Our Psychiatric Services
Medication Management
Our approach to medication management focuses on the safe and effective use of psychiatric medications to achieve the best possible outcomes. We conduct thorough evaluations to ensure any prescribed treatment aligns with your specific needs, and we closely monitor progress to optimize your care plan.
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved therapy for depression. It uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. TMS is a well-tolerated option for those who have not found relief with antidepressant medications.
SPRAVATO® (Esketamine)
SPRAVATO® is an FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression. It works differently than traditional antidepressants by targeting the brain’s glutamate system, often providing rapid symptom relief. This treatment is administered in our office under professional supervision.
IV & IM Ketamine Therapy
We offer both intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) ketamine therapy for certain mental health conditions. As a rapid-acting treatment, ketamine can help modulate brain activity to alleviate symptoms of treatment-resistant depression. All sessions are conducted in a controlled, supervised medical setting.
Workers' Compensation Psychiatry
Navigating a mental health condition related to a workplace incident requires specialized care. We provide psychiatric evaluations and treatment for individuals within the workers’ compensation system. Our goal is to support your recovery and facilitate a safe return to well-being.
