Psychiatry and Therapy, Fully Integrated
Turnwell was built on a single conviction: the best outcomes happen when psychiatry and therapy aren't siloed. Every patient gets a care plan drawn from the full range of what modern psychiatric medicine has to offer — medication, advanced interventional treatments, and evidence-based therapy working together.
Advanced Treatment Options
From FDA-cleared TMS therapy and FDA-approved Spravato to IV ketamine therapy, Turnwell offers interventional psychiatry options that most practices don't provide, covered by most major insurance plans.
Coordinated Care Team
Your psychiatrist and therapist are under the same roof and on the same page. Medication management, therapy, and interventional treatment are coordinated as a single, cohesive plan rather than separate appointments.
Evidence-Based at Every Step
CBT, DBT, TMS therapy, Spravato treatment, ketamine therapy, and medication management, all supported by clinical research and delivered by board-certified, licensed providers who build plans specific to each patient's history and goals.
Board-Certified Physicians Leading Your Care
Turnwell's psychiatric team brings decades of combined clinical experience in interventional psychiatry, treatment-resistant mood disorders, addiction medicine, and integrated mental health care across four locations in Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida.

A Full Spectrum of Psychiatric & Therapeutic Care
From a first psychiatric evaluation to advanced interventional treatments, every Turnwell location provides care tailored to your specific diagnosis, history, and goals — not a one-size protocol.
Medication Management
Thorough psychiatric evaluation and ongoing medication management by board-certified providers. Our psychiatrists evaluate carefully before prescribing, then monitor and adjust your plan over time. Available at all four locations in Tampa, Alpharetta, Charleston, and Aventura.
Learn about psychiatric careTMS Therapy
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain regions involved in mood regulation. FDA-cleared, non-invasive, outpatient, no anesthesia. Particularly effective for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and OCD. Covered by most major insurance plans. Available at Alpharetta, Charleston, Tampa, and Aventura.
Learn about TMS therapySPRAVATO® (Esketamine)
The FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression and major depressive disorder with active suicidal ideation. Administered in-office under medical supervision. Unlike traditional antidepressants, Spravato targets the glutamate system and often produces improvement within days. Available at all four Turnwell locations.
Learn about SpravatoIV Ketamine Therapy

Learn about ketamine therapyIndividual Psychotherapy & EMDR
One-on-one therapy with licensed clinicians trained in evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, and EMDR therapy for PTSD and trauma.

In-person EMDR therapy is available at Alpharetta and Charleston, with telehealth statewide.

Turnwell's clinical team has particular depth in complex and treatment-resistant presentations.

Depression that has not responded to two or more adequate medication trials. TMS therapy, Spravato treatments, and ketamine therapy are specifically designed for this population and covered by most major insurance.

PTSD Treatment
PTSD treatment grounded in the neuroscience of trauma recovery. Our approach includes EMDR therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, ketamine therapy, and individual psychotherapy — each chosen based on where you are in the healing process, not a one-size protocol. Tricare accepted for veteran mental health care across all four locations in Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida.
Bipolar Disorder Treatment
Bipolar disorder treatment that goes beyond stabilization. For bipolar I, bipolar II, and cyclothymia, we combine mood stabilizer management with psychoeducation and coordinated therapy to help patients build lasting stability, not just manage crises. Available at all four locations.
