Comprehensive Psychiatry

We offer ­­­­­­­­­a full range of mental health care: from psychiatric evaluations to medication management, TMS or ketamine, and counseling for children, couples, and adults. Because our brains are in a constant state of transformation, reorganizing synaptic connections and growing, full healing of emotional trauma is absolutely possible. Our patients work with therapists to acquire different perspectives and new thought patterns to process their trauma and subsequent life events in a healthy manner.

Counseling

Counseling is about restoring hope in yourself when you don’t feel like you have anywhere to go. We create a safe place to share your innermost feelings, allowing you to gain perspective and learn about yourself. Counseling is the first step to healing the whole person as you journey to rediscover hope. From our initial goal-setting sessions to the progress you make during each visit, you are in control of the process.

Ketamine Infusion Therapy

Ketamine debuted as a “buddy drug” during the Vietnam War, since it was so safe non-medical personnel could administer it on the battlefield for injuries. Multiple studies discovered ketamine’s antidepressant properties, and since that time, additional research has highlighted ketamine as an effect treatment for PTSD, OCD, bipolar depression, anxiety and panic disorders, fibromyalgia, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, migraines, and other pain syndromes.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a clinically meaningful and effective treatment of depression (major depressive disorder). The treatment is non-invasive, and does not require anesthesia. TMS is a drug-free alternative to antidepressant medication, and is offered to patients either not responding to their medication or who cannot tolerate the side effects.
