Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
Bipolar disorder is characterized by episodes of mania hypomania, and major depression. The subtypes of bipolar disorder include bipolar I and bipolar II. Patients with bipolar I disorder experience manic episodes, and nearly always experience major depressive and hypomanic episodes. Bipolar II disorder is marked by at least one hypomanic episode, at least one major depressive episode, and the absence of manic episodes. Professional guidance with medication is almost always needed for those with this mood disorder.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a disorder that manifests in childhood with symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and/or inattention. The symptoms affect cognitive, academic, behavioral, emotional, and social functioning. For most school-aged children (≥6 years) and adolescents with ADHD who meet specific criteria, we suggest treatment with medication rather than behavior therapy alone. However, decisions regarding the choice of therapy should involve the patient and the parents.

Ask your provider about medication treatments available such as naltrexone and buprenorphine.
Semaglutide and Liraglutide are GLP-1 agonists, which mimics GLP-1, a hormone your body produces naturally. GLP-1 is a weekly injectable medication that causes your body to release insulin, suppresses your appetite, and makes you feel full for longer. These actions together can help lead to weight loss. Semaglutide and liraglutide are approved for ages 12 and up. Tirzepatide approved for adults. Tirzepatide is both a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide mimics the GLP-1 hormone and the GIP hormone. The GIP hormone can also trigger insulin creation and sensations of fullness.
This means Tirzepatide may offer an extra weight loss boost. The compound is also much more costly.
Some mild and common side effects of semaglutide include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal pain.
Potential serious side effects include:
Safety Warnings
All semaglutide products come with a boxed warning (the FDA’s strictest warning label) regarding thyroid C-cell tumors. This is because GLP-1 agonists have been found to cause these tumors in rats and mice. The risk in humans is unknown, but you shouldn’t take semaglutide if you have a personal or family history of thyroid cancer.
We can prescribed named brand medications for patients that are covered by their insurance plan or prefer to use their own pharmacy. For those that do not, we offer a semaglutide compounded generic version from our preferred pharmacy for hundreds of dollars less. Currently our semaglutide cost for 75- 90 days is $250 - $350 dependent on size and dosage *** compound medications are not FDA approved***
Buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) is a long-acting, partial opioid agonist used to treat opioid use disorder.
Patients who have been taking opioids, like oxycodone (percocet), hydrocodone (Vicodin), hydromorphone (Dilaudid), methadone, heroin, fentanyl, on a daily basis can become dependent on these substances, meaning that if they do not take them daily, they will experience awful withdrawal symptoms, like nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, body aches, agitation/anxiety. Many people become addicted and the opioids start to take control of their life. They have cravings, think about opiates all the time, and are unable to fulfill their daily responsibilities like going to work or taking care of friends and family. It becomes an “all consuming disease”.
Buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) works by stabilizing the brain. By binding to the opiate receptors in the brain, Buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) prevents withdrawal symptoms, staves off cravings, and also blocks these receptors so other opioids (like heroin or fentanyl) cannot bind, preventing overdoses and saving lives. As a partial agonist (meaning it only partially stimulates the opioid receptor), Burpneorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) rarely causes patients to feel “high.” Rather, patients taking buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) should feel NORMAL, able to go about their day and live their life to its fullest. For these reasons, Buprnorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) is considered very safe, and it is considered evidence-based treatment for opioid addiction.
Policy Note: It is necessary for our patients to pay the self-pay amounts for office visits and if you want to use your insurance you will need to submit a claim and seek reimbursement. Buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) is most effective when used in conjunction with counseling and psychosocial support. When working with our providers, you will be seen weekly, biweekly and/or monthly. It’s important that you keep up with your appointments to maintain treatment and be active on the provider’s schedule. Providers can legally treat only a fixed number of patients with buprenorphine. Therefore, when others request treatment, inactive patients will be dismissed in order to provide an opening for the provider to provide a needed prescription for someone else seeking treatment.
