Medication Management
Our psychiatric providers specialize in personalized medication management for mental health conditions. We evaluate each patient's unique needs to create tailored treatment plans using the latest research-backed approaches. Our team treats depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, and bipolar disorder with careful prescribing and responsive follow-up care. For treatment-resistant cases, we explore advanced options like Spravato therapy while offering both telehealth and in-person appointments for convenience.
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) offers a non-invasive treatment option for major depressive disorder. Using targeted magnetic pulses, this FDA-approved therapy stimulates underactive brain regions without requiring anesthesia or causing systemic side effects. Patients receive daily 20-minute sessions over 4-6 weeks using the Apollo TMS system, with most reporting symptom improvement within weeks. Our board-certified team ensures safe administration and monitors progress throughout the treatment course.
Spravato Treatment
Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray provides rapid-acting relief for treatment-resistant depression under medical supervision. This FDA-approved option works differently from traditional antidepressants by targeting NMDA receptors in the brain. Patients receive carefully monitored sessions in our calming environment, with observation periods before and after administration. When combined with oral antidepressants, Spravato has shown significant results for patients who haven't responded to other treatments, often showing improvement within hours to days.
