At Goodness Psychiatry, we understand that mental health is a vital aspect of overall well-being. Our team of experienced psychiatrists and therapists is dedicated to providing comprehensive mental health services help individuals overcome a range of mental health challenges. In this article, we will explore the various services we offer, including mental health assessment and medication management, oral ketamine , supportive psychotherapy, and addiction and substance use treatment.
Mental Health Assessment and Psychiatric Diagnosis
The first step in addressing mental health concerns is to conduct a thorough assessment and diagnosis. At Goodness Psychiatry, our experienced psychiatrists use evidence-based diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of our patients’ symptoms. This comprehensive approach ensures that we can develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
During the assessment, our psychiatrists will ask a series of questions to gather information about the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle. We will also conduct a physical examination to rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be contributing to the patient’s mental health issues. In some cases, we may also order laboratory tests or imaging studies to diagnosis.
Medication Management
Once a diagnosis has been made, our psychiatrists will work with the patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that incorporates the most effective medications and dosages. We understand that every patient responds differently to medication, so we take a patient-centered approach to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care.When used appropriately and as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, medications can be effective in treating many mental health conditions depression, anxiety bipolar disorder, and more.
Our medication management services include:
Medication Selection: We work with our patients to select the most appropriate medications for their specific condition.
Dosage Adjustment: We regularly monitor our patients’ responses to medication and adjust dosages as needed to ensure optimal treatment outcomes.
Medication Education: We educate our patients about their medications, including how they work, potential side effects, and how to take them correctly.
Oral Ketamine Treatment
Ketamine has been recognized as a promising therapeutic agent for mental health disorders, particularly depression and anxiety. At Goodness Psychiatry, we offer oral ketamine treatment as an alternative approach for managing these conditions.
Oral ketamine treatment typically involves taking a low-dose ketamine medication orally, usually in the form of a pill or liquid. The medication is designed to work quickly, often providing relief from symptoms within hours or days. Our experienced medical professionals will work closely with our patients to determine the appropriate dosage and frequency of administration.
Supportive Psychotherapy
In addition to medication and ketamine treatment, we offer supportive psychotherapy sessions to help our patients cope with their mental health issues. Our licensed therapists provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for patients to discuss their feelings, thoughts, and experiences.
Supportive psychotherapy can help patients:
Develop Coping Strategies: Our therapists will work with our patients to identify effective coping strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges.

How Long Does Ketamine Pain Relief Last?
Ketamine has been found to provide rapid and significant pain relief for patients with chronic pain and other conditions. The duration of ketamine pain relief can vary depending on several factors, including the dosage, frequency of administration, and individual patient response.
Typically, ketamine infusions can provide pain relief for several days to several weeks. However, the exact duration of pain relief may differ from patient to patient, and ongoing treatment may be necessary to maintain optimal results.
