms and require specialized, structured, and coordinated care.
Our team provides rigorous clinical monitoring to assess symptoms, ensure continuity of care, and adapt treatment as needed.
Other difficulties addressed
Some difficulties are not directly related to a specific diagnosis but can nevertheless have a significant impact on emotional or relational experiences.
We also support people facing:
– persistent emotional difficulties,
– relationship issues,
– emotional regulation disorders,
– prolonged stressful situations.
These situations warrant professional attention in order to better understand the issues at stake and consider appropriate support.
Our approach
Our center favors a structured and individualized approach.
Each treatment plan is based on:
- a thorough clinical evaluation
- a comprehensive understanding of the situation (personal history, family background, current factors)
- a thorough analysis of the symptoms
- a focus on the most appropriate therapeutic approach: therapy, psychiatric follow-up, or a combination of both.
We place particular importance on continuity of care and coordinated work between psychiatrists and psychologists/psychotherapists.
The consultation
Above all,a consultation provides professional insight into the situation at hand.
It is not just a matter of naming a disorder, but of understanding the mechanisms at play and identifying relevant therapeutic approaches.
This space aims to provide a confidential setting for listening, analysis, and support.
