Our Psychiatric Services
Medication Management
Our medication management services are designed to ensure the safe and effective use of psychiatric medications. We work closely with you to find the right prescriptions and dosages to manage symptoms and improve your quality of life. This process involves careful monitoring and adjustment to achieve the best possible results.
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It is an effective, well-tolerated treatment for conditions like depression, especially for those who have not found relief from medication. TMS therapy is performed in-office without sedation, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately.
SPRAVATO®
SPRAVATO® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression. Administered under professional supervision in our office, this innovative treatment can provide rapid relief from depressive symptoms. It works differently than traditional antidepressants by targeting the brain’s glutamate system.
IV Ketamine Therapy
IV Ketamine Therapy is an advanced treatment offered for individuals with certain mood disorders that have not responded to other treatments. Administered intravenously in a controlled, clinical setting, this therapy can produce rapid antidepressant effects. Our team closely monitors each session to ensure patient safety and comfort.
Personal Injury Psychiatry
A personal injury can have a significant psychological and emotional impact. We provide specialized psychiatric evaluations and care for individuals navigating personal injury cases. Our goal is to address the mental health consequences of your injury, such as PTSD or anxiety, and provide documentation to support your case.

What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (M.D. or D.O.) who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe and manage medication, and provide various forms of therapy. While therapists also provide therapy (talk therapy), they cannot prescribe medication. Our team at Vortex Psychiatry integrates medication management with overall psychiatric care.
What can I expect during my first psychiatric appointment?
Your first appointment involves a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation where we will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and personal goals. This initial meeting is a crucial step for us to understand your situation and begin developing a personalized treatment plan. It is a collaborative and confidential conversation.
How does your practice approach medication management?
We approach medication management as a collaborative partnership focused on safety and effectiveness. Our psychiatrists carefully select and monitor medications, making adjustments as needed to optimize your results and minimize side effects. We ensure you are fully informed about your treatment every step of the way.
Do you offer treatments for difficult-to-treat depression?
Yes, we specialize in advanced treatments for treatment-resistant depression. Our services include TMS Therapy, SPRAVATO®, and IV Ketamine Therapy, which have been shown to be effective for individuals who have not found relief with traditional antidepressant medications.
