Navigating treatment shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Here’s how we help you find the care you need quickly.
Answer a few questions online about you and what you’re looking for. We’ll match you with providers who are a good match for your needs.
Once you choose a provider, you’ll see them virtually for a thorough discussion of your symptoms, and clinical and medical history. They’ll use that information to make an informed diagnosis.
You’ll work with your provider to tailor a treatment plan that works for you. It can include medications, like mood stabilizers, therapy or a combination of both.
Our providers focus on tailoring a plan to your unique needs. Here’s a brief summary of the most common types of mood disorder medications.
