Genetic testing is a clinically-driven approach to help you understand how your genes influence your response to psychiatric medications. If you’ve struggled with trial-and-error prescriptions or bothersome side effects, you’re not alone — and there are better alternatives. A quick cheek swab can provide essential insights into your unique genetic profile, allowing us to create a personalized treatment plan just for you.
Better science means better care. Let’s begin your journey toward feeling like yourself again.
Psychiatric genetic testing examines particular genes that affect how your body reacts to psychiatric medications. This easy test provides insight into how you metabolize drugs, which ones are likely to be most effective, and which could cause unwanted side effects.
“It’s not just about finding a treatment — it’s about finding the right treatment for you.”
Many insurance plans include coverage for testing. We’re happy to assist you in verifying your benefits before moving forward.
Genetic testing doesn’t provide a diagnosis. Instead, it helps inform treatment choices once a diagnosis has already been established.
