Mind / Soul

The word "psuche" is Greek for soul, which is where "psych" in psychology and psychiatry is derived.   Psychotherapy is considered therapy for the soul, and psychiatry is the diagnosis and treatment of soul disorders.  
We typically address psychological, behavioral and soul issues by using effective evidence-based techniques from a Christian framework and perspective.

Body

We address the physical and physiological manifestations of psychiatric disorders with medication and proven evidence-based therapy from a Christian perspective.  Medication is used in order to stabilize symptoms, allowing us to get to the root of the problem with Christian-centered therapy.  *We also offer traditional therapy.  
​
​We encourage our patients to adopt a healthy life-style: balanced diet, adequate sleep, sufficient physical exercise and limited consumption of alcohol and caffeine.  We educate our patients on how unresolved emotional, psychological and spiritual issues negatively impact the physical body, and the steps to take to prevent it.  
​We routinely collaborate patient care with primary care providers, and find this to be extremely beneficial to the treatment process. 

​Treatments Include:
Medication Management (*solely)
Medication Management (with therapy)
​*Sole medication management from TFCPC is only offered to patients who are currently in therapy with another provider or who have been referred to us by an outside therapist.   We do not believe patients can achieve true freedom when medication is prescribed without therapy, and we do not engage in this practice*
​

Spirit

Unresolved past emotional pain can result in a wounded soul.  Most people with psychiatric disorders have unhealed wounds in their soul.  But, when our spirit is fed with the healing power of God's Word and forgiveness permeates, we are able to begin the process of soul restoration.
​
The Fort Christian Psychiatric Center seeks to address unresolved past emotional pain by purposefully using Biblical Scriptures and the patient's personal relationship with Jesus Christ as the foundation for their treatment.  By including Christian Biblical principles in the therapeutic process, Dr. Fortuchang is able to remind patients of the infinite peace, hope, joy, strength and victory available to them from God.

We view the practice of Christian psychiatry as one of our sub-specialities.  Much like we have extensive experience in treating children, teens and in conducting forensic evaluations, we also have expertise in treating Christians (via a Biblically-based approach) who prefer to have their faith integrated in the treatment process.  

We understand and appreciate that not every patient has a relationship with Jesus nor prefers a Christian-based approach to treatment.  Though we have witnessed more profound improvement in patients who engaged in Christian-based treatment, we are just as skilled and equipped at providing excellent traditional psychiatric care to patients who prefer it. We honor, value and respect all of our patients (past, present and future), and we tailor their treatment to their specific needs and preferences.    

I pray that God, the source of HOPE, will fill you completely with JOY and PEACE because you trust in Him.  ​Then you will overflow with CONFIDENT HOPE through the power of The Holy Spirit.
