Our Services

Psychiatric Evaluations

A psychiatric evaluation helps identify symptoms, concerns, and treatment needs so your provider can recommend an individualized plan of care. At Jiva Psychiatry, our clinicians take time to understand your history, current challenges, and goals, with care available for patients ages 6 and older across Illinois.

Pharmacogenetic Testing

Pharmacogenetic testing can provide information about how genetic differences may affect the way a person processes certain medications. At Jiva Psychiatry, this testing may be used as one part of the clinical decision-making process when evaluating medication options, alongside symptoms, treatment history, medical factors, and patient preferences.
