What to expect with our psychiatric treatment
Medication isn’t right for everyone. Our psychiatrists take the time to understand your unique mental health goals to figure out whether antidepressants or a non-pharmaceutical alternative like psychotherapy or TMS therapy might help you feel better faster, then determine the most appropriate level of care to support your journey toward lasting well-being.
Featured Services
Our psychiatrists take a whole-person approach to your care, not as a one-size-fits-all prescription, but as a personalized plan built around your goals, including:
Medication Management
Choosing the right psychiatric medication can be challenging. Our team of experienced psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners work with you to find the best treatment for your unique needs, including:
- SSRIs and SNRIs
- Tricyclic antidepressants
- Mood stabilizers
- Antihistamines and beta-blockers
- Anti-anxiety medications
Psychiatry
Our psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners take the time to understand your history, symptoms, and goals, then work with you to build a treatment plan around what will actually help, including:
- A thorough evaluation of your history, symptoms, and goals
- A personalized treatment plan, whether that’s medication, a referral to therapy, TMS, or a combination
- In-office or telehealth appointments, whatever fits your schedule
- Clinics throughout Los Angeles for your convenience
Talk Therapy
Our therapists are master’s-level clinicians trained in a variety of modalities, including CBT, DBT, ERP, and more, who curate a personalized therapy plan built around your unique mental health goals, in person or online.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): Helps you identify and change the thought patterns that contribute to your symptoms.
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): Builds skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation to help you manage difficult emotions.
- Exposure and response prevention (ERP): Gradually exposes you to distressing triggers in a controlled way, helping you reduce avoidance behaviors.
- EMDR: Uses bilateral stimulation to help you process difficult experiences and reduce their emotional impact.
- Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT): Combines mindfulness meditation with cognitive therapy to build present-moment awareness and prevent relapse.
TMS
If you’re experiencing lingering symptoms or unwanted side effects from psychiatric medications, or want to supplement your current treatment, TMS therapy may be worth considering, including:
- Non-invasive, non-drug, FDA-cleared treatment with zero downtime
- Gentle magnetic pulses that target the areas of the brain underactive in depression
- Most patients notice improvement within 2 weeks, versus 6 to 8 weeks for medication
- 20-minute sessions, and you can drive yourself and return to work or school right after
- Typically covered by insurance if you qualify
MeRT
MeRT (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy) is an extensively personalized treatment that combines TMS with EEG and EKG brain-mapping to deliver treatment tailored to your unique brain pattern, including:
- A resting-state EEG and EKG to detect your brain’s unique frequency pattern
- A customized TMS protocol built from your results
- Progress tracked with follow-up EEG recordings every 10 treatments
- A noninvasive, drug-free option for depression, anxiety, PTSD, TBI, and sleep disorders
- Currently offered at our Manhattan Beach location
Outpatient IOP
Clear Behavioral Health is Neuro Wellness Spa’s sister company, offering additional levels of care when you need more support than psychiatry, medication, or therapy alone can provide.
Clear’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides structured mental health care while you continue living at home, a step up from weekly therapy for when you need more consistent support. It’s available both in person and online, so you can get the structure you need in the format that fits your life. The in-person IOP meets 3 to 5 days per week for 3 to 6 hours per day, combining individual and group therapy, case management, and holistic wellness activities in a supportive, community-focused environment.

A dedicated team of licensed therapists, nurse practitioners, case managers, and 24/7 support staff guides and cares for you every step of the way, combining evidence-based therapies with holistic healing.

What is psychiatry?
Psychiatry is medical care focused on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, often through a combination of medication management, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes. There’s no one-size-fits-all cause of a mental health condition, common risk factors include family history, brain chemistry, trauma, stress, and substance use, but with proper treatment and support, symptoms can go into remission and people can lead happy, fulfilling lives.
We use a thorough evaluation to understand your symptoms and goals, so we can determine the most appropriate treatment approach to support your journey toward improved mental health.
Conditions we treat
Depression
Persistent sadness, loss of interest, and low energy that interfere with your daily life and relationships.
Anxiety
Excessive worry, restlessness, and fear that can affect work, relationships, and daily functioning.
ADHD
Difficulty with focus, impulsivity, and organization that can impact work and daily life.
Bipolar Disorder
Extreme shifts in mood, energy, and behavior between manic and depressive episodes.
OCD
Intrusive, unwanted thoughts paired with repetitive behaviors performed to relieve the distress they cause.
PTSD
Emotional and behavioral symptoms that follow a traumatic or deeply distressing experience.
Grief
Difficulty processing loss that can affect mood, sleep, and day-to-day functioning.
Stress
Ongoing pressure that builds into physical or emotional strain.
Addiction
Substance use or compulsive behaviors that begin to take priority over your health and responsibilities.
Signs it might be time to see a psychiatrist
Some of the most common signs that it might be time for a psychiatric evaluation include:
- Persistent low mood, sadness, or hopelessness
- Burnout or brain fog that isn’t lifting
- Excessive worry, fear, or restlessness
- Trouble sleeping or changes in sleep patterns
- Difficulty concentrating or completing everyday tasks
- Sudden or extreme mood swings
- Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy
- Symptoms that are starting to affect your relationships or work
- Difficulty managing everyday stress or emotions
- Feeling like something isn’t right, even if you can’t quite name it
You don’t need a diagnosis already, or to be in crisis, to reach out. An evaluation can help you understand what’s going on and what support might help.
