Our team of mental health specialists strives to improve our patients' quality of life and promote a stronger community. We treat patients holistically and educate them about their conditions. Our team routinely participates in continuing education and hands-on courses. We also routinely consult with clients' families about their collateral histories and interact with other therapists.

As a private practice, Suburban Behavioral Health Services offers the benefit of having a psychiatrist and therapist work together under one roof to coordinate our patients' care, closely monitor them, and make appropriate changes to treatment protocols as needed. With the tagline "thinking beyond," the team does more than just prescribe medication; they think outside the box, limiting the use of controlled substances and offering alternative treatments.
Suburban Behavioral Health Services provides new treatments, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), IV ketamine infusion, and SPRAVATO® (esketamine) intranasal therapy, for anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorders. We also include individual, family, relationship, and group counseling, as well as medication management. The team is now accepting new patients and may book appointments within a few days.

Dear Patients,
Mental illness in general is a very complex interplay of biological, psychological, social, and environmental factors.
Treatment of mental illness is a lot more challenging than other illnesses we encounter in General Medicine. As a result of this complexity, it often happens that patients end up on multiple psychiatric medications giving rise to increased risk of drug-drug or drug-body interactions and adverse effects.
We at Suburban Behavioral Health strive to educate patients about the importance of healthy lifestyle like sleep, diet, the importance of close relationships, serving others, and avoiding alcohol and recreational drugs to help achieve a great outcome.
Use of benzodiazepines like Alprazolam (Xanax), Clonazepam (Klonopin), Diazepam (Valium), and sleep aids (Ambien, Restoril) have long term consequences like addiction/ dependence, cognitive problems like memory, concentration, and wakefulness issues. We at SBHS will work to minimize use of those class of medications.
If patients are using Alcohol, Cannabis or other Substances that are deemed abusable by the treating clinician, patients will be asked to abstain from their use in order to treat their mental health conditions effectively. Requests for stimulants to treat ADHD and related conditions may not be considered if the patient is either using currently or in the recent past. If the patient is willing to stop using these substances, sometimes detox in a hospital may be required depending upon the substance/s being used.
A drug screen may be requested by the treating clinician before start of treatment and at random times thereafter.
We hope that you understand and work with us in this regard. If you do not agree, in that case we may not be the right choice for you and we understand that and still wish you best in your health and we hope you find that right fit for your healthcare needs.
Sincerely,
Suburban Behavioral Health Services
