A psychiatric practice in Oak Brook, Illinois, with two jobs: evaluating whether Exomind neuromodulation is right for you, and treating the metabolic physiology that decides how well your brain works and how long it stays that way. The thinking behind it is explored in my forthcoming book Brain Spam (Coming soon).
Philosophy
Every mood, every surge of anxiety, every flat morning starts as a signal from the body that the brain reads and turns into feeling. This is interoception, and it is where I begin.
Most psychiatric care listens to the story a patient tells. I also listen to the signals underneath it: what the metabolic labs show, how the nervous system is pacing itself, what the skin is reporting, and how the body is being fed and rested. When those signals are distorted, the brain draws distorted conclusions. At this point, no amount of talking changes a signal the body keeps sending.
So treatment here works on both ends. Metabolic psychiatry addresses how the body is fed, fueled, moved, rested, and affected by inflammation—changing what the body sends. The daily habits that shape that physiology are part of the prescription. Targeted neuromodulation with EXOMIND changes how the brain receives those signals. Specific psychotherapy can amplify its effectiveness.
The aim is not just fewer symptoms, but a body and brain that read each other accurately for decades. That is what longevity means in psychiatry: a brain that stays clear and a body that keeps it that way.
EXOMIND
This is a focused practice. I do not replace your psychiatrist or therapist. I evaluate whether Exomind is a sound next step, deliver it when it is, and treat the metabolic physiology underneath so the result holds and the brain ages well. Adults 18 and over, in person in Oak Brook.
Evaluation
A 90-minute psychiatric assessment: your history, current treatment, medical contraindications, and what your body signals say about how you are likely to respond. You leave with a clear answer, whether that is a course of Exomind, a different recommendation, or a referral back to your treating clinician.
Ask about an evaluation
Treatment
EXOMIND’s patented ExoTMS® technology is based on noninvasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), studied for decades in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD).
Its FDA-cleared indications include treatment of depressive episodes and decreasing anxiety symptoms in adults with MDD who may have comorbid anxiety symptoms and have not achieved satisfactory improvement with prior antidepressant medication in the current episode. It is also cleared as an adjunctive treatment for adult obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and for MDD in patients aged 15–21.
This practice currently sees adults 18 and over. Whether a course is appropriate is determined through a psychiatric evaluation. Treatment is supervised by me and tracked with measured outcomes.
Ask a general questionIntegrated care
Treatment here includes your physiology. Glucose and insulin, inflammation, lipids, thyroid, nutrient status, sleep and the gut are measured and treated as part of psychiatric care, because they are the signals the brain is reading.
Nutrition is handled at a clinical level: microbiome and metabolic testing where indicated, targeted nutrients, and a precise food plan built from your results rather than general advice. So is the rest of the day: how you sleep, when you see daylight, how much you move and how hard, what you drink, and how your nervous system recovers from stress. These are prescribed and tracked like any other treatment. The goal is a longer, sharper healthspan, not just a quieter mood. Coordinated with your existing prescriber when you have one. Where medication management makes sense as part of the plan, I can provide it.
Getting started
A 15-minute conversation to confirm Exomind is worth evaluating in your case before you commit to a full visit.
A 90-minute visit: history, current treatment, contraindications, body signals, and labs where useful. You leave with a clear recommendation.
If indicated, a scheduled series of Exomind sessions alongside metabolic treatment, with progress measured at set points.
The practice is self-pay and out of network with all insurers. Superbills are provided for out-of-network reimbursement. Under the federal No Surprises Act you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before care begins; one is provided at scheduling and on request.
Questions
Yes. Exomind is BTL's FDA-cleared transcranial magnetic stimulation system. It is a medical treatment, delivered in the practice and supervised by me.
That depends on you. Many patients keep their own psychiatrist or therapist, and I send a written summary back to them. If you prefer to have your medication managed here alongside the Exomind course, that is available too.
No. You can contact the practice directly. If you have a treating clinician, I will ask for their input and keep them informed.
The evaluation and all Exomind sessions are in person in Oak Brook. Brief follow-ups can be by video for Illinois residents.
No. The practice is self-pay. You receive a superbill to submit to your insurer for out-of-network reimbursement.
No. The practice sees adults 18 and over. For an emergency, call 988 or 911.
Forthcoming book
My forthcoming book explores the thinking behind this practice: what is your body sending, and what is your brain making of it? It introduces the body-to-brain perspective that informs my approach to psychiatric care.
