Michigan Advanced Psychiatry Expands to East Lansing

Michigan Advanced Psychiatry has officially opened its new office in East Lansing, Michigan, marking a significant expansion of its specialized mental health services. With a focus on innovative treatments for conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD, the practice is poised to fill an important gap in mental health care in the region.

Innovative Treatment Options

The practice provides cutting-edge therapies that include transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), Spravato (esketamine), IV ketamine, and medication management services. These treatments are particularly essential for patients who have struggled to find relief through traditional antidepressants.

Dr. Drew Schmale, along with colleagues Colleen Simon, PA-C, and Jay Gottschalk, PMHNP, are determined to make the Lansing office a vital resource for the local community. Dr. Schmale expressed enthusiasm about returning to his alma mater region, emphasizing their commitment to meeting the diverse clinical needs of patients.

A Focus on Community Needs

The new office will serve as the practice's fourth location and aims to establish itself as the preferred clinic for mental health services in East Lansing. Notably, this opening is a response to the community's previous lack of access to reliable mental health treatment options. Michigan Advanced Psychiatry plans to collaborate with other local healthcare providers, ensuring a comprehensive and collaborative approach to care, which can be crucial for effective treatment.

Dr. Schmale stated, "We aim to help patients who don't achieve adequate results from standard first-line treatments. Our clinic tailors the treatment process to fit individual diagnoses and adapts to the changing needs of our patients. Our objective is to facilitate recovery from mental health issues, enabling individuals to lead balanced and fulfilling lives."

Ideal Location for Students

Situated conveniently close to the university, the new East Lansing location is particularly well-suited for students, who often face mental health challenges during pivotal life transitions. The office encourages students and other community members to reach out for consultations as they seek the support they need.

Initially, Michigan Advanced Psychiatry will start healthcare provision through telehealth services and will temporarily operate from the East Lansing address at 612 W Lake Lansing Road. The permanent office, located in the Izzo Family Medical Center at 3220 Discovery Drive, is expected to open in the fall and is just a short drive from the university campus.

In conclusion, with its innovative treatments and focus on community engagement, Michigan Advanced Psychiatry aims to become a cornerstone of mental health support in East Lansing. By embracing a personalized approach to treatment, the practice looks forward to making a significant impact on the lives of individuals struggling with mental health conditions in the area.
