Mental Health starts with Brain Health!
Below is an overview of the services currently available at our locations. IAM accepts most major insurance plans, with the exception of Medicaid and TRICARE. We also offer self-pay options to ensure accessible care for those without insurance coverage.
Medication Management
Psychiatric medication management is a collaborative process where we use medication—when appropriate—to help improve symptoms related to mood, anxiety, attention, sleep, or other mental health concerns.
It’s not just about prescribing a medication. It’s about: Careful Evaluations, personalized treatment plans, whole-person approach with ongoing monitoring and adjustments.
What It’s Not:
-
It’s not a “quick fix.”
-
It’s not one-size-fits-all.
-
It’s not something you’re locked into forever.
Mood Disorder Evals & Treatment
Mood disorders affect how a person feels emotionally over time. This can include periods of low mood, loss of interest or energy, mood changes, or emotional ups and downs that interfere with daily life. Common examples include depression and bipolar-related conditions.
Mood disorder testing is a comprehensive evaluation, not a single test or lab draw. Its purpose is to understand your symptoms clearly and determine the most accurate diagnosis.
ADHD Testing
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a condition that affects attention, organization, impulse control, and sometimes activity level. It can impact school, work, relationships, and daily tasks. ADHD can occur in children, teens, and adults.
ADHD testing is not a single test. It’s a comprehensive evaluation over several office visits. Testing can be done at our Huntsville or Madison location.
Autism Testing
Autism testing is a structured evaluation process used to understand whether someone meets criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and to better understand their strengths and challenges. We specialize in Ages 8 and up.
It’s not a pass-or-fail test. --It’s a way to gain clarity.
Testing is done at our Madison Location:
Your first appointment is roughly an 1-1 1/2 hours long with our trained staff member Erin Russell, LMFT.
Your second appointment is with one of our Nurse Practitioners to go over findings and discuss results.
Mood Evaluation
Mood disorders affect how a person feels emotionally over time. This can include periods of low mood, loss of interest or energy, mood changes, or emotional ups and downs that interfere with daily life. Common examples include depression and bipolar-related conditions.
Mood disorder testing is a comprehensive evaluation, not a single test or lab draw. Its purpose is to understand your symptoms clearly and determine the most accurate diagnosis.
PRT Therapy
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a cognitive-behavioral approach designed to treat chronic pain by targeting the brain’s interpretation of pain signals rather than ongoing tissue damage. It helps patients understand that pain can be generated or amplified by neural pathways and learned responses, even in the absence of physical injury.
PRT focuses on reducing fear of pain, shifting attention away from symptoms, and retraining the brain through techniques such as cognitive reframing, somatic tracking, and emotional processing. The goal is to decrease pain intensity and improve function by “retraining” the nervous system.
GLP-1 Management
GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide) are increasingly prescribed for diabetes and weight management. Many psychiatric patients are now using these medications alongside antidepressants, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and antipsychotics.
Because GLP-1 medications affect gastric emptying, appetite, and weight, monitoring should be thoughtful and proactive.
WHY COME HERE FOR THIS?
Because GLP-1 medications slow gastric emptying, they may affect the absorption of certain oral psychiatric medications. For this reason, patients taking the following should be monitored closely:
-
Extended-release formulations
-
Lithium
-
Stimulant medications
-
Medications with narrow therapeutic windows
If your mood changes or a decrease in medication effectiveness occurs after starting or increasing a GLP-1 medication, treatment adjustments may be necessary.
At IAM, we take a proactive, coordinated approach to care. Our team works closely with you to monitor for potential interactions and make thoughtful adjustments when needed — helping prevent concerns before they become problems.
TMS Therapy
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive treatment used most often for depression, especially when medications haven’t worked well enough. It uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
A treatment session usually lasts 20-40 minutes and most people can go back to normal activities right after. Typically, TMS treatments are done 5 days a week for 4-6 weeks with benefits building gradually, not all at once. Think of TMS as a way to help retrain parts of the brain that are underactive in depression. It doesn’t change who you are—it’s meant to help your brain function more normally.
