Genetic Testing for Psychotropic Medication
Finding the right medication shouldn’t feel like trial and error. Mental health is personal, and so is the way your body responds to medication. That’s why we now offer genetic testing to guide psychotropic medication selection and dosing. This innovative approach provides valuable insights that help your provider create a personalized treatment plan improving outcomes, reducing side effects, and helping you feel better faster.
Our psychiatric team offers genetic testing for psychotropic medications to create treatment plans tailored to your unique genetic profile. This personalized approach improves outcomes, reduces side effects, and helps you feel better faster.
A Smarter, More Personalized Approach to Mental Health
Finding the right psychotropic medication can be a frustrating trial-and-error process. We understand that every mental health journey is unique, which is why we now offer genetic testing to guide medication selection and dosing. This evidence-based approach helps match you with medications that are more likely to work for your body, reducing side effects and improving outcomes.
What is Genetic Testing?
Genetic testing analyzes your DNA to identify variations that influence how your body metabolizes and responds to medications. By understanding your genetic profile, our psychiatric nurse practitioner can create a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs giving you the best chance at relief without unnecessary delays.

Our Approach:
At our psychiatric practice, we prioritize a patient-centered approach that focuses on your unique needs and goals. When you schedule an appointment with our psychiatric nurse practitioner, you can expect:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: We will conduct a thorough assessment of your mental health history, symptoms, and treatment goals. This evaluation, combined with genetic testing results, will guide us in developing a personalized treatment plan.
- Genetic Testing: Based on your evaluation, we will recommend genetic testing to gain a deeper understanding of your genetic profile and how it relates to psychotropic medication response.
- Interpretation and Treatment Plan: Once we receive the genetic testing results, our psychiatric nurse practitioner will analyze the data and provide you with a clear interpretation. We will discuss the implications of the results and collaborate with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that optimizes medication selection and dosing.
Cost:
A genetic testing evaluation can be done during an intake appointment, or general session with our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. If not a patient of ours, your in-network insurance should cover the evaluation. Otherwise, it is $200 for an evaluation and follow-up. For the genetic test, most insurance companies will cover all or part of the out-of-pocket cost, which can range from $0-$330.
