For treatment-resistant depression, complex trauma, and root-cause work, MHCA offers a full menu of advanced and integrative options under one roof.
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)
Non-invasive, drug-free magnetic brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression, OCD, and select anxiety conditions in adults — performed in our Arizona clinics.

- No anesthesia, no downtime, no systemic medication
- Typical course: ~36 sessions over 6–9 weeks
- Covered by most major insurance plans for qualifying patients

- Preparation, medicine session, and integration therapy
- IM and sublingual routes — no IV infusion required
- Medical screening & monitoring throughout

Functional Psychiatry
Mental health symptoms often have biological roots. Our functional psychiatry program looks beneath the diagnosis — at hormones, nutrients, gut, sleep, and metabolic health — alongside evidence-based psychiatric care.
- Lab-based root-cause testing (thyroid, hormones, nutrients, inflammation)
- Hormone optimization (men & women)
- Nutrition, sleep, and lifestyle medicine plans
- Gut-brain & metabolic psychiatry approaches
- Therapeutic wellness: red-light, infrared, hyperbaric oxygen, cold therapy
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our adult IOP delivers concentrated, structured psychiatric and therapeutic treatment several days a week — at the level of care you actually need. Many patients use IOP as their starting point; others step up from outpatient or step down from inpatient. Either way, you keep living your life.
- Group + individual therapy + psychiatry, integrated
- Evening tracks for working adults
- Specialty mood and trauma tracks
- Step-down from inpatient or step-up from outpatient
Treat the symptom — and the root cause.
Functional psychiatry blends conventional psychiatric care with the systems-medicine question: why is this happening to this person, right now? At MHCA, every adult treatment plan can include lab-based testing and lifestyle work that conventional 15-minute med checks miss.
Root-cause lab testing
Thyroid panels, hormone studies, vitamin D / B12 / iron, inflammation markers, and pharmacogenomic testing.
Hormone optimization
Hormone balance for men and women — perimenopause, andropause, postpartum, and HPA-axis support.
Nutrition & lifestyle medicine
Evidence-informed nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress-physiology coaching woven into your plan.
Gut-brain & metabolic health
Gut microbiome, blood sugar, and metabolic-psychiatry work for brain-body conditions.
Therapeutic wellness
Red-light, infrared sauna, hyperbaric oxygen, and cold-water therapy as adjuncts to your care.
Mind-body integration
Breathwork, HRV training, and somatic skills paired with your psychiatry & therapy work.

Wellness modalities, woven into your treatment plan
Integrated care goes beyond the prescription pad. Eligible patients can access these clinic-grade wellness modalities as part of their treatment plan — not as an upsell, but as evidence-informed adjuncts that support your nervous system, sleep, and recovery.
Red-light therapy
Low-level light therapy used as an adjunct for mood, sleep, and cellular recovery.
Infrared sauna
Heat therapy paired with parasympathetic regulation — an evidence-informed depression adjunct.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Pressurized oxygen sessions for inflammation, recovery, and cognitive support, when clinically appropriate.
Cold-water therapy
Brief cold immersion to support nervous-system regulation, sleep quality, and stress resilience.
Breathwork & HRV training
Coached breathing and heart-rate-variability protocols that pair with psychiatry & therapy work.
Nutritional psychiatry
Targeted nutrition coaching, micronutrient support, and metabolic-psychiatry interventions.
Eligibility for wellness modalities is determined by your provider as part of your individualized treatment plan.

Schedule Your AppointmentCare you can actually measure.
Most psychiatric practices don’t track whether you’re getting better in any structured way. We do. Every patient at MHCA gets validated symptom tracking — so we can see what’s working, change what isn’t, and stop when you’ve reached your goals.
- PHQ-9 for depression severity at every follow-up
- GAD-7 for anxiety tracking over time
- PCL-5, Y-BOCS, ASRS for PTSD, OCD, and ADHD as relevant
- Goal-based outcomes built around your life — not just a score
- Shared dashboards with your therapist and psychiatric provider
