Help is always out there! If you are experiencing an acute crisis after hours or if your clinician is not available, we recommend the following national resources in addition to other local Charleston resources listed on our main webpage.

One condition that we treat regularly at Sweetgrass Psychiatry is trichotillomania. It can be debilitating and we are passionate about helping people with this relatively common condition. Trichotillomania, also known as hair-pulling disorder, is a mental health condition that involves recurrent, irresistible urges to pull out hair from the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, or other parts of the body. It can be common for affected individuals to spend hours per day hair pulling. Treatment for trichotillomania typically includes a combination of therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and medication.

At Sweetgrass Psychiatry, we believe everyone deserves the best mental health care treatment and a seat at our table regardless of gender identity, sexual identity, race, ethnicity, religion, age (we are working on providing more services for children), abilities/disabilities, socioeconomic level (which is why we proudly take insurance), and educational status.

Two of our favorite evidence-based treatments for depression that we offer at our Mount Pleasant, SC location are Spravato / esketamine and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Both transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and Spravato (esketamine) are FDA-approved treatments for treatment-resistant depression.

At Sweetgrass Psychiatry, we firmly believe no one deserves to undergo sexual assault. If you have been a victim of trauma, we are here to help and support you. We want you to reclaim your body and reclaim your life. You deserve to live free from fear and anxiety. You were made perfectly and beautifully.

How do I know if I should see a psychologist or a psychiatrist? This is a question we get asked a lot here at Sweetgrass Psychiatry!

ADHD stands for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. It is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. ADHD is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with daily functioning or development. It is important to note that individuals with ADHD are often very intelligent.
