Personalized Approach to Psychiatry
At Aspire Medical Group, we are dedicated to transforming mental health care through an integrative and precision medicine approach. We go beyond symptom management, focusing on restoring balance and harmony in every aspect of your well-being.
Our Approach
Combining cutting-edge research with compassionate care, we integrate functional medicine and complementary therapies to address the root causes of mental health issues. From genetic testing to comprehensive metabolic panels, our advanced diagnostic tools provide personalized insights into your health.
Precision Medicine in Psychiatry
In psychiatry, understanding each patient's unique genetic vulnerabilities and potential epigenetic triggers requires advanced diagnostic testing. We tailor treatment approaches precisely to each patient's genetic and environmental context, aiming for personalized medicine that enhances treatment outcomes.
Selecting psychiatric medications for individual patients through trial and error can be a lengthy and frustrating process, often taking months or even years to find a safe and effective treatment. Genetic testing should be considered first-line interventions, not a last resort treatment approach to easily identify or enhance medication selection and dosing.
We specialize in pharmacogenomics (PGx), customizing medication choices based on your genetic profile. This 'test and treat' strategy ensures more effective treatment outcomes with fewer side effects. PGx testing integrates genetic factors, drug-gene interactions, and lifestyle factors into a personalized treatment plan.
By leveraging this information, our clinicians can tailor treatments to each patient’s unique genetic profile, optimizing efficacy and minimizing adverse effects.
Advanced Diagnostic Testing
We offer various functional medicine tests that screen for multiple aspects of health and biochemical balance:
- Hormone Panels
- Nutritional Deficiency Testing
- Genetic Testing
- Methylation Panels
- Adrenal Function Tests
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panels
- Cardiovascular Risk Panels
- Micronutrient Testing
- Thyroid Panels
- Gut Microbiome Analysis
- Environmental Toxin Panels
- Autoimmune Panels
These tests offer insights into biochemical status, aiding in the identification of underlying factors influencing psychiatric and physiological conditions. We tailor personalized treatment strategies to optimize health and reduce the risk of chronic disease.
Our Comprehensive Approach
At Aspire Medical Group, we prioritize treating the whole person, integrating conventional psychiatric treatments with holistic and complementary therapies to optimize patient outcomes. Our approach consistently achieves exceptional results that conventional treatments alone may struggle to replicate.
Whether you're navigating attention issues, addiction, anxiety, depression, or life transitions impacting your well-being, our team is equipped to help you thrive.

We will treat you with the same, dedication and commitment that we would invest in those closest to us. You are more than just a set of symptoms and test results. We strive to provide care by acknowledging each person's individuality while providing unconditionally compassionate care, educating patients and families, and striving to promote a healthcare environment that is therapeutic and respectful of all human beings.
We believe in taking a holistic approach to care, respecting our patients' cultural beliefs, ethnic background, and personal preferences. Our clinicians are patient-focused, approaching health and illness through the lens of the whole person, and believe that health can only be achieved when all aspects of the patient, including physical, emotional, spiritual, cultural, and environmental are addressed. We will put your best health interests first.
