At Dana Behavioral Health, comprehensive neuropsychological testing is available for individuals across all age groups. These tests evaluate a variety of cognitive functions, including but not limited to memory, attention, processing speed, and problem-solving abilities. The insights gained from these assessments are critical in developing tailored interventions that enhance cognitive performance and improve daily functioning.
DBH offers Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy, an FDA-approved, non-pharmacological treatment option for individuals dealing with depression, anxiety related to depression, and OCD.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is another crucial service provided by Dana Behavioral Health.

By integrating nutritional counseling into their service offerings, DBH supports clients in understanding the interplay between diet, physical health, and mental well-being. This holistic approach is vital in managing a variety of health conditions, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness of mental health interventions.
