Comprehensive Mental Health Treatment Options
Outpatient Services
Our mental health professionals in Clearwater provide flexible outpatient care that fits into your everyday life. These services include individual therapy, medication management, and specialized treatment for personality disorders, mood disorders, and co-occurring conditions. Our providers use evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients build resilience and achieve long-term recovery.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Specialized facilities provide innovative treatments including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for treatment-resistant depression, helping when traditional medications haven’t provided adequate relief.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for depression, anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). TMS works by delivering targeted magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain that regulate mood, helping to rebalance neurotransmitter levels and reduce symptoms over time.
Why consider TMS treatment for depression?
- FDA-cleared since 2008
- Medication-free, non-invasive, non-surgical treatment
- 36 daily sessions, each lasting only 19 minutes
- Up to 73% of patients experience significant relief or remission
- Weekly group therapy available at no cost
- Covered by most insurance providers
- Complimentary consultations available to learn more
If you’re looking for a treatment option with lasting results and fewer side effects, TMS may be right for you. And when you need TMS treatment in Clearwater, you’re in good hands with us; Advantage TMS has the highest response rate of any TMS provider in the area. Contact our team today to schedule your free TMS consultation.
Telepsych and Accessibility
Modern mental health care in Clearwater embraces technology to remove barriers. Telepsychiatry services offer secure, HIPAA-compliant sessions from the comfort of your home, making it easier for busy professionals, parents, and those with transportation challenges to access care.
Genetic Testing
Genetic testing allows us to more easily show which psychiatric medications would work best for you. Our team performs a quick, in-office cheek swab that then gets analyzed by a geneticist. This simple, painless process helps ensure we choose the best psychiatric medication for you from the start–no stressful trial periods with medications that don’t work or, worse, worsen symptoms.
After we receive your results, we give you your full medical report to add to your personal medical files. Often, our patients find useful information from these test results when seeking other medical treatment. In many cases, our patients’ insurance covers the majority of the cost of this test.
Integrated Approach to Healing
Our mental health professionals understand that psychological and emotional wellness affects every aspect of life. Treatment teams work collaboratively to address not just symptoms, but the whole person – considering how mental illness impacts relationships, work, and daily functioning.
Who We Serve
Mental health services in Clearwater support:
- Adults facing depression, anxiety, and mood disorders
- Individuals struggling with trauma and PTSD

Insurance and Treatment Accessibility
Our transparent pricing is up-front and honest about what our sessions cost. Rates are $295 for the initial appointment and $160 for follow-ups. Counseling sessions are $160.
While we do not accept any insurance, including Medicare or Medicare supplements, this allows us to spend more time with patients and deliver better care. Upon request, we can also provide patients with a “super bill” if they’d like to seek reimbursement from their insurance company for treatment.
