TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive FDA-approved treatment for depression and OCD. Using magnetic pulses to target underactive brain regions, TMS offers rapid relief without anesthesia or medication side effects. Our precision-based approach ensures personalized treatment protocols, with sessions lasting 3-20 minutes. Ideal for treatment-resistant cases, TMS provides lasting benefits through neuroplasticity, helping patients regain emotional stability and quality of life.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy combines controlled ketamine administration with guided therapy sessions to treat severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD. This breakthrough treatment promotes neuroplasticity, enabling patients to break negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Our certified clinicians ensure safe, supervised sessions in a supportive environment, integrating psychotherapy to maximize long-term therapeutic outcomes for treatment-resistant mental health conditions.
Psychopharmacology
Our board-certified psychiatrists provide comprehensive medication management using evidence-based pharmacology. Through detailed genetic testing and personalized treatment plans, we optimize medication selection and dosing for conditions like depression, anxiety, and ADHD. This precision approach minimizes trial-and-error, reduces side effects, and ensures effective symptom management while monitoring patient progress through regular follow-up appointments.
Depression Treatment
We offer multi-modal depression treatment including TMS therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and medication management. Our clinicians address biological, psychological, and environmental factors through personalized treatment plans. With expertise in treatment-resistant depression, we provide innovative solutions like neuronavigated brain stimulation and genetic testing to help patients achieve lasting remission and improved quality of life.
Anxiety Treatment
Our anxiety treatment programs combine advanced therapies like TMS and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy with traditional approaches. We specialize in treating generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and PTSD using evidence-based interventions tailored to individual needs. Through personalized medication management and therapeutic techniques, we help patients develop coping strategies and achieve long-term anxiety relief while addressing underlying neurological factors.
