Psychiatric Care at Highlands in Bloom
Residential clients at Highlands in Bloom receive weekly one-on-one psychiatric sessions with Medical Director and Psychiatrist Dr. Todd Hill. These sessions address medication evaluation and ongoing management, psychiatric assessment, diagnostic clarification, and coordination with the broader multidisciplinary clinical team. Dr. Todd Hill’s approach to psychiatric care is whole-person and integrative, situating each client’s psychiatric presentation within the full context of their trauma history, nervous system state, autoimmune health profile, and overall physical and psychological wellbeing.
Psychiatric Care Beyond Medication Management
Psychiatric care at Highlands in Bloom extends well beyond medication management. Dr. Todd Hill works collaboratively with Clinical Program Director Stacy McNeal, PhD, LMFT and the clinical team to ensure that psychiatric findings are integrated into the full treatment plan and that the relationship between psychiatric symptoms, physiological health, and the clinical therapeutic work is understood and addressed holistically.
