The team prescribes psychiatric medications to ease your symptoms. They also provide ongoing medication management appointments to monitor your ongoing wellness.
Psychotherapy (talk therapy) includes many therapeutic approaches that teach skills, provide information, and help you identify and change difficult thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
In addition to treating mental health disorders, psychotherapy can help you navigate many life transitions and challenges, from managing anger and building self-esteem to working through trauma and improving communication.
Ketamine is a medication for treatment-resistant depression and suicidal thoughts. This medication works when other antidepressants fail and typically provides rapid and long-lasting relief.
Genetic testing shows if you carry the genes for an inherited disease or have acquired genetic variations that increase your risk of physical and mental health conditions.
Several psychiatric disorders run in families and may have genetic roots, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ADS), depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
This type of genetic testing reveals how your body metabolizes medications. Pharmacogenomic testing also identifies psychiatric medications likely to cause side effects due to your unique genetic variations.
