About

Center For Focused Care

Matthew Sipple, D.O. — Psychiatrist Dr. Matthew Sipple, D.O., provides psychiatric care focused on evaluating, diagnosing, and treating mental health conditions. Psychiatric care considers the complex relationship between emotional well-being, brain function, physical health, life experiences, and daily functioning. Psychiatric services may include comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, ongoing symptom monitoring, and individualized treatment planning. Care is tailored to each patient's symptoms, treatment history, needs, and goals. Psychiatric treatment may address concerns such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and other mental health conditions. When appropriate, treatment may be coordinated with psychotherapy, psychological services, or other evidence-based interventions to support a comprehensive approach to care. Dr. Sipple works with patients to evaluate treatment options, monitor progress, and make informed decisions about their mental health care. Melanie Dunbar, Ph.D. — Psychologist Dr. Melanie Dunbar, Ph.D., provides psychological services to support individuals experiencing emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and psychological challenges. Psychological care can help individuals better understand their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and responses to stress. Through appropriate psychological services, patients may gain insight into patterns that affect their relationships, work, daily responsibilities, and overall quality of life. Psychological services may include psychological evaluation, assessment, and other services within the practitioner's scope of practice and areas of specialization. These services can help clarify presenting concerns, identify individual strengths and needs, and inform recommendations for treatment and support. Our approach recognizes that mental health is multifaceted. Psychological and psychiatric services can complement one another when clinically appropriate, helping patients pursue care that addresses their individual circumstances. Our Mental Health Services Psychiatric Evaluation and Medication Management Psychiatric care begins with understanding each patient's concerns, symptoms, history, and treatment goals. An evaluation can help identify potential mental health conditions and guide recommendations for appropriate care. Medication management involves reviewing current medications, evaluating treatment response, monitoring symptoms and potential side effects, and making adjustments when clinically indicated. Treatment decisions are individualized and made in collaboration with the patient. Psychological Services Psychological services can help patients better understand and address emotional, behavioral, and cognitive concerns. Depending on individual needs and the services available, psychological evaluation and assessment may contribute to diagnostic clarification, treatment planning, and recommendations for additional support. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) For individuals who continue to experience symptoms despite traditional treatment approaches, transcranial magnetic stimulation may offer another treatment option. TMS is a noninvasive, technology-based treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. Our goal is to help patients understand what TMS involves, determine whether an evaluation may be appropriate, and explore treatment options with a qualified provider.
