Psychiatric Evaluation

We begin with a full psychiatric assessment — your symptoms, your background, and what previous treatment has and has not achieved — because an accurate diagnosis shapes everything that follows.

Medication Management

Medication management here means regular review: tracking your response, spotting side effects early, and changing the plan when the evidence says to.

TMS Therapy

TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared therapy that stimulates mood-related brain circuits with magnetic pulses, and can be considered when depression has not responded to medication.

Spravato Esketamine

Spravato is reserved for eligible adults with treatment-resistant depression. It is given under supervision in our office and prescribed together with an oral antidepressant.

Therapy

Therapy sessions give patients room to work through what is happening and to leave with practical strategies for the weeks between visits.

Psychological Testing

Psychological testing adds objective measurement to the clinical picture, which is particularly useful when symptoms overlap or a diagnosis is unclear.

Psychiatric Weight Loss Evaluation

Because mood, medication and eating patterns are often entangled, this evaluation assesses all three before any weight management plan is agreed.

Meet MindBodySoul Mental Health Team

Our team practises psychiatry the slow way — full histories, honest conversations, and plans that get revisited rather than rubber-stamped. Scottdale patients who have felt shuffled through the system elsewhere tend to notice the difference on the first visit.

Your Spravato Treatment Session

Pre-Treatment Preparation

Instructions come to you in advance of each visit: no food in the two hours beforehand, no liquids in the last 30 minutes, and transport home organised before you arrive.

Nasal Spray Administration

You take the spray yourself, in a private room, with a healthcare provider supervising the administration from beginning to end.

Post-Dose Observation

A minimum two-hour observation period follows, with our staff monitoring your blood pressure, alertness and general response before discharge.

After Your Treatment

Driving and machinery are ruled out until the following day, once you have had a full night’s rest. Arrange your lift home ahead of the appointment.

Who Is Spravato For?

Candidates for Spravato esketamine are adults whose depression has persisted through multiple antidepressant trials. A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation with our providers establishes whether it is suitable.

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

How do Scottdale patients get to your clinic?

Scottdale is well within our service area. Contact the office and we will confirm the location, how to find us, and which appointment times are free.

Will a Scottdale patient's insurance plan cover Spravato?

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.

Does Spravato replace my current depression medication?

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.

How do Scottdale patients get home after an appointment?

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.
