Services
Mental Health Treatment
Our board-certified nurse practitioners provide comprehensive mental health treatment for conditions including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. We create individualized treatment plans combining medication management with therapeutic support to address each patient's unique needs. Our compassionate approach emphasizes evidence-based practices while maintaining accessibility through both in-person and virtual appointment options.
TMS Therapy
As one of the only Southwest Ohio providers, we offer FDA-approved TMS therapy for depression and OCD. This non-invasive treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate mood-regulating brain areas, offering relief when medications prove ineffective. Our NeuroStar-certified clinicians deliver personalized sessions lasting 20-40 minutes with no sedation required, ensuring patient comfort and convenience throughout the treatment process.
Telemedicine
We provide secure video-based telemedicine appointments for psychiatric evaluations and medication management. This service removes transportation barriers and work-related scheduling conflicts while maintaining the same high standard of care. Patients receive comprehensive treatment from their preferred location, with seamless integration to our patient portal for prescription refills and provider communication.
Medication Management
Our specialized medication management service combines clinical expertise with pharmacogenomics testing to optimize treatment outcomes. By analyzing genetic factors affecting medication response, we minimize trial-and-error prescribing. This approach helps identify effective treatments more efficiently while managing potential side effects through regular monitoring and dosage adjustments tailored to each patient's biological profile.
Pharmacogenomics Testing
This innovative service uses DNA analysis from simple cheek swabs to determine individual medication responses. By examining genetic markers related to drug metabolism, we create precision treatment plans that reduce adverse reactions and ineffective prescriptions. The non-invasive testing process provides actionable insights within days, enabling more accurate medication selection and dosing strategies for improved mental health outcomes.

What mental health conditions do you treat?

Pharmacogenomics testing identifies how your DNA affects medication processing. This allows personalized prescription selection, reducing trial-and-error prescribing and minimizing adverse reactions through science-based treatment planning.
What insurance do you accept?
We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid. TMS therapy is covered by many insurers - contact our office for verification of your specific mental health benefits.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
We prioritize timely access with same-week appointments typically available. New patients complete intake forms online before their first visit, which can often be scheduled within 3-5 business days.
