Pharmacogenetic Testing for Better Mental Health

Not everyone responds the same way to standard treatments which can result in frustration. Many individuals experience incomplete relief from their first medication, often due to genetic differences. Through a simple saliva sample, our pharmacogenetic testing identifies which medications may be most effective for you while also flagging those that could lead to unwanted side effects.

Our testing offers a more precise and targeted approach, helping to reduce the trial-and-error period commonly associated with finding the right psychiatric medication. For example, certain genetic markers may indicate better responses to specific classes of antidepressants or a higher likelihood of side effects like weight gain. This valuable insight allows us to fine-tune your treatment plan for optimal results

Having ADHD often means facing daily challenges with concentration. It’s not just about being easily distracted but also about the struggle to keep your thoughts in line and tasks on track. Our therapy sessions are designed to give you strategies to improve your focus.

This involves learning techniques to keep your mind on the task, breaking down large tasks into manageable steps, and finding ways to minimize distractions. Our goal is to help you turn these challenges into strengths, and help you have smoother, more productive days.
