At Goodness Psychiatry, we understand the importance of providing comprehensive mental health services to our patients. Our team of experienced professionals offers a range of services designed to address various mental health needs, from assessment and diagnosis to treatment and support. Here, we will outline the services we provide:
Mental Health Assessment and Psychiatric Diagnosis
A psychiatric assessment, also known as a psychological screening, is the initial step in our mental health services. This process involves gathering information about a person’s mental state, including their social and biographical history, direct observations, and data from specific psychological tests. Our assessments are carried out by a multidisciplinary team of professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists, social workers, and licensed professional counselors. The purpose of this assessment is to establish a diagnosis and formulate the individual’s problems, ultimately guiding the development of a personalized treatment plan.Just like how check-ups are essential for physical health, mental health assessments are also important.
Whether you’re facing difficulties or want to improve your life, our assessments build the groundwork for your custom care plan.

Once a diagnosis is made, our team works closely with patients to develop a medication management plan tailored to their specific needs. This may involve prescribing and monitoring medications to help manage symptoms, alleviate symptoms, or address underlying conditions. Our experienced psychiatrists and mental health professionals ensure that patients receive the appropriate medication and dosage, while also monitoring their progress and making adjustments as needed.

Oral Ketamine Treatment
Oral ketamine treatment is a newer and innovative approach to managing mental health conditions. Our team offers this treatment option for patients who have not responded to traditional therapies or medications. Oral ketamine has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. We work closely with patients to ensure they understand the benefits and risks associated with this treatment and monitor their progress throughout the process.
Who Is Not a Good Candidate for Ketamine Therapy?
While ketamine therapy can be highly effective for some patients, it may not be suitable for everyone. Patients with certain risk factors or medical conditions may not be good candidates for ketamine therapy. These include:
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure or heart disease: Ketamine can cause a temporary increase in blood pressure and heart rate, which may be dangerous for those with pre-existing heart conditions.
- Psychosis or schizophrenia: Ketamine can exacerbate symptoms of psychosis and may not be safe for those with a history of these conditions.
- Pregnancy: The safety of ketamine during pregnancy has not been established, and it is generally not recommended for pregnant women.
- Substance abuse disorder: Ketamine has a potential for abuse and addiction, and those with a history of substance abuse may be at higher risk of developing a ketamine use disorder.
- Severe liver disease: Ketamine is metabolized by the liver, and those with severe liver disease may not be able to clear the drug effectively, increasing the risk of side effects.
