Our Psychiatric Services in Concord, CA
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression and OCD. It uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate nerve cells in brain regions associated with mood control. This therapy is a well-tolerated option for patients who have not found relief with antidepressant medications.
SPRAVATO® (Esketamine)
SPRAVATO® is an FDA-approved prescription nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression. It works differently than other antidepressants by targeting specific brain receptors to help restore neural pathways. Administered under supervision in our office, SPRAVATO® can offer rapid relief from depressive symptoms.
Medication Management
Our medication management service ensures the safe and effective use of psychiatric medications. A psychiatrist will work with you to find the right medication and dosage to manage conditions like anxiety and depression. We provide ongoing monitoring and adjustments to optimize your results and support your wellness journey.
IV and IM Ketamine Therapy
We offer both intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) ketamine therapy for treatment-resistant mental health conditions. Ketamine works rapidly by modulating the brain’s glutamate system, which can lead to swift improvements in mood. Our medical team supervises these treatments closely in a safe environment to ensure patient comfort.
Personal Injury Psychiatry
A personal injury can have significant psychological effects. We provide expert psychiatric evaluations and treatment to address the mental health impacts of such events, including trauma and anxiety. Our goal is to support your recovery by helping you manage the related cognitive and behavioral changes.
Workers' Compensation Psychiatry
Navigating a workers’ compensation claim can be stressful, especially when dealing with a work-related mental health condition. We offer psychiatric evaluations and treatment for individuals in the workers’ compensation system, focusing on providing the care needed to facilitate recovery and a return to well-being.

Why Choose Vortex?
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (M.D.) who can diagnose and treat complex mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and administer medical treatments. Therapists, such as psychologists or counselors, primarily provide talk therapy and cannot prescribe medication. At Vortex Psychiatry, our services focus on expert medical evaluation, medication management, and advanced psychiatric treatments.
What should I expect during my first appointment?
Your initial visit involves a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. This collaborative conversation helps our psychiatrist make an accurate diagnosis and develop a personalized care plan that aligns with your needs.
How are treatments like TMS or SPRAVATO® decided?
Decisions about advanced treatments like TMS Therapy or SPRAVATO® are made after a thorough assessment. These options are typically considered for conditions like treatment-resistant depression when other methods have not been effective. Your psychiatrist will discuss all appropriate options with you.
Do you accept insurance for psychiatric services?
We accept many major insurance plans. We recommend ating our office to verify your specific coverage for services like TMS Therapy or medication management. Our team can also provide information about our private pay options.
