Psychiatric Evaluation

Treatment at our practice always opens with a thorough psychiatric evaluation, because everything that follows rests on getting the diagnosis right. Our providers review your current symptoms, your personal and family history, and the full record of medications and therapies attempted previously, so the plan we agree on targets the underlying problem rather than the most visible label.

Medication Management

Managing medication properly means staying involved long after the first prescription is written. We follow how you respond across weeks and months, pay attention to side effects that may be affecting your sleep, concentration or energy, and change doses or medications when it becomes clear the current approach is not giving you what you need.

TMS Therapy

TMS Therapy is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that directs focused magnetic pulses at the brain regions involved in mood regulation, requiring no surgery, anaesthesia or sedation. It is generally considered for adults whose depression has not responded adequately to antidepressant medication, and patients stay awake and alert for the duration of each session.

Spravato Esketamine

Spravato is prescribed to eligible adults with treatment-resistant depression and is given under medical supervision at our office rather than taken home. It works alongside an oral antidepressant instead of replacing one, and sits within a wider treatment plan that our providers develop with you and revisit as your response becomes clearer.

Therapy

Therapy provides a consistent space to examine the patterns sitting underneath your symptoms and to identify what genuinely helps when things get hard. Across a course of sessions, patients tend to gain sharper insight into their own triggers and reactions, along with a set of coping strategies they can actually apply during the weeks between appointments.

Psychological Testing

Psychological testing applies standardised assessments to measure cognition, mood and personality objectively rather than by impression alone. These findings prove especially useful where symptoms overlap between conditions or a diagnosis has been hard to settle, giving our providers firmer ground for judging which treatments stand the best chance of working.

Psychiatric Weight Loss Evaluation

The relationship between weight and mental health runs in both directions, from the way low mood affects appetite and activity to the weight changes certain psychiatric medications can bring about. Our psychiatric weight loss evaluation looks at these emotional, behavioural and medication-related influences as a whole, then shapes a management plan around what the assessment actually reveals rather than a standard programme.

Meet MindBodySoul Mental Health Team

Our providers believe a treatment plan should be built with the patient, not handed to them. We take the time to understand what has already been tried and why it fell short, then explain our reasoning at every step. Brookhaven patients tell us that being asked the right questions is what sets this practice apart.

Your Spravato Treatment Session

Pre-Treatment Preparation

Our team sends you preparation instructions ahead of every session, covering the requirement to avoid food for at least two hours beforehand and liquids for the final 30 minutes before your appointment. Your transportation home also needs to be confirmed in advance, since you will not be able to drive yourself afterwards, so it makes sense to sort this out when you book.

Nasal Spray Administration

Spravato is self-administered, which means you take the nasal spray doses yourself in one of our private treatment rooms while a healthcare provider supervises the whole process directly. The room is quiet and comfortable, and a member of our team stays available throughout in case you have questions or begin to feel unwell during administration.

Post-Dose Observation

After the dose you stay at our clinic for a minimum of two hours so the team can keep a close eye on you. Throughout that observation period staff check your blood pressure at intervals, assess how alert you are, and ask how you are feeling, and you are only discharged once a provider is satisfied it is appropriate for you to go.

After Your Treatment

Driving and operating machinery are not permitted until the day after your appointment, once you have had a full night’s rest, which is precisely why your transport home has to be arranged beforehand. Most patients find it wise to keep the rest of the day free, and our team will go over any follow-up arrangements with you before you leave.

Who Is Spravato For?

Spravato esketamine is intended for adults diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression — depression that has continued despite adequate trials of several antidepressants. Suitability is never assumed from your history alone, but established through a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation with our providers.

What Patients Say About Us

“I did tms here. This treatment works! The staff and Dr. Were wonderful. Highly recommend.”

Elissa Fineman

“My experience at the office was amazing Asia and Takerra was very welcoming from the moment I walked in. At first I was a little upset about the wait but when i went back to speak with Dr Judith Ngulefac it was worth the wait she listened to me and she took her time putting a plan together for me nothing was rushed and I did not feel pressured like I have felt in the past with other doctors. She just made me feel very comfortable.”

Sasha Tate

“Great service from entire staff from my time of arrival until I left. I was pleased to find a local practice that had the services I needed and I could speak to someone personable. I met with Judith who was very professional, knowledgeable about my situation and showed exceptional empathy throughout my visit.

Highly recommended. Thank you !!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Which location do Brookhaven patients visit?

Brookhaven is within the area our practice serves. Contact our office and we will confirm which location to attend, provide directions and parking details, and go through the appointment times currently open.

Is Spravato covered by insurance for Brookhaven patients?

Many commercial insurance plans, Medicare, and some Medicaid plans may cover Spravato for eligible patients. Coverage depends on your plan and your individual treatment plan. Our care-advocate team can assist with insurance verification and provide a personalized quote before you begin treatment.

Is Spravato taken with an oral antidepressant?

Yes. Spravato is always administered in conjunction with an oral antidepressant, so you should continue your prescribed medication unless your provider tells you otherwise. Never stop or change a medication on your own — your provider will manage any adjustments as part of your treatment plan.

What transport should Brookhaven patients arrange?

You will need to arrange reliable transportation home, because you cannot drive or operate machinery until the next day after a full night’s rest. You are welcome to bring a family member or friend for support, though they will wait in our reception area during your monitoring period.
