Genetic (GeneSight) Testing

We offer GeneSight testing as a tool to guide personalized treatment for mental health conditions. GeneSight is a genetic test that analyzes how your DNA may affect your response to certain psychiatric medications. By examining specific genetic markers, this test provides insights into which medications might work best for you, helping to minimize side effects and improve outcomes. This can be especially valuable to those who have failed multiple trials of psychotropic medications.

GeneSight testing is simple and non-invasive, requiring only a cheek swab. Results are typically available within a few days and can help us make more informed decisions about your medication plan, tailoring it to your unique genetic profile. This is generally covered by some private insurances and by Medicaid/Husky.
