At Essential Psychiatry, our goal is to provide a collaborative, evidence-based approach to mental health care. Our treatments are designed to be used on their own or alongside one another. We look at each patient as an individual — your assessment and care plan are built around your examination, your goals, and your life.

Major depressive disorder is very common and very treatable. If you’re experiencing persistent sadness, hopelessness, fatigue, loss of interest, or difficulty concentrating for two weeks or more, we can help. Our detailed evaluations identify the right treatment path — including advanced options like TMS therapy and Spravato for patients who haven’t found relief with standard approaches.

Our psychiatric team specialises in PTSD and trauma care for veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and civilians. Led by retired USAF Staff Sergeant Dr. Candie Wellwood, DNP, PMHNP — a veteran who has walked the same path — we understand the unique challenges you carry. We are a VA preferred provider. All you need is a referral from the VA.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment for major depressive disorder and treatment-resistant depression. A gentle electromagnetic coil delivers painless magnetic pulses to the area of the brain that controls mood — activating depressed neural activity and lifting symptoms without medication or sedation. Covered by most insurances including VA, TriCare, Medicare, and Medicaid. Preferred treatment after failed antidepressant therapy.
