Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between psychiatry and therapy?

Psychiatry focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions using a combination of medications, therapy, and other treatments like TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). Psychiatrists can prescribe medications, while therapists focus on providing counseling and psychotherapy. At Holistic Behavioral & TMS, we combine both approaches to treat the whole person and achieve lasting results.

How long does it take to see results?

The timeline for improvement can vary depending on the individual and the treatment plan. Many patients begin to notice improvements in their symptoms within several weeks of starting treatments like TMS or medication. The goal is to create a sustainable path toward wellness, with long-term results that grow over time. We work closely with you to monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed

Is medication the only treatment option?

No, medication is just one part of the treatment plan. At Holistic Behavioral & TMS, we use a comprehensive approach that includes therapy, TMS, and lifestyle adjustments alongside medication when necessary. Our goal is to find the combination of treatments that works best for you, addressing both the symptoms and the root causes of your mental health challenges.

What is TMS, and is it right for me?

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation. It’s particularly effective for patients with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. TMS is a great option for those who haven’t responded well to traditional treatments like medication and therapy. If you’re unsure, we’ll evaluate whether TMS is right for you based on your unique needs.

Do I have to take medication?

Taking medication is not always necessary. At Holistic Behavioral & TMS, we customize each treatment plan to your needs. If you’re uncomfortable with medication, we offer alternatives like TMS or therapy, and we’ll work with you to find the best path forward for your mental health.

Will psychiatry help with my anxiety and depression?

Yes! Psychiatry can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety, depression, and related disorders. Our holistic approach addresses the root causes of your symptoms, offering treatments like medication, therapy, and TMS to help you manage and overcome these challenges. Many patients report significant improvement in mood and anxiety levels after receiving comprehensive care.

How do I know if I need psychiatric help?

If you’re experiencing persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, hopelessness, or stress that interfere with your daily life, it’s worth seeking professional help. Psychiatrists can diagnose and treat mental health conditions, offering support tailored to your individual needs. If you’re unsure, our team can help you evaluate whether psychiatric care is the right step for you.

How do I get started with treatment?

The first step is to call us or book online for an initial consultation. During your first visit, we’ll conduct a comprehensive evaluation to understand your symptoms and create a personalized treatment plan. From there, we’ll guide you through the process and help you feel supported every step of the way.

Is my treatment confidential?

Yes, your privacy is very important to us. All treatments and communications are confidential and protected by HIPAA regulations. You can feel comfortable knowing your information is safe and secure with us.

Can I continue my treatment while working or going to school?

Yes! Our treatments are designed to be as non-disruptive as possible to your daily life. TMS and therapy can typically be scheduled around your work or school commitments. We understand the importance of balance and flexibility, and we’ll work with you to ensure treatment doesn’t interfere with your responsibilities.
