Our Psychiatric Treatment Services
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression. It uses magnetic fields to gently stimulate underactive areas of the brain, promoting mood regulation without the systemic side effects of medication.
SPRAVATO® (Esketamine)
SPRAVATO® is an FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression. Administered in our office, it works differently than traditional antidepressants, often providing rapid symptom relief by targeting the brain’s glutamate system.
IV & IM Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine therapy, delivered intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM), is a fast-acting treatment for certain mood disorders. It works on different neural pathways than standard antidepressants to help create new connections in the brain and alleviate symptoms.

Why Choose Vortex?
What does a psychiatrist do?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in mental health. They are qualified to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders through various methods, including medication management and advanced treatments like TMS Therapy.
What can I expect during my first appointment?
Your first visit involves a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. This collaborative conversation helps us form an accurate diagnosis and develop a personalized treatment strategy that is right for you.
How is a psychiatrist different from a therapist?
While both professionals treat mental health conditions, a primary difference is that psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication. Therapists typically focus on psychotherapy. Our approach often integrates different treatment modalities for comprehensive care.
How are treatment plans created?
Treatment plans are created collaboratively after your initial assessment. We discuss our findings with you and explain the potential benefits of different approaches, such as medication, TMS Therapy, or SPRAVATO®, to decide on the best path forward together.
