Services
Psychiatric Medication
Our psychiatric medication management combines comprehensive patient education with careful monitoring. We explain how medications affect brain chemistry and track progress through regular follow-ups, particularly during the critical initial 6-8 week treatment period. Our approach ensures patients understand medication mechanisms while we make data-driven adjustments to optimize outcomes.
ADHD Treatment
We provide board-certified ADHD assessments using tools like Conner's CPT3 testing. Our treatment combines medications such as Adderall, Vyvanse, and Strattera with cognitive therapies. For patients aged 8-17, we offer specialized ADHD testing without requiring full psychiatric evaluations, ensuring age-appropriate diagnostic accuracy.
Genetic Testing
Our non-invasive genetic testing uses cheek swabs to identify depression subtypes and medication responses. This precision medicine approach helps tailor antidepressant selection, reducing trial-and-error prescribing. Results guide personalized treatment plans that align with each patient's unique biological profile.
Neural Stimulation
As part of our comprehensive treatment modalities, we incorporate neural stimulation techniques alongside medication and cognitive therapies. These evidence-based interventions target brain chemistry imbalances through controlled stimulation protocols, offering alternative pathways to symptom relief for treatment-resistant conditions.
Mental Health Evaluation
Our diagnostic process includes in-depth interviews and medical history reviews to identify underlying conditions. Using board-certified assessment tools, we differentiate between similar disorders like anxiety vs. depression, and determine optimal treatment approaches through comprehensive psychiatric evaluations.
