Services
Initial Psychiatric Evaluation
Our comprehensive 90-minute evaluations include detailed screening forms and clinical interviews to identify underlying mental health conditions. This thorough diagnostic process ensures accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment planning tailored to individual needs.
Ketamine Therapy
We offer ketamine therapy for treatment-resistant depression and anxiety disorders. This innovative approach delivers rapid symptom relief through intravenous infusions administered in a controlled clinical setting under medical supervision.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Our TMS therapy uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain regions associated with mood regulation. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses depression and anxiety without requiring anesthesia or medication.
Genetic Testing
We utilize genetic testing to analyze how patients metabolize psychiatric medications. This precision medicine approach identifies optimal medication choices and dosages to minimize trial-and-error prescribing.
EMDR Trauma Therapy
Our EMDR therapy helps patients reprocess traumatic memories through guided eye movements. This evidence-based treatment effectively reduces symptoms of PTSD and trauma-related anxiety disorders.
