Services
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved treatment for depression, OCD, and chronic insomnia. This non-invasive procedure uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. Patients receive personalized treatment plans with regular monitoring to ensure optimal outcomes.
Spravato Treatment
Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray treats treatment-resistant depression in adults. Administered under medical supervision, this REMS-certified program includes comprehensive monitoring. It works through NMDA receptor modulation to improve depressive symptoms when other treatments fail.
ADHD Testing
Comprehensive ADHD evaluations for children and adults include psychiatric assessments and cognitive testing. We develop individualized treatment plans combining behavioral therapy, counseling, and medication management. Follow-up visits ensure treatment effectiveness and symptom improvement.
Genetic Testing
Pharmacogenomic testing analyzes DNA to predict medication responses. This cheek-swab test identifies genetic variations affecting drug metabolism. Results guide personalized psychopharmacology decisions to optimize treatment efficacy and minimize adverse reactions for mental health conditions.
Telemedicine Services
Secure telehealth consultations provide accessible mental health care via mobile devices. Services include medication management, therapy sessions, and follow-up appointments. This HIPAA-compliant platform accommodates patients with mobility challenges or busy schedules while maintaining care quality.
