Psychiatrists
Our team of psychiatrists are all senior in their field and play an important role in the diagnosis and management of a patient’s physical and mental health. The psychiatrist works closely with other relevant disciplines to assist the patient in achieving a renewed sense of wellness, and also to equip them with the tools they need to thrive once they leave the clinic.
Psychologist
We have a set of skilled psychologists, with at least one on-call at any time of day for emergencies. Various assessment tools and treatment methodologies help patients make sense of their emotions, behaviours, and thinking patterns so that they can rediscover their confidence and control in everyday life. Our team of psychologists works on an individual basis, with couples and families, and also in groups.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy is a valuable aspect of mental health treatment. Skilled therapists with extensive experience in psychiatry assist patients to understand the impact their condition might have on different areas of their lives. In individual and group sessions, patients are equipped with coping skills for everyday life and receive guidance to finding their own resilience in the adversities they may face because of mental illness. The goal is not just to achieve wellness but to maintain it after having left the clinic.
Social Workers
Our social workers form an invaluable part of our team of professionals, and provide basic counseling to patients. Their support is enlisted when there are environmental issues related to family, work, and so forth. These circumstances are usually sensitive in nature and often require intervention in order to aid the patient’s recovery process.
Physiotherapists
The body and mind are fundamentally linked and one cannot treat the one without treating the other. In mental health treatment, it is necessary to attend to the physical needs of the body as well. Our physiotherapists work closely with other disciplines at the clinic to ensure each patient’s needs are adequately addressed. They look at things like pain management, increasing joint mobility, improving strength, relaxation exercises, and establishing patient-specific exercise programmes.
Biokineticist
We know that exercise helps improve the symptoms of both anxiety as well as depression. We thus encourage physical activity and exercise as an integral part of treatment. Our Biokineticist consults with patients to help them get started in a way that is safe and beneficial to their individual needs. Exercises are provided to support recovery both mentally and physically.
Nursing Staff
The nursing staff at ZwavelStream have training in psychiatric nursing, and are with patients throughout the day. Tasked with being available to provide basic counseling as needed, they monitor patients and take care of daily physical and emotional needs.
