For more than 20 years, Dr. Richard Bermudes has helped people work through depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, trauma, and memory and thinking difficulties. He takes time to understand what a person is going through before deciding on treatment together. Dr. Bermudes is a Fellow and past President of the Clinical TMS Society and a Diplomate of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. He is lead editor of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Clinical Applications for Psychiatric Practice, a reference text used by psychiatrists across the country.
Dr. Bermudes integrates medication management, evidence-based therapies, and advanced psychiatric treatments to build a plan suited to each patient. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are central to his approach, helping people change unhelpful thinking patterns and build the flexibility to move forward.
Dr. Bermudes offers TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and Ketamine treatment for patients who need additional options. Medications, therapy, and brain stimulation each work differently, but all support neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to form new connections and repair patterns that have become stuck over time.

We tailor treatment to each patient using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside medication management. For patients needing additional options, we offer TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and Ketamine treatment. Each approach works differently, but all support neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to form new, healthier connections.
