Dr. Teresa Anderson

Teresa Anderson.  Teresa is an adult outpatient psychiatrist specializing in depression, anxiety, and PTSD.  She has been in practice for the past 14 years in Cincinnati, Ohio.  Six years ago, she added intravenous ketamine infusions to available treatments and became the first psychiatrist-run ketamine clinic in the state of Ohio.  This treatment offers hope to people who have tried and failed multiple medications and therapies, with an efficacy rate of 70-80%.  Three years ago, PrTMS (or personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) was added to treatment repertoire and her clinic is now one of 12 clinics in the nation providing EEG-guided personalized TMS treatment.  Standard TMS treatment only works as well as medications, about 30% of the time.  Using an EEG to pinpoint lower-functioning areas of the brain, treatment efficacy is to closer to 90%!  Because this treatment is so specialized to the individual, it is safer to use on a wider variety of conditions.  In addition to mood disorders, Teresa's clinic has improved the outcome for post-stroke victims, ADHD, concussions, post-COVID, and perimenopausal brain fog!
