We help people suffering from mood disorders and chronic pain using innovative holistic treatments.
Comprehensive Psychotherapy
Our therapists offer hour-long therapy sessions for patients who wish to release depression, make changes in their behavior, heal broken relationships, and process trauma. We used research-based regimens such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and some of our therapists and counselors also offer life coaching, substance abuse and addiction recovery, marriage counseling, family therapy, and more.
Medication Management
Medication management appointments are a chance for providers and patients to discuss medication use and efficacy so that the provider can adjust or change doses as needed and refill prescriptions. These sessions are conducted by a psychiatric nurse practitioner or a psychiatrist.
Ketamine Infusion Therapy
Ketamine Infusions are an effective treatment for mood disorders and certain pain conditions. Approximately 70% of patients experience a significant reduction in symptoms – many during the first infusion. Ketamine infusion therapy requires multiple infusions over a short period of time, and range from one to several hours, depending on the diagnosis.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
TMS is a non-invasive procedure for treatment-resistant depression. It delivers magnetic impulses through an electromagnetic coil to the prefrontal cortex, the region of the brain associated with mood control. TMS helps nerves begin to communicate again and reinforces positive nerve pathways. Therapy takes place five days a week for four to six weeks. Each treatment lasts less than 4 minutes. TMS is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression. We preauthorize patients to make sure that their insurance is accepted.
GeneSight® Testing
If you have been diagnosed with depression and failed at least one medication, we perform a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes how your DNA may affect your response to depression medications. The results of the test help us prescribe a more genetically optimal medication and avoid medications that may cause side effects or be less likely to work.
We see people with the following health conditions:
Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and apathy. It affects how you feel, think, and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems.
Postpartum depression is moderate to severe depression in a woman after she has given birth. It may occur soon after delivery or up to a year later. Most of the time, it occurs within the first three months after delivery.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychological reaction occurring after experiencing a highly stressful event (such as wartime combat, physical violence, or a natural disaster) that is usually characterized by depression, anxiety, flashbacks, recurrent nightmares, and avoidance of reminders of the event.
Anxiety is a persistent feeling of apprehension and fear, characterized by physical symptoms such as palpitations, sweating, and feelings of stress. Anxiety disorders are a group of mental illnesses including panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder sometimes called manic-depression which involves cycles of depression and elation or mania. It is characterized by unpredictable changes in mood and impaired social function.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is an anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent obsessions or compulsions or both that cause significant distress, are time-consuming or interfere with normal daily functioning, and are recognized by the individual affected as excessive or unreasonable.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread pain, tenderness, and stiffness of muscles and associated connective tissue structures that is typically accompanied by fatigue, headache, and sleep disturbances.
Migraine headaches are recurring headaches characterized by severe throbbing pain, dizziness, and light and sound sensitivity during the acute phase. The disorder occurs more frequently in women than men, and a predisposition to migraine may be inherited.
CRPS a condition of unknown pathogenesis that causes chronic pain in part or all of the arms and legs. It is characterized by severe and often burning pain. CRPS is often accompanied by swelling, skin discoloration, abnormal sweating, and impaired motor function in the affected area.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of joints. Rheumatoid disease can also involve inflammation of tissues in other areas of the body, such as the lungs, heart, and eyes.
Peripheral neuropathy is a disease or degenerative state of the peripheral nerves in which motor, sensory, or vasomotor nerve fibers may be affected and which is marked by muscle weakness and atrophy, pain, and numbness.
Sciatica refers to pain or discomfort associated with the sciatic nerve. This nerve runs from the lower part of the spinal cord, down the back of the leg, and to the foot. Injury to or pressure on the sciatic nerve can cause the characteristic pain of sciatica: a sharp or burning pain that radiates from the lower back or hip, possibly following the path of the sciatic nerve to the foot.
Our team is dedicated to helping you heal pain, restore hope, and regain purpose
