Medication can be life changing.
It can also be misused, rushed, or poorly coordinated.
Many families arrive at Solstice Pacific frustrated. Medications have been adjusted multiple times. Side effects feel overwhelming. Appointments feel brief. Questions go unanswered.
Psychiatry should not feel transactional.
At Solstice Pacific, psychiatric care is integrated, collaborative, and grounded in neuroscience. We treat the whole person, not just the prescription list.
Our psychiatric evaluations consider:
Full psychiatric history
Trauma exposure
Family history
Medical conditions
Sleep patterns
Dopamine regulation
Digital habits
Substance use history
Current stressors
Family dynamics
Mental health symptoms rarely exist in isolation. Anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, and mood disorders are influenced by multiple biological and behavioral systems.
View the conditions we treat.
Because our psychiatry team collaborates directly with therapists and case managers, adjustments are informed by daily clinical observations rather than isolated 15 minute visits.
This coordination improves safety and effectiveness.

Within our Community Mental Health Center, psychiatric care is integrated into:
Partial Hospitalization Program
Intensive Outpatient Program
Geriatric Day Treatment
Individual therapy
We do not overprescribe.
We do not rush medication changes.
We do not ignore lifestyle contributors.
In many cases, stabilization also requires addressing dopamine desensitization, sleep hygiene, digital overexposure, and stress regulation.

As you take the time you need to heal, you will learn about the neurobiology of stress and notice yourself making decisions from a different framework. These forerunners in healthcare have taught us to generate health by practicing it first. Even more, they show how to use a condition or disorder as a gateway to self-compassion. Trauma and stress are inextricably linked. Not everyone will make it to Solstice Pacific. It’s brave, bold work to learn about yourself and others.
For those who join us in the clinic, they find community in groups, at lunch and over the many experiences and emotions that wash over us on a daily basis. The villains here aren’t emotions or pause, but concealing and minimizing yourself (which are the most common crossroads). If emotions are feedback and our stories are important, psychiatric medicine may help us understand some of the most important realities about personal well-being.
Come find out how integrative, functional medicine steeped in history will repair your stress response, relationships and energy.
Depression & PTSD Care
Depression can feel overwhelming—but healing is possible. At Solstice Pacific, we treat depression and post-traumatic stress with precision and compassion. Our Signature Treatment uses advanced EEG-guided TMS (MeRT), delivered by highly trained medical professionals to gently improve mood, focus, and emotional regulation.
MeRT (EEG-Guided TMS)
MeRT is a cutting-edge form of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation tailored to your unique brain patterns and treatment history. Endorsed by leading institutions, this approach supports sleep, cognition, and emotional balance—helping individuals reconnect with daily life and relationships.
Addiction & Recovery Support
Our integrative programs also address alcoholism and substance use. We combine therapy, medical support, and personalized recommendations to reduce withdrawal symptoms, improve cognition, and promote long-term recovery—especially for individuals in early sobriety.
Individualized Therapy Plans
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. Every treatment plan is thoughtfully customized based on age, needs, and personal goals—ensuring each patient receives care designed to help them live their best life.
Family Healing & Support
Recovery is stronger with connection. Family therapy provides a safe space to share emotions like fear, stress, and frustration—supporting both individuals and loved ones throughout the healing journey.
Your Fresh Start
It’s time for self-care and renewal. You are the key to your own recovery—and we’re here to support every step forward.

Comprehensive, integrative care addressing brain health, emotional awareness, physical wellness, and family resilience.
After years in hospitals and clinics, we’ve decided to create a safe space. Resilience and imagination spark at Solstice Pacific. We are centered, not just in the roots of these six clinicians who shape our approach to psychiatry, but in our own roots. It would not be possible to provide you with the quality of care you find here without our own commitment to self-care.
Led by a team of clinicians, the Solstice Pacific integrative approach makes all the difference. Safety ensues when patients feel heard. Healing soaks in deeper when patients identify their vulnerability as respected rather than an inconvenience. Psychiatric care by modeling creates safety, then comfort.
