Tyson Lippe, M.D.

Regional Medical Director
I am board certified in general psychiatry and enjoy working with adults of all ages.
Read MoreIn addition to oral medications and psychotherapy, I received training in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroconvulsive (ECT) during my residency. My repertoire expanded into ketamine and Spravato® in previous positions, and I find a blended approach of multiple modalities is often required for sufficient relief for patients. I believe all of us will be impacted by mental health at some point, be it personally or from those around us. Because psychiatric conditions are so ubiquitous, it requires individualized approaches. Together, we will find the correct blend of treatments for you to drive change in your life and better your future.
