OUR SERVICES
As a longstanding resource for behavioral health services in the west valley, Pinnacle Psychiatry specializes in a wide range of psychiatric services to get patients feeling healthier and happier wherever possible. And while we work hard to offer the most current, evidence-based, holistic, and comprehensive treatments available to help you feel better, we also focus on preventative strategies to ensure you stay better for longer.
Our goal is always to use the lowest number of treatments at the lowest therapeutic doses, and we always practice "Golden Rule Medicine."
PSYCHIATRIC CONSULTATION
Helping You Better Understanding & Be The Best You
At Pinnacle Psychiatry, our ultimate goal is to address the patient as a whole and consider all the variables that cause us to feel the way we do. Sometimes that means performing lab work to evaluate for general medical conditions that cause or worsen symptoms. Sometimes that means addressing sleep hygiene, physical condition efforts, and nutritional choices. Sometimes that means addressing the situational stressors that may or may not be within our control. Sometimes that means involving an exceptional, local therapist/psychologist colleague, in addition to our help. Nevertheless, there is always something that can be done to address these proactively and get you back on track!
PHARMACOGENETIC TESTING
Analyzing the Chemical and Genetic Sides of Mental Health
Speak to us about analyzing your DNA to determine the most appropriate treatment plan, as well as whether genetic mutations may be playing a role in your symptoms.
While PGT is *not* the Holy Grail of pharmacotherapy and will not tell you "which medicine will work best for you," it can provide useful guidance on metabolic pathways, medication categories, dosages, and even interactions that are genetically and pharmacologically relevant in your unique case.
PHARMACOLOGIC MANAGEMENT
Meds Aren't Always The Answer, But One Of Many Tools
Medication is not always the answer, but for many, it helps bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. As integrative psychiatric providers with additional credentials in registered dietetics, nutritional psychiatry, hormone management, and other holistic modalities, we enthusiastically combine healthy diet, appropriate exercise, nutraceuticals, key vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements, and amino acids, as well as potentially utilizing medications. As always, treatment decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, as no two patients are exactly alike.
PERIPARTUM & POSTPARTUM PSYCHIATRIC CARE
Helping Mother & Child Every Step Of The Way
Attentive, expert psychiatric care is of the utmost importance to all of us at Pinnacle Psychiatry. As mothers ourselves, we are intimately aware of the lifesaving importance that an ounce of psychiatric prevention can provide both during and after pregnancy.
To help facilitate the best possible care for momma and baby--or babies!--we provide a discounted rate throughout the entire pregnancy and for the first four weeks after delivery. This enables mom to access visits every 4-6 weeks throughout the pregnancy, within the week of delivery (via a virtual visit), and no later than four weeks after delivery. We feel strongly that this is one small yet important step we can take to help set growing families up for success.
HORMONE MANAGEMENT THERAPY
Easing Our Fellow Sisters Through Life's Transitions
For decades, connections between female genetics, menarche, perimenopause, menopause, and mental health struggles have been well-documented.
So much of psychiatric symptomology and overall wellbeing--both physical and mental--can be improved with the help of appropriate hormone testing and treatment.
There are numerous, different hormones and types of therapies that can benefit our fellow womankind. We feel honored to provide evidence-based hormone management for our sisters in this journey we call life.
Weight Management
Maintaining a healthy weight is a complex issue that is so much more than just a matter of "calories in, calories out," and although we strive to avoid this issue, some psychiatric medications can unfortunately cause/worsen weight challenges.
​
Compounded medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are two methods to help improve weight loss success, in combination with lifestyle efforts and behavior modification.
​
Pinnacle Psychiatry is proud to offer nutritional psychiatry services in combination with compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide treatment for weight reduction and metabolic regulation for appropriate patients.
Please complete and submit this consent so we can schedule your initial semaglutide visit. Fasting blood work is required prior to this visit, so please inform our staff if you prefer us to e-send your order to Sonora Quest or LabCorp (or another facility, in which case we will email you the order form).
If you are new to Pinnacle Psychiatry and interested in GLP-1 treatment, please carefully review this consent, to help determine whether you are a candidate. Then, kindly complete & submit this form. Our staff will contact you at their earliest convenience to discuss next steps.
