One of the key services offered at Shaikh Integrative Psychiatry is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy. This non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment utilizes gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood regulation. TMS is especially beneficial for patients who prefer not to take medications or have not responded adequately to them. The clinic offers an accelerated TMS treatment protocol, which has shown promising results in initial studies, with response rates of up to 70%. Each TMS session lasts approximately 30 minutes, and the clinic provides a structured treatment plan that may involve multiple sessions.

In addition to TMS, the clinic also offers Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, which combines low-dose ketamine treatment with traditional psychotherapy to facilitate healing and the formation of new neural pathways. This service is tailored to individual needs, with a recommendation of 4-6 sessions for optimal results. The clinic also provides medication management and psychotherapy, allowing patients to receive comprehensive care in one location.

Dr. Shaikh's background includes extensive training in adult and geriatric psychiatry, and he has held various academic and clinical positions, enhancing his ability to address complex mental health issues. The clinic is committed to fostering a supportive environment where patients can explore their mental health challenges and work towards recovery. With a focus on integrative and holistic care, Shaikh Integrative Psychiatry aims to empower patients on their journey to wellness.
