About Synchrony Brain Health
Synchrony Brain Health employs advanced neuroscience techniques to address psychiatric disorders, offering innovative solutions for conditions that do not respond well to conventional therapies. The professionals at Synchrony conduct comprehensive evaluations to identify the most effective treatment pathways aimed at maximizing symptom management and promoting recovery.
At Synchrony, the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnosis (SCID) is utilized, which involves in-depth inquiries to help clinicians arrive at the most precise diagnosis. Based on this assessment, they provide recommendations for treatment that may involve either pharmacological approaches or alternatives that do not rely on medication. Their therapeutic strategies aim to modify nerve activity in order to improve brain health and functionality. The array of treatment modalities available at Synchrony Brain Health encompasses dTMS, Alpha Stim, neurofeedback, trauma-informed yoga, spravato therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, among others.
