We Are Experts Who Help You Feel Better, Faster
We are a team of board-certified psychiatrists who understand how hard it can be to keep going when you’re not getting better. Making a change, especially trusting a new doctor, takes real courage, and we don’t take that lightly.
If you are suffering from treatment-resistant depression, you may feel discouraged, confused, or even suicidal after trying multiple treatments without lasting relief. Led by Nicholas G. Pejic MD, along with Kayla Seals NP and Erin Thomas, our team provides advanced, evidence-based care for depression, OCD, anxiety, and more. We have been performing TMS since 2014 and also offer Ketamine and SPRAVATO® for patients who have not responded well to standard treatments. Through thorough second opinions, targeted lab work, and pharmacogenetic testing, we work to uncover what has been missed. We also address often-overlooked contributors such as anxiety, grief, and trauma so patients can experience meaningful and lasting improvement.
Many of our patients come to us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why nothing has worked. Through a careful, in-depth evaluation and a personalized treatment plan, we help patients identify what is truly driving their symptoms and get back to functioning at their best. We have guided many people through this process, and we’d like to do it for you.
Our goal is to get you completely well.

What our patients have to say...
Stephen
My doctor surprised me. He has a gift not only of compassion, he has an uncanny ability to zero in on the complex, unique ways your brain works and how this affects one's life. I have always fought depression. It has crippled my life, like so many others. The shame and self hatred, the burden I was to any who knew me. With a change of medication by my doctor's care and knowledge, my life has greatly improved. I reconnected with a part of myself I didn't even realize was missing. I am so thankful."
Chelsea
"My psychiatrist listened intently in our first session, taking careful note of details that even I thought insignificant. He is extremely intent on finding the correct diagnosis, and does not jump to conclusions until he has really gotten to know you. My psychologist was also extremely accommodating and attentive. She collected an enormous amount of information from me, my relatives, my spouse, and from different tests, eventually compiling it all into exactly the detailed, empirical report I wanted. The staff is responsive, the office is gorgeous, and every conversation I've had with one of the doctors has been very comfortable. Bottom line: If you want a healthcare provider who listens, takes a comprehensive account of your mind, and is not impulsive in prescribing a treatment plan, choose these folks. Their efforts have given me immense relief from many problems that I considered immutable."
Joseph
"I've been seeing my doctor for almost four years now. He has been instrumental in my recovery and progress through some very difficult situations in my life. He understands medicine very well and communicates articulately also utilizing common sense and best practices. He is perceptive and has a good memory. He is most importantly ethical and has integrity. I trust him. I value his advice and his opinion. With his guidance and help as a medical professional I continue to grow and achieve despite life's curve balls. I highly recommend Atlas Psychiatry to anyone committed to addressing their mental health.
