Care at Superior Associates Mental Health & Wellness is grounded in a comprehensive, individualized approach that recognizes mental health as a foundation of overall wellness and physical health. Services are designed to support thoughtful evaluation, evidence-based treatment planning, and continuity of care, while remaining attentive to the close connection between mind and body.

This practice does not function as a traditional primary care office. Instead, care focuses on wellness-oriented evaluations, preventive screening, psychiatric treatment, and coordination with primary care providers and specialists when ongoing or specialized medical management is indicated.

Services are provided through in-person and telehealth visits, using secure, HIPAA-compliant technology, when clinically appropriate and in accordance with Illinois regulations.

The use of telehealth is determined on an individual basis and may not be appropriate for all clinical situations.

Psychiatric Medication Management

Psychiatric medication management services include comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and ongoing treatment of mental health conditions. Care is individualized and guided by current clinical guidelines, patient goals, and safety considerations.

Medication decisions are made thoughtfully, with attention to diagnostic clarity, effectiveness, potential side effects, and long-term treatment planning. Visits are therapy-informed and may incorporate supportive, cognitive-behavioral, and psychoeducational interventions as appropriate.

Telehealth services may be utilized when clinically appropriate and permitted by state and federal guidelines. In-person visits are required when indicated for patient safety, diagnostic clarity, or regulatory reasons.

Wellness-Focused Health Evaluations & Laboratory Review

Wellness-focused evaluations are offered to support preventive care and identify medical factors that may influence mental health and overall functioning. These visits may include a comprehensive review of health history, medications, lifestyle factors, and appropriate screening or laboratory studies.

When laboratory testing is obtained, results are reviewed and interpreted in detail, with education provided to support patient understanding and informed decision-making. If findings suggest the need for ongoing medical management or specialized care, coordination with the patient’s primary care provider or referral to an appropriate specialist is recommended.

These services are intended to complement—not replace—ongoing primary care.

Limited Acute Symptom Evaluation

Evaluation of select acute symptoms may be provided on a limited basis when clinically appropriate. These visits focus on assessment, clinical guidance, and determining whether further medical evaluation or referral is needed.

This service is not intended to function as urgent care or comprehensive medical management, and referrals are made when a higher level of care or ongoing treatment is indicated.

Collaboration & Continuity of Care

Collaboration with primary care providers, therapists, and other healthcare professionals is encouraged to support coordinated, whole-person care. Open communication and appropriate referrals are integral to maintaining safe, effective, and individualized treatment plans.
