Services
TMS Therapy
TMS therapy uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain regions linked to mood regulation. This non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment targets treatment-resistant depression with minimal side effects. Patients receive personalized sessions in an outpatient setting, promoting symptom relief and improved quality of life through neurochemical balance.
Telepsychiatry
Telepsychiatry offers remote mental health consultations via secure video platforms. This service ensures continuity of care for patients facing transportation barriers or scheduling conflicts. It includes medication management, therapy sessions, and psychiatric evaluations conducted from the comfort of home.
Substance Abuse Treatment
Our medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program combines Suboxone therapy with counseling to address opioid addiction. Evidence-based protocols reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms while behavioral therapy targets emotional triggers. This dual approach supports long-term recovery and relapse prevention.
Counseling
Counseling services include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused techniques. Licensed therapists address anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and grief. Sessions emphasize skill-building for emotional resilience and healthier decision-making.
Psychiatric Evaluation
Comprehensive psychiatric evaluations clarify diagnoses and identify psychosocial factors affecting treatment. Services include medication prescriptions for conditions like ADHD, PTSD, and schizophrenia. Follow-up care ensures tailored adjustments to medication and therapy plans.

Well I just want to start out by saying my therapist Amy is awesome and most of the staff is great but, will your appointment ever be at the scheduled time? Absolutely not. Will you run out of important medications frequently due to poor communication? All the time. Until I finally said something I was being seen by a different NP every week. Anyone who sees a psychiatrist or therapist knows it is important to see the same doctor because each doctor does things a little different. I had 2 providers completely contradict one another here. That's a big deal because my medications were changing drastically

Went here to start a TMS treatment regiment, I got helped and treated by Makayla. She was super nice and made me feel so comfortable. I definitely would recommend at least coming in for a consultation and make sure you ask for Makayla!
