Psychiatric Evaluation
Our comprehensive psychiatric evaluations involve 60-90 minute sessions where clinicians gather detailed biopsychosocial histories to establish accurate diagnoses. Using evidence-based methodologies, we assess symptoms within their personal, medical, and developmental contexts to create individualized treatment plans that may include medication management and therapy.
Medication Management
Our psychiatrists prescribe FDA-approved medications for depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and other mental health conditions. We collaborate with patients to select optimal treatments, considering genetic factors through pharmacogenomic testing. Follow-up sessions ensure proper monitoring and adjustment of medication regimens to maximize effectiveness and minimize side effects.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT services focus on identifying and modifying thought patterns affecting mental wellness. Our therapists use this evidence-based approach to treat anxiety, depression, and other conditions by developing practical coping strategies. Sessions incorporate homework assignments and skill-building exercises to reinforce progress between appointments.
Pharmacogenomic Testing
This innovative service analyzes genetic markers to predict medication responses, reducing trial-and-error prescribing. The non-invasive cheek swab test helps identify medications most likely to be effective with minimal side effects, particularly beneficial for patients with complex psychiatric histories or multiple unsuccessful medication trials.
Psychological Testing
Our comprehensive psychological testing assesses cognitive functioning, learning abilities, and emotional regulation through standardized measures. The 4-12 hour evaluation process includes interviews, behavioral observations, and questionnaires completed by parents and teachers to develop targeted intervention strategies for children and adults.

Had my first meeting with Dr. Jack Shier yesterday. I dont know yet how effective our medication decision will be, but I do know that I was given a very high level of care from the moment I put in an inquiry online. His staff called me within 24 hours. They explained the process, costs, and set me up for an appointment. They confirmed my appointment and got me all the forms beforehand. The forms were easy to complete. The office staff called me an hour prior to my telemed appointment and confirmed I knew how to log on. Dr. Shier logged on at the appointed time. Typically I wait a long time at

I really appreciate Dr. Jack Shier, he has been an excellent care provider. However, the only reason this review is not 5 stars is because the receptionist is crude and unsympathetic, borderline rude. A little customer service friendliness would go a long way.

By far the best experience with woth a psychiatrist I've ever had! I was diagnosed with ADHD in Nov of 2020 and never really had any of the two previous provider explain treatment options or how to navigate symptoms-I was just put on medication. Dr. Shier actually took the time to explain everything to me and I left our appointment with more insight as to what to expect now and in the future as far as my treatment plan. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. SHIER! His office staff was a delight to work with as well and very responsive!

After seeing the reviews for Dr. Shier, I had to submit a review. I have been going to see Dr. Shier monthly or every other month for about a year and a half. She is incredibly engaging, kind, and really makes you feel comfortable and normal for being there. I'm anxious and have trouble going to any doctors appointment, excepts appointments with Dr. Shier. Doctors are human too and have bad days, but I can't even imagine her being unengaged. The entire vibe in the lobby and in her office is very calming. They also have a tablet you check In with, which for me is super nice bc I&apos
