Why am I always tired? Is this due to the season, stress or is this depression? Is my child’s inattentiveness due to ADHD or depression? Is my teenager’s changing personality due to drug use, Bipolar or hormonal changes? Can prescription drugs use lead to addiction? My relatives suffer from addiction; are my children genetically at risk? Is there hope? Can any one understand my issues as a woman? Where can I find psychological support while going through infertility issues? Can anyone understand my struggles with menopause or P.M.S.? My mother is beginning to forget things, is this dementia or is this normal aging?

About Us

At The Potters Behavioral Medicine Clinic we have the answers.
We offer a holistic approach to your struggles with addiction and mental illness. From answering your basic questions, to providing intervention, we will work with you and for you.

Everyone is unique; Women are made up psychologically and physiologically different from men and they react differently to available treatment modalities. Women sometimes deal with issues that are very sensitive i.e. menopause or fertility problems. Several services are available to address these issues.
The teenage years herald in numerous diagnostic possibilities such as bipolar, drug abuse, personality issues, identity crisis, mood swings secondary to hormonal changes to name a few. Unfortunately a lot of people have been misdiagnosed due to various reasons.

Misdiagnosis automatically leads to failure of treatment, wasted resources, frustration at home, work and school, placement on numerous medication and even death.

After years of shortage of professionals in the mental health and addiction field, to fill the gap, other professionals have gradually crossed the professional boundaries of their areas of expertise with very little training. Hence if the only tool you have is a hammer every problem becomes a nail.

Mental health disorders are distinct from addictive disorders in origin, management and in course. They have very similar clinical presentation and many times they coexist.
Here are some examples; mood swings can be due to hyperthyroidism, your diet, premenstrual syndrome, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, side effect of medication, steroid abuse, opiate abuse and amphetamine abuse. Memory problems can be due to depression, dementia, A.D.H.D., Xanax or Klonopin use, side effects of certain medication or normal aging.

At the Potter’s Behavioral Medicine Clinic we start with a thorough workup including blood work to rule out any underlying medical condition. We review your medication list thoroughly to ensure that none is contributing to your mental health problem. For those interested we also have a unique program in which we are able to determine the pattern of drug use in an individual in the past 3-6 months. This will help inform the treatment options offered. Under the expert care of Dr Oyebanjo, who is a Certified Medical Review officer (an expert in forensic drug testing) we are able to provide ongoing monitoring of drug use by your loved one or that valuable employee you decided to give a last chance after a positive drug test.
You are then offered various forms of intervention which are multidimensional. Some examples are medication management (i.e. antidepressant antianxiety, mood stabilizer, Suboxone, Chantix), traditional and faith based counseling, psychotherapy and nutrients.

The whole family is engaged in treatment, being fully aware that when a family member suffers, the whole family suffers. Consultation services are available for those concerned about their loved ones, to educate them on the struggles of their loved ones, how to relate positively with them, what to expect and the various interventions available.
We offer after hours and weekend appointments. Your individuality, autonomy and anonymity are important to us. We offer a faith friendly environment. Who are you entrusting your mind to? Trust the experts at the Potter’s Clinic.

You don't need to suffer in silence. There is private and confidential help available for you today.
