Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a collaborative, evidence-based approach that helps individuals understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing healthier coping strategies. Through guided conversations in a supportive, nonjudgmental setting, patients can explore challenges, gain insight, and learn practical skills for lasting change. Whether addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, or relationship concerns, psychotherapy empowers people to improve emotional well-being, strengthen resilience, and build a more fulfilling, balanced life. We’re proud to offer psychotherapy in a warm, supportive, educational, and empathic atmosphere.
Spravato
Ketamine
Intravenous and Intramuscular Ketamine treatments are an innovative option for individuals with severe or treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, OCD, and/or PTSD. These treatments can offer rapid symptom relief by acting on glutamate pathways rather than the slower serotonin-based mechanisms of traditional antidepressants. This unique approach can help “reset” neural connections and promote neuronal growth, often improving mood, reducing suicidal thoughts, and restoring emotional flexibility within hours to days. Backed by growing clinical evidence,
ketamine provides new hope for patients who haven’t found success with standard therapies. At Phoenix Mental Health, our team provides safe, monitored ketamine sessions designed to support healing, improve mood, and help patients move toward lasting wellness.
ECT Treatment
ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy) is a highly effective, FDA-approved treatment used primarily for severe depression, especially when other interventions have not been successful. It involves carefully controlled electrical stimulation to the brain, which can rapidly improve mood and mental health symptoms. Administered under anesthesia in a monitored medical environment, ECT is a safe and evidence-based option that has helped many individuals regain stability and quality of life.
Advanced Deep TMS Treatment
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, cutting edge, and evidence based procedure used to treat major depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder in patients that have not improved with other treatment modalities, such as antidepressant medications and/or psychotherapy. Phoenix Mental Health is the only clinic in San Antonio that is offering Deep TMS by Brainsway. This is the newest in TMS technology and was shown to be more effective than regular TMS in a head-to-head clinical study. Consultation appointments are available with a Phoenix Mental Health physician if you are interested and would like to learn more!
—Dr. Johnston
Dr. Johnston founded Phoenix Mental Health to bring new, innovative, evidence-based treatments for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) to the people of San Antonio and beyond. Phoenix Mental Health is the first clinical site in San Antonio to offer Deep Brain Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), while also offering IV Ketamine and Intranasal Ketamine (Spravato); all for the treatment of MDD. Our team works hard to provide these treatments in a comfortable, caring, and empathic atmosphere to ensure that your experience is a positive one.
Sometimes, it’s hard not to take things personally. As someone who struggled with anxiety, Dr. Johnston knows firsthand the difficulties many patients deal with. The issue of mental health is a very personal and private battle. The notion that our brain is “broken” throws so much into question. Nervously asking ourselves in our most quiet and private place;
“If this part of my brain isn’t working, what else in my brain isn’t working?”
Find your happiness and learn to put it first.
