When worry stops being useful
Everyone worries. Here is how to tell when it has crossed into something worth treating, and what treatment looks like.
Stillwater is a small psychiatry practice built around unhurried appointments, careful prescribing, and a clinician who remembers what you told them last time.
Most people arrive carrying more than one thing. We look at the whole picture — sleep, work, relationships, history — not just the name on the referral.
Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, and phobias treated with therapy and, when appropriate, medication.
Major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, and situational depression addressed with personalized treatment plans.
Careful evaluation for adults and adolescents, including the many who were missed earlier, and management that fits a real life.
Trauma-informed care at a pace you set. You will never be asked to tell more of the story than you are ready to.
Mood stabilization and long-term management strategies for bipolar I and bipolar II disorder.
Specialized treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder combining medication management with behavioral strategies.
Evaluation and treatment of chronic sleep difficulties, including cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I).
Supportive care for those navigating bereavement, complicated grief, and major life transitions.
Good psychiatry is mostly listening. We keep our caseload small so appointments can be long, decisions can be slow when they should be, and no one feels like a slot on a calendar.
Sixty minutes for a first visit, thirty for follow-ups. Enough time to actually talk.
The lowest dose that works, changed one thing at a time, always with your say.
Some people need one, some need both. We offer both, and we will tell you honestly which we think you need.
No intake forms, no commitment, no hard sell. It is simply a chance to say what has been going on and hear, plainly, whether Stillwater is a good fit. If we are not the right place, we will tell you so and point you toward someone who is.
Some weeks it is hard to get anywhere. Every appointment we offer is also available by secure video — the same length, the same clinician — from wherever you happen to be.
Ask about video visitsNothing here is rushed. This is how the first few weeks usually go.
A free 15-minute conversation to see whether we are a good fit. No paperwork yet, and no obligation afterwards.
A short, confidential questionnaire so your first visit can start with the substance rather than the logistics.
Sixty minutes. Mostly you talking and us listening, and by the end, a plan the two of you have written together.
Follow-ups every few weeks at first, then as often as helps. Between visits you can reach us through the portal.

Short, plain-language pieces on the things patients ask us about most.
Everyone worries. Here is how to tell when it has crossed into something worth treating, and what treatment looks like.
Why we ask about sleep before almost anything else, and the small changes that tend to matter most.
What we will ask, what you do not have to answer, and what to bring. Plainly, so there are no surprises.
