Because One-Size-Fits-All Doesn’t Work for Mental Health Medication
Pharmacogenetic testing can offer answers. This simple, one-time test helps us understand how your genes affect the way your body processes medication, so we can choose treatments that are more likely to work for you.
Personalized Psychiatry Starts with Your DNA
It’s not uncommon to try multiple medications before finding one that helps. But if you’ve felt like your mental health is a guessing game, you’re not imagining it. Everyone’s biology is different, and your DNA plays a key role in how medications affect your brain and body.
Pharmacogenetic testing uses a small DNA sample (usually from a cheek swab) to predict how your body might respond to various psychiatric medications before you ever take them.
We partner with certified labs to offer precise, clinically useful results that inform your treatment plan.

It’s a simple test, usually a cheek swab, that helps identify how your body processes certain medications based on your genetic makeup. It doesn’t diagnose anything, but it helps your provider choose medications that are more likely to work for you, with fewer side effects.
Anyone who’s tried multiple psychiatric medications without success or experienced unpleasant side effects. It’s especially helpful if you’ve felt like meds make you worse, or nothing seems to “stick.”
Not exactly. But it gives your provider better insight into which types of medications are most likely to be effective or well-tolerated. It reduces the guesswork and helps narrow down your best options faster.
Some insurance plans do cover pharmacogenetic testing, especially when it’s recommended by your psychiatrist. We’ll walk you through coverage details and give you cost information upfront so you’re never caught off guard.
Once we collect your DNA sample, results typically come back in 7 to 10 business days. We’ll schedule a follow-up to go over the findings and update your treatment plan if needed.
Not at all. It’s a quick cheek swab. No needles or bloodwork. You’ll be in and out in minutes.
No. You can continue taking your prescribed medication unless we advise otherwise. The test is safe and won’t interfere with your current treatment.
