Welcome to June: Brain First. Whole Person. Always.
— By Brian Mears, DNAP, APRN, CRNA, PMHNP-BC
Modern psychiatry is undergoing a long-overdue transformation.
For decades, mental health care has functioned like a guessing game. Clinicians identify symptoms, apply a label, and prescribe a medication—often without any way to see what’s actually happening inside the brain. And when that treatment doesn’t work, the solution is usually to try a different medication… or add more.
This trial-and-error model may be common, but it’s deeply flawed. When the brain is the most complex organ in the human body, guesswork isn’t enough. Not for our patients. Not for our mission.
At Alleviant, we’re rewriting that narrative.
We believe healing starts with the brain—and includes every part of the person.
Brain First. Whole Person. Always.
Objective Psychiatry Begins with Visibility
We begin by asking a simple question:
What if we could measure the brain just like we measure blood pressure or heart rate?
With spectral EEG (sEEG), we can.
In just four minutes, sEEG provides a real-time snapshot of brainwave activity across every region of the brain. This allows us to detect:
Slowed front lobe activity in depression or brain fog
Overactivity in anxiety, obsessive thinking, overstimulation, or PTSD
These are just examples, as the neurons tell the story. They have kept the score. We can now see objectively what you have subjectively experiencing.
This isn’t theory—it’s measurable. With this data, we’re no longer guessing. We’re seeing. And that clarity changes everything.
sEEG gives us the first vital sign for the brain, allowing for precise diagnosis, personalized care plans, and objective progress tracking.
PrTMS®: Targeting the Brain with Precision
Once we’ve identified where the brain is out of sync, we can guide it back into rhythm.
Personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (PrTMS®) is one of our most powerful tools. Unlike standard TMS, PrTMS® is guided by your individual sEEG results. It delivers gentle magnetic pulses to specific regions of the brain that are underperforming—helping neurons regain their natural rhythm and connectivity.
This targeted approach has been transformative for patients struggling with:
Cognitive dysfunction and burnout
By using your own brain’s data to guide treatment, PrTMS® represents the future of psychiatric care: personalized, non-invasive, and brain-directed.
Unlike traditional TMS, you will not feel PrTMS®. It is relaxing. It is enjoyable.
NeuroSync™: Healing Beyond a Single Modality
While PrTMS® helps synchronize neuronal activity directly, it’s only one part of our model.
NeuroSync™ is our comprehensive, multimodal system for restoring brain harmony. It integrates a range of interventions—each one aimed at optimizing brain function through different pathways:
Medication management, when appropriate, to stabilize severe symptoms
Therapy and trauma-informed counseling to help rewire harmful thought patterns
Nutritional psychiatry to correct micronutrient deficiencies that impair neurotransmission
Health coaching for lifestyle upgrades in sleep, movement, stress management, and more
Spiritual integration, where desired, to align identity, values, and healing
NeuroSync™ is not a device or a single treatment—it’s an orchestrated plan for full-person restoration, designed around your unique needs and biology
We don’t treat symptoms in silos. We bring the whole picture together—because your brain doesn’t heal in parts. It heals as a system.
You Were Designed to Heal
Depression is not a personality flaw. Anxiety is not a moral weakness. Burnout, brain fog, or emotional numbness aren’t permanent conditions. They are signals—indicators that something in the brain’s rhythm, structure, or chemistry is off balance.
And balance can be restored.
We’ve seen patients who have suffered for years—sometimes decades—finally find relief when we treat the root. We’ve watched non-verbal children become verbal. Veterans with PTSD sleep through the night. Executives reclaim cognitive clarity. Parents reconnect with joy.
Not through pills alone, but through precision, partnership, and a whole-person approach.
A New Standard for Mental Health
Mental Health Awareness Month may have ended in May, but at Alleviant, our commitment doesn’t waver with the calendar.
This June, we’re doubling down on what it really takes to heal:
Daily practices like outdoor walking and post-meal movement that stabilize glucose and improve mood
Recognizing emotional numbness—especially in men—as a symptom, not a norm
Reconnecting with nature, rhythm, light, and purpose
Using data, not guesswork, to drive treatment
Building brains that are resilient, coherent, and fully alive
This is more than a new model. It’s a new standard.
Begin Your Healing Journey
You weren’t created to live in survival mode.
You were designed to think clearly, feel deeply, and live fully.
If you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked—it’s time to try something different. Something objective. Something integrated. Something built around you.
Brain first. Whole person. Always.
