🩶 When depression has been part of your life for so long, it can start to feel like simply getting through the day is the best you can hope for.

If you’ve tried multiple medications or treatments without finding relief, you’re not out of options.
SPRAVATO® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved treatment for adults with treatment-resistant depression. Administered as a nasal spray in a certified treatment center, it has helped many people find relief when traditional treatments haven’t been enough.

🩵 At Excel Psychiatric Associates, we work closely with you, your healthcare team, and your insurance provider to make the process as smooth and supportive as possible. Our goal is simple: to help you move beyond surviving and get back to living.

Think SPRAVATO® might be right for you? Contact our team to learn more and schedule a consultation.

⭐ Meet Dawn!

Dawn has been a steady and reliable presence at our front desk for over 8 years. As the “keeper of the gate,” she keeps the office organized, ensures things run efficiently, and helps maintain clear structure for both patients and providers. Her consistency and attention to detail help keep everything on track behind the scenes.

🌀 What do you enjoy most about working at Excel Psychiatric Associates?
Being able to go to a place every day to work with people that actually care about the people they see, and then hearing how those people say how much they feel our practice helped them. Actually, I love just being there and knowing how much working here saved me, too.

🌀 What do you like to do to relax?
Relaxing is not really something I do well! I guess driving alone and turning my radio way up to mask my singing along badly, reading about American history, and time spent with my amazing grandchildren!

🌀 What is your guilty pleasure song?
I have a few, but probably Paradise City, by Guns N’ Roses right now, but not entirely sure it’s a guilty pleasure, or just guilt from my attempting to ban the group at our home because of their name without actually listening to their music.

🌀 What does your dream vacation look like?
My dream vacation would be going anywhere that I could see where the history of the United States was made. Walking tours of areas in and around Boston fulfilled one of my dream locations, hoping one day to get to Philadelphia to do the same there.

Not every child who struggles to attend school is refusing to learn.

Some children are fighting battles that cannot be seen - sensory overload, anxiety, exhaustion, uncertainty, overwhelm, and the constant effort of trying to cope in environments that were not designed with them in mind.

When we see school attendance only through the lens of behaviour, motivation, or compliance, we risk missing the real reasons a child is struggling.

The goal is the same for every child - to learn, belong, and thrive. But not every child can take the same path to get there.

A little more understanding can change everything.

Need a little boost? ☀️

Dopamine is often called the brain’s “feel-good” chemical, and some of the best ways to support it are surprisingly simple: a walk outside, listening to your favorite song, crossing something off your to-do list, laughing with a friend, or trying something new.

What’s interesting is that the most sustainable dopamine hits usually don’t come from scrolling or instant gratification. They tend to come from connection, movement, novelty, accomplishment, and meaning.

Which one on this list works best for you?

😩 You’ve tried this medication and that medication and none of them have seemed to help!

🧬 Trial and error isn’t always the most effective way to figure out what medication each person should be taking. At Excel Psychiatric Associates, we can reduce that trial and error time with genetic testing!

👃 With a simple cheek swab, we can assess how differences in your genes affect how your body breaks down different psychiatric medications. This can help identify if certain medications may have a higher-than-average risk of side effects at usual doses, or if you might need a higher-than-average dose.

💊 For example, if your metabolism operates rapidly, you might need a higher dose of a medication because your body burns through it quicker. For those with a slower metabolism, you might need a lower dose because the medication will stay in your system longer.

⭐ Each person is unique, and genetic testing can help us avoid a major trial and error period. If you’d like to learn more about genetic testing, reach out to us today!

One thing our clients continually teach us is that people are often far more resilient than they realize.

As clinicians, we help clients recognize the strengths, growth, and progress they may not be able to see in themselves. In return, our clients remind us every day that healing is rarely loud or linear.

The person who feels “broken” may actually be demonstrating incredible resilience. The person who seems fine on the outside may be navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, or depression behind the scenes.

Real growth doesn’t come from being perfect. It comes from having the support, safety, and space to be human.

Not every win looks impressive from the outside.

Sometimes it’s getting out of bed when everything feels heavy.

Sometimes it’s drinking a glass of water instead of running on caffeine and stress.

Sometimes it’s taking a break without feeling like you have to earn it first.

Sometimes it’s answering the text, taking the walk, making the appointment, or simply making it through the day.

These moments may seem small, but they’re not insignificant.

Progress isn’t measured only by major milestones. It’s also found in the quiet acts of caring for yourself when it’s hard.

If you’ve done any of these things lately, give yourself credit. Small steps are still steps, and they count more than you think.
