Psychiatric Evaluation
Our board-certified psychiatrists conduct comprehensive evaluations to diagnose mental health conditions and develop personalized treatment plans. We combine clinical expertise with Christian perspective to address anxiety, depression, and complex psychiatric issues through medication management and therapy.
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation offers non-invasive treatment for depression and anxiety disorders. This FDA-approved therapy uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, providing relief with fewer side effects than traditional medications.
Christian Counseling
Our licensed counselors integrate biblical principles with evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT. Services address anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and spiritual struggles through individual, marriage, and family therapy sessions.
Health Coaching
Personalized programs help clients develop healthy habits in nutrition, exercise, and spiritual practices. Our coaching supports mental wellness through practical lifestyle changes that complement traditional therapy and medical treatment.
Ketamine Treatment
IV ketamine treatments provide rapid relief for treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. This innovative approach shows promise for patients who haven't responded to conventional antidepressants, with sessions administered under medical supervision.
