Co-located, Collborative, care

We are excited to offer co-located, collaborative psychiatry services with the psychiatric office of Heather K Henig, Md, LLC
We are so excited to start this new community partnership to expand psychiatric services to patients in the Fredericksburg community. Dr. Heather Henig will be providing services at our location starting in June 2019. Dr. Henig is a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist. While the psychologists and therapists at WellSpring provide therapy and other interventions, we are not able to prescribe medication. For patients who would benefit from medication, often in addition to therapy and behavioral interventions, psychiatry can be a very important part of the treatment plan. At WellSpring we are happy to collaborate with whichever psychiatrist you choose. However, having Dr. Henig working in the same office will allow us to have regular communication, to share patient information more easily (note: this will still be completely up to the patient, and will require a written consent for release of information), and to monitor cases more closely as they progress with treatment. We believe this will be a tremendous asset to our patients and community. 
"I firmly believe that the rapport between the physician and the patient is essential to providing effective care, and I always strive to maintain an open and transparent relationship. I am experienced in treating children, ages four and above, as well as teens and adults. My goal is to fully understand an  
individual's experience by evaluating the details in order to understand the big picture.
I make my recommendations after carefully evaluating the whole situation, in order to assess the best course of treatment to help the patient manage their symptoms.”
