Psychiatric Evaluations
This premium assessment service incorporates skilled clinical interview with objective testing data to enhance structure and increase reliability/accuracy in clinical/legal situations for children, adults, and elders. Psychological/neuropsychological testing supports clinical and legal rationale for understanding the experience of neurodevelopmental disorders, medical disorders, parameters of policy/law/ethics, intelligence, learning disorders, personality disorders, maladaptive coping, brain injury, dementia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and ADHD.
Medication Management
Medication can have a therapeutic effect on mood, sensation, thinking, and behavior. Our specialist providers prescribe psychotropic medications to treat emotional/behavioral disorders. Our psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, physician associates and advanced practice psychologists who are involved in the practice of psychopharmacology provide diagnostic assessments, medication/drug therapy or medication recommendation (psychologists), medication management, and medical consultations with primary care physicians. We work closely with our psychotherapists to provide optimal coordinated care through direct communication and team meetings
In addition to providing unified psychiatric care at our clinic, our psychiatric providers can provide the following services:
- Stand-alone psychiatric care for patients who do not want or need to see a therapist
- Patients who already have a therapist of their own in the community but who want to see a psychiatrist
- Laboratory testing for expert and safe prescribing
- Genetic testing to assess for the appropriateness of certain medications
- Coordination with other medical providers for conditions that impact mental health
- Military-Informed Medication Management – understanding the impact of medication on the suitability of certain military specialties
- Close collaboration with psychologists and psychotherapy
Fitness-for-Duty / Limited Duty Assessment
Advanced TMS provides comprehensive psychological evaluations to determine whether an individual is ready and able to safely perform the essential functions of their job. These assessments are especially valuable for employees returning from leave, experiencing performance concerns, or requiring workplace accommodations. We work with employers, employees, and care teams to deliver clear, objective recommendations that balance safety, productivity, and individual well-being. Whether full clearance or limited duty is appropriate, our goal is to support both organizational needs and the mental health of the individual.
Disability / C&P Evaluation
We offer thorough, evidence-based psychological evaluations to support disability claims and compensation & pension (C&P) determinations. These assessments provide an objective measure of mental health conditions, functional limitations, and their impact on daily life or occupational performance. We work closely with patients, attorneys, and agencies to ensure accurate documentation and clear clinical findings. Whether for Social Security disability, VA benefits, or other compensation programs, our evaluations are conducted with professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail, helping individuals navigate an often complex process with confidence.
TMS Therapy (for Depression & PTSD)
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment for depression and other mental health conditions that have not fully responded to medication or therapy. Using gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate targeted areas of the brain, TMS can help improve mood, increase energy, and restore quality of life—without the side effects often associated with medications. Treatments are conducted in our clinic by trained professionals in a comfortable, supportive setting. Many patients begin to notice positive changes within a few weeks, making TMS a safe and effective option for lasting relief.
Spravato® / Ketamine Therapy
For individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression or persistent symptoms despite traditional approaches, Spravato® (esketamine) and ketamine therapy offer a new path forward. These FDA-approved, clinic-based treatments work differently from standard antidepressants, targeting brain pathways involved in mood regulation to provide rapid and meaningful relief. Administered under the careful supervision of our trained clinical team, each session takes place in a safe, comfortable environment with ongoing monitoring and support. Many patients report significant improvements in mood, clarity, and overall well-being—often within hours to days—opening the door to renewed hope and recovery.
