Mental Health Clinic In Santa Rosa Shares Insight On Objectives

Mar 13, 2023

Santa Rosa, California -

March 13, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - Be the Change in Mental Health, a mental health clinic in Santa Rosa, California, is taking steps to serve the community at large, as outlined in their vision and mission. The mental health care clinic was launched in response to the growing need for mental health services in Northern California and is dedicated to providing high quality mental health services for the residents of Santa Rosa and the surrounding areas.

Dr. Marisha Chilcott of Be the Change in Mental Health says, "Whether personally affected by mental health issues or perhaps someone you love... it can feel devastating to the lives of the individuals, as well as the circle of family and friends that surround. We founded Be the Change in Mental Health with the hope to provide individuals that experience depression, anxiety or trauma access to innovative treatments such as Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). These two healing modalities paired in conjunction with one another, can provide outstanding results with great durability. Our clinic is one of a kind in the fact that we provide two completely different types of healing modalities that can be used individually or taken in concession with one another. This is what sets us apart in the growing field."

As Dr. Chilcott explains, the mental health clinic was founded to bring psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and other revolutionary treatment modalities for mental wellness to the public in a safe, medically-supervised, and legal manner. To that end, Be the Change in Mental Health employs a team of medical physicians and licensed therapists to deliver services designed to help those suffering from treatment-resistant mental health conditions, including depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and trauma.

The clinic’s objective is to create a scalable model that can be put to use in other clinics across the country, allowing access to these potentially life-saving therapies to millions of people. All treatments are conducted according to strict, scientifically-proven protocols by licensed professionals, according to the rules and regulations of the Department of Justice, the California Board of Medicine, and the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). Patients are all examined by a medical doctor and cleared for the treatment and then evaluated by a licensed therapist to ensure that they can be treated with the appropriate treatment.

The psychedelic medication used is also restricted to legal drugs. While this means that MDMA or psilocybin are not used in treatment at the moment, Be the Change in Mental Health expects this to change soon. The mental health clinic expects that MDMA will receive FDA approval within the next two years, and their therapists have already been through the required MAPS training programs. Similarly, their Santa Rosa, CA clinic was purpose-built to meet the special needs of patients who will receive this type of medication.

There are legislative actions being taken to decriminalize psilocybin, and a variety of other potential medications are still being developed (and going through clinical trials). Once these medications are legalized, Be the Change in Mental Health looks to lead the charge in providing alternative treatment options that utilize these new medications as well.

Dr. Chilcott says, “All therapy needs to have a purpose; an endpoint to work towards and actual goals to achieve. Being in therapy for years and years on end without feeling like you have made any actual progress can be really frustrating and counterintuitive to treating mental illness. This is why we focus on providing a patient-centric, data driven treatment that measures patients’ progress in a quantifiable manner. This also allows us to adjust each patient’s program as needed to maximize the benefits patients’ stand to gain from our treatments. Across all the therapeutic services we offer, we believe in helping the body and the mind heal itself. All of our therapists will work with you to explore the root causes of your mental illness and help free you from those limiting beliefs that keep you stuck.”

Anyone who is seeking psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy in Marin County should visit Be the Change in Mental Health’s official website for more information. The website provides detailed information about the full range of services and treatments offered by the clinic. Dr. Marisha Chilcott encourages interested parties to get in touch with her or another representative via phone or email. Be the Change in Mental Health also maintains a social media presence and invites social media users to find them on Instagram.

Cone eyes instant impact from Boatwright in Gilas debut

MANILA, Philippines — Tim Cone welcomes the entry of Bennie Boatwright as he’s set to make his debut as Gilas Pilipinas’ naturalized player in the fifth window of the FIBA World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers late this November. “He’s a talented guy; he’s gonna lend a lot of talent to the team and size and perimeter shooting, so he’s a welcome addition,” Cone said Tuesday night, during the post-game chat with sportswriters after Barangay Ginebra ousted San Miguel Beer, 110-94 in their PBA Season 50 Governors’ Cup quarterfinal series to seal the last semifinal spot.  Cone though recognizes the reality that the 6-10 former USC Trojan might struggle initially as he steps up the plate to take the spot of Justin Brownlee. “We’re certainly gonna miss Justin, however, ’cause Justin, he just knows what to do. “And that’s gonna be a difference,” Cone said, noting how much value the well-loved Ginebra resident import and Gilas naturalized player has brought to the teams he has played. “He’s gonna maybe struggle a little bit with what he’s supposed to do and how he’s supposed to do it, but we’re hoping his talent will win out on that,” added Cone, in what he could expect as an initial adjustment on the part of Boatwright. Boatwright joins the team in good playing condition as he’s currently seeing action for the Fujian Sturgeons in the Chinese Basketball Association. The 6-10 former San Miguel reinforcement adds size as he joins Kai Sotto, AJ Edu, Quentin Millora-Brown and Mike Phillips who were all named to the final 12 that will see action against Syria on Nov. 27.

LSGH tankers Mojdeh, Cabana make waves in NCAA Season 102 opener

MANILA, Philippines — La Salle Green Hills (LSGH) standout Behrouz Mohammad "Madi" Mojdeh served immediate notice of his might, capturing a gold and a silver medal as the NCAA Season 102 swimming competitions kicked off at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex. Mojdeh joined forces with Rodevic Gonzalvo, Gerald Esquivel, and Ram Ubiadas to seize the gold medal in the 4x50m medley relay. The LSGH quartet clocked a blistering 1 minute and 51.82 seconds to secure top honors, outclassing Colegio de San Juan de Letran, which settled for second place at 1:55.25. "I felt really good during the preliminaries, especially since it was my first time competing in the NCAA finals. But during warm-up, I started feeling a little heavy," Mojdeh shared. Mojdeh added a silver medal in the 200m backstroke with a time of 2:17.83, finishing behind teammate Titus Rafael Sia, who clocked an impressive 2:14.96. Aishel Cid Evangelista of Emilio Aguinaldo College placed third with 2:18.79. "I had to quickly reset for my 200m backstroke finals because we had very little recovery time. I felt strong at the start, although I rushed some of my turns. I'm glad I still managed another personal best, a podium finish, and a relay gold with my teammates," Mojdeh said. Mojdeh aims to add more hardware on Day 2 of the tournament, where he is set to compete in the 400m freestyle and 200m breaststroke. "I have the 400m freestyle and 200m breaststroke next. Hopefully, I can carry today's lessons into those races and perform even better," he added. LSGH teammate Kristian Yugo Cabana also bagged a silver medal in the 200m Individual Medley (IM) after submitting a time of 2:11.73. "I'm really happy with my performance in the 200m IM because I improved my time a lot. I tried pushing on the breaststroke leg, and it gave me good momentum going into the freestyle and finishing strong," Cabana said. This marked Cabana's debut appearance in the NCAA. "It was also my first event in the NCAA, so the excitement and adrenaline were definitely there. However, I was disappointed with my 100m freestyle. My two events were scheduled back-to-back, and I felt that I didn't have enough time to fully recover," Cabana admitted. "I believe that if I had even 15 more minutes to rest and prepare, I could have had a better chance of making the podium. Still, that's part of racing, and I have to learn how to manage these situations better." Like Mojdeh, Cabana faces another pair of events on the second day of competition. "I have another set of back-to-back events, so I'm hoping we'll have a little more recovery time to properly swim down and prepare for the next race. I'm determined to bounce back and give everything I have." Earlier, Mojdeh narrowly missed the podium in the 200m IM, finishing fourth with a time of 2:13.42. "In my 200m IM, I tried a different strategy by pushing harder on my backstroke leg, but I felt the fatigue during the breaststroke and freestyle. I also glided into the finish, which I think cost me a podium spot. I was disappointed, but I'm still happy I achieved a new personal best," Mojdeh reflected. TMT

Celtics beat Sixers 123-101 as Tatum outshines Brown

Celtics beat Sixers 123-101 as Tatum outshines Brown

NEW YORK — The Boston Celtics beat Philadelphia 123-101 to replace the 76ers at the top of the NBA Eastern Conference as Jayson Tatum outshone his former teammate Jaylen Brown in a much-hyped showdown Tuesday. Brown's first regular season clash against the Celtics team he called home for a decade played out against reports of a beef with his 2024 NBA title-winning partner Tatum. The two men have exchanged cryptic public barbs, apparently disagreeing over Tatum's knowledge of -- or role in -- Brown's shock trade this summer to the Sixers. Tatum greeted Brown moments before tip-off but was seemingly blanked, and the game began in feisty fashion, with a fired-up Brown making two steals but conceding two fouls in the opening minutes. But Brown was ultimately restricted to just 13 points on a frustrating night, against Tatum's 21, as Boston weathered a Philadelphia third-quarter comeback and rode to victory. "No game is bigger than the other, definitely in the regular season, you know -- it's one game," said Tatum. "The hoopla is over, and now we get all ready for tomorrow." The Celtics took an early lead, even as the Philadelphia crowd booed Tatum's every move, jeering loudly as he wildly misplaced a pass under pressure from VJ Edgecombe. But as the game settled into its rhythm it was veteran Paul George — who went the other direction, from Philadelphia to Boston, as part of the Brown package — who dominated. George racked up 36 points across the night, on superb shooting form including six three-pointers from 11 attempts. In the third quarter, Tatum soared above LeBron James for a driving dunk. But Philadelphia rallied, levelling the score at 76-76 and again at 79-79 with a monster Maxey three-pointer. Boston regrouped and raced out of sight down the final stretch, with George paying credit to Tatum for soaking up the opposition's focus, leaving him free to score. "Obviously JT demands so much attention. Playing off him has allowed me to get a lot of easy opportunities," he said. "At this point in my career, there's only one thing that I want to do, and that's win. And so, for him, especially for JT, (my role is) to alleviate any pressure, any friction. "I'm here to help you. I'm in a way here to serve you, make you become the best player that you can become." The battle of the top two teams in the East saw Boston move to 9-2 with a fourth straight win, with Philadelphia now 9-3. Also in the NBA on Tuesday, the defending champion New York Knicks thrashed the struggling Milwaukee Bucks 117-85. Jalen Brunson scored 23 and Karl-Anthony Towns continued his fine form with 21 points plus 16 rebounds. The Bucks slump to 1-10, having lost their former star man Giannis Antetokounmpo this summer. The Celtics had initially attempted to trade Brown for Antetokounmpo, kick-starting the saga, before Antetokounmpo ultimately moved to the Miami Heat and Brown ended up at Philadelphia.

Gauff upset at WTA Finals, Pegula back on track

Gauff upset at WTA Finals, Pegula back on track

LOS ANGELES — Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova upset Coco Gauff to storm into the last four of the WTA Finals at Indian Wells on Tuesday as Jessica Pegula reignited her challenge with victory over Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk. Czech eighth seed Noskova took advantage of a shaky serving performance by Gauff to complete a 6-3, 6-3 victory in group one to book her place in the semi-finals. Noskova broke Gauff's serve four times on her way to claiming the first set, and then grabbed the decisive break early in the second before sealing victory with her ninth ace of the match. "I'm very happy, obviously every win counts in this competition," Noskova said afterwards. "Coco is a big competitor so I had to be ready for everything that would come my way today. "You have to play to the very last point with Coco because she can always help herself out with her serve and fighting spirit. I felt like I played great to put some pressure on her," added Noskova, who defeated Ukraine's Kostyuk in her opening group match on Sunday. The defeat leaves Gauff and Pegula vying for the last remaining semi-final berth from group one. Pegula, beaten by Gauff in her opener Sunday, overcame a topsy-turvy second set to defeat Kostyuk 6-2, 7-5. Kostyuk is eliminated following Tuesday's defeat. "I feel like I'm playing well," Pegula said. "I felt my match against Coco was a super high-level match and that was a great match today. "It's so tricky with her because you just don't know what's gonna come — she will just step in and inject pace, she'll come and kamikaze the net, she goes for returns or her serve can get hot. That's what makes it difficult to play her." The 32-year-old American had looked in complete control in the first set, breaking Kostyuk in the first and seventh games to take the opener 6-2. A chaotic second set began with four consecutive service breaks before Kostyuk held for a 3-2 lead. The Ukrainian then had a break point in the next game but was unable to take advantage as Pegula held for 3-3. The next four games went with serve but Pegula finally grabbed the decisive break in the 11th game. She converted her fourth break point to take a 6-5 lead before holding for the match, sealing victory when Kostyuk smacked a forehand long.
