Welcome to Synaptiq Psychiatry!

Welcome, and thank you for considering Synaptiq Psychiatry.

If you’re here, you may be feeling worn down — by symptoms that won’t let up, by treatments that haven’t helped enough, or by care that felt rushed or impersonal. Our practice exists to offer something different: concierge-style, evidence-based psychiatry built around careful listening, clear planning, and a long-term partnership focused on stability, functioning, and quality of life.

A Personalized Approach that Treats the Whole Person.

We take time to understand the full picture: your symptoms, your history, your goals, and the realities of your day-to-day life. Together, we build a treatment plan that may include psychotherapy-informed care (supportive, insight-oriented/psychodynamic, and ACT-based strategies) and thoughtful medication management that aims to minimize side effects and reassess regularly over time.

What Makes Synaptiq Different

Synaptiq Psychiatry is an interventional, technology-native practice designed to reduce friction and improve access without sacrificing quality.

Mobile TMS care: For appropriate candidates, our mobile unit can bring treatment to you, reducing barriers like travel and missed work.
Expanded availability (7 days/week): We offer appointments beyond the traditional workweek so patients can access care after work and on weekends. This flexibility makes it easier to stay consistent with treatment — especially for intensive schedules like TMS — without disrupting work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
Accelerated TMS options: When clinically appropriate, we offer accelerated formats intended to shorten time to relief while maintaining safety and rigor.
Innovation pipeline: Through academic and industry partnerships, we stay connected to emerging neuromodulation approaches as they become clinically available.
Streamlined patient experience: We continually improve our workflows to make onboarding, communication, and follow-up more efficient and patient-friendly.

Thank you again for considering Synaptiq Psychiatry. I look forward to meeting you and working together.

Warmly,

Jonathan R. Young, MD

This model is especially important for individuals in high-risk or sensitive circumstances where privacy and discretion are essential. By remaining out-of-network, we provide enhanced confidentiality and individualized care without insurance-driven reporting or restrictions.

Future Directions

Where Synaptiq Is Headed

Advanced Diagnostics

Our clinic aims to integrate advanced neurotechnologies to personalize brain stimulation therapies. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to precisely map neural circuits in conjunction with real-time electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring during TMS, we will be able to observe and modulate brain activity with unprecedented precision. This approach has the potential to optimize treatment outcomes and pave the way for cutting-edge psychiatric interventions.

Next-Generation Therapies

We are exploring next-generation therapies, including esketamine (Spravato) and psychedelic-assisted treatments, to help treat psychiatric disorders in novel ways. By targeting brain circuits differently from traditional medications, these approaches may provide faster relief from depressive symptoms. We are also evaluating virtual reality (VR) therapy, an innovative tool that may help patients safely practice coping skills and engage in therapeutic experiences in a more immersive way.
