Psychiatric Evaluations
Upon every first encounter, a full and detailed history intake is performed as well as a current history of presenting illness.
Spravato (Esketamine) Tx
Spravato (esketamine) is an FDA-approved prescription nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) or major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Spravato works rapidly by targeting NMDA receptors in the brain, helping to restore synaptic connections and improve mood.
Potential Benefits:
- Rapid improvement in depressive symptoms
- Effective for those who have not responded to traditional antidepressants
- May reduce suicidal thoughts in some individuals
Labratory Analysis
We are integrated with Quest laboratory, and will order labwork
according to presentation upon initial evaluation, symptoms, and lifestyle. This may include blood work and urinalysis to identify any imbalances in the body that could be contributing to psychiatric symptoms. Correcting these imbalances is a key part of healing mental health illnesses.
Medication and Supplementation
A combination of both traditional psychiatric medications and natural supplements may be prescribed and recommended based on psychiatric evaluation, observation, and biometrics. Salt & Light uses Fullscript for supplement recommendations and direct patient ordering. Fullscript offers quality supplements at a discounted price delivered right to your door.
Genetic Testing
At Salt & Light, we use Tempus pharmacogenetic testing.
Pharmacogenetic Testing looks at 3 different areas
- Pharmacodynamic markers: (what the drug does to your body.) Certain genetic variants can change the ways SSRI’s and stimulants work in the body.
- Pharmacokinetic markers: (how the body metabolizes medications)
- Immunological markers: (Can show increased risk for serious side effects)

We offer Vivitrol injection for alcohol and Opioid use disorder.
Vivitrol is a brand name for extended-release naltrexone, an injectable
medication used primarily in the treatment of alcohol dependence and opioid use disorder. It works by blocking the effects of opioids and reducing alcohol cravings.
Suboxone
Suboxone is a combination medication that contains buprenorphine (a partial opioid agonist) and naloxone (an opioid antagonist). It is primarily used in the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings while minimizing the risk of misuse.

Referrals will be made to appropriate specialists outside the scope of practice and expertise on an as-needed basis. These may include for higher level of care, therapy, and neuro-psych testing.
