Her approach, in her words
“I believe in treating the person as a whole, along with all the complexities that make up a person’s life. All aspects of our life have an impact on our mood. Some of these factors include environment, support system, diet, other health issues, stressors, and coping skills.”
“I take all of these into consideration when coming up with your individual treatment. You and I will work as a team to support your path to a balanced life.”
“I also work with a team of therapists who are experienced in many different kinds of therapy. Medication is one way to treat mental health conditions. Therapy allows a person to reflect on and work toward change in their thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns.”
Areas of focus
Services at Memor Health
Dr. Kaunismaki provides psychiatric evaluations and medication management. As Medical Director, she also works with the team that offers TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) and ketamine treatment. The same team offers Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray at our office.
Some people see her and one of our therapists at the same time. That way, medication and therapy fit into one care plan.
