I want to feel like myself again.
Psychiatric evaluation · Medication · Talk therapy
A real conversation with a physician, a workup that actually looks at you, and a plan that fits your life.
Foundation Medical Group
Mental health. Modern medicine.
Psychiatry, therapy, addiction care, and advanced treatments. All under one roof.

Find your path
Three ways to start.
Most people arrive with one of these three questions on their mind. Pick the one that sounds like you. We’ll take it from there.
I’ve tried everything.
TMS · Spravato® · Ketamine · QEEG
When SSRIs and talk therapy haven’t moved the needle, there are real, evidence-based alternatives. And we offer all of them.
I need to stop.
MAT · Suboxone® · Vivitrol® · Sublocade® · Brixadi®
Same-week appointments for opioid and alcohol use. Medication-assisted treatment, no judgement, same roof as the rest of your care.
The Foundation Protocol
One team. One building.
Every step of the way.
Most people cobble mental-health care together from three or four disconnected clinics. We built the opposite. One roof, one chart, and a team that already knows your story by the time you walk in.
Phase 01
Evaluate
Before anything changes, we listen. Then we measure.
A real psychiatric workup, not a 15-minute intake. We map your brain, your genetics, and your history before recommending a single thing.
- Psychiatric evaluation
- QEEG brain mapping
- GeneSight® testing
Phase 02
Stabilize
We lay the groundwork the rest of your care will stand on.
Medication fine-tuned to you, therapy that actually works, and regular contact so small course-corrections never become crises.
- Medication management
- Talk therapy
- Weekly check-ins
Phase 03
Intervene
When talk and traditional meds aren’t enough, the full toolbox opens.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), Spravato, ketamine, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) are all available at the same clinic. No referral, no waiting list, no new paperwork.
- TMS therapy
- Spravato
- Ketamine
- MAT
Phase 04
Maintain
The hardest part of recovery is the part after recovery.
We stay with you. Telehealth check-ins, maintenance visits, and the same provider who met you on day one. For as long as you need us.
- Telehealth follow-up
- Maintenance care
- Relapse prevention
Advanced Therapies
The newest treatments.
In a spa-like setting.
TMS, Spravato, and ketamine. All FDA-cleared, all covered by most insurance, all delivered under one roof.
TMS Therapy
NeuroStar®
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a drug-free, pain-free, FDA-cleared treatment for depression that uses targeted magnetic pulses to wake up the parts of the brain that mood disorders put to sleep. You sit in a chair, stay awake, and drive yourself home after.
- About 20 minutes per session
- Covered by most insurance plans
- At least 8 out of 10 patients respond in treatment-resistant depression
Spravato®
esketamine
Spravato (esketamine) is a nasal-spray treatment FDA-approved for depression that hasn't budged on other medications. You take it in our office under direct clinical supervision, and many patients feel a shift within hours or days rather than weeks.
- Two-hour supervised session
- Covered by most major insurance plans
Ketamine Therapy
infusion
IV and IM ketamine therapy for treatment-resistant depression, chronic PTSD, and severe anxiety. Delivered in a calm, monitored clinical setting with dedicated recovery time after each dose.
- 45 to 60 minute infusion
- Self-pay; some plans cover a portion
Which is right for me?
A 3-question starting point
Answer three quick questions and we’ll suggest a reasonable first conversation to have with your FMG physician. It’s a starting point, not a diagnosis.

Patient stories
How real patients found
their way back.
These are the moments that don’t fit on a brochure. The call you almost didn’t make. The first session that worked. The morning you woke up feeling like yourself.
- Tuesday · 2:14 pm
She called the main line. A nurse answered in twenty-two seconds. Five minutes later, she had an appointment for Wednesday morning.
- Wednesday · 9:00 am
Our lead psychiatric nurse practioner, Sharon Craddock, met her at the Richmond clinic. They talked for sixty minutes. That’s longer than her last three psychiatry visits combined. Before she left, she had a written plan: Spravato, twice a week, starting Monday.
- The following Monday
Her first Spravato session. Two hours in the office, supervised. She drove home in the afternoon and made dinner.
- Six weeks later
Rebecca told us this was the first time in three years she’d looked forward to a Tuesday morning.
Our featured stories and timelines are real. Names, ages, and identifying details are changed.
- TMS Therapy
After two years on antidepressants that left him flat, Marcus thought “medication-resistant” meant “untreatable.”
“By session twelve I was making coffee in the morning without dreading the day. By session twenty-four I was running again. TMS gave me back something I didn’t think I’d get back.”
Six months later: still off SSRIs, still running.
- Spravato
Eight years of treatment-resistant depression, three previous clinics. “Sometimes I feel like I’m just collecting medication trials,” she told us at intake.
“The first Spravato session, I cried in the recovery room. But it was the first cry that felt like relief instead of weight. By the third week, my husband said I sounded like myself for the first time since 2018.”
Continues maintenance Spravato every other week.
- MAT · Suboxone
Three relapses, two failed detoxes, a job he was about to lose. He almost didn’t make the call.
“What surprised me was that nobody made me feel like a problem. They asked what I needed, gave me the medication, and made the next appointment before I left. That was eighteen months ago.”
Eighteen months in recovery. Still works the same job. Calls his sponsor weekly.
