How We Help
Flexible care shaped just for you
Geode connects you with expert psychiatry or therapy resources, or a combination of both, depending on your needs.
Psychiatry
Geode’s board certified psychiatrists work with both children and adults to make a diagnosis and manage medications.
Advanced Treatments
Geode Health’s local offices allow us to offer more intensive treatment options like TMS and Spravato (intranasal Ketamine).
What we treat
Geode’s practices offer care tailored to individual needs
Depression & Mood
From mild seasonal depression to severe, treatment-resistant depression & bipolar disorder, Geode’s providers deliver the expert help you need to get better.
Anxiety & Panic
Anxiety is often a normal response to uncertainty, but if it ever becomes extreme or long lasting, getting the right treatment can be a life-changing relief.
Behavior & ADHD
Conditions like ADHD that negatively impact behavior at home, school, or work can be a source of great distress. Often a mix of therapy and medication can help people regain control.
Dealing With Trauma
Trauma disorders may be caused by an upsetting experience, such as a death, violence, or serious injury. Get help overcoming symptoms, along with the original trauma.
Disordered Eating
Disordered eating can affect people of all ages, genders, and body types, and can take many forms. Long-term recovery starts with a plan personalized to your unique situation.
Addiction
Substance use and other addiction issues may cause serious physical and emotional problems and hurt your quality of life. The road to recovery often begins with expert help and support from those who care for you.

Frequently asked questions about working with Geode Health
Our Rockford location stands out for its integration of evidence-based talk therapy with advanced treatments, targeting a range of mental health issues including mood disorders and adolescent psychiatry. The Geode Health team in Rockford is adept in addressing the complex spectrum of mental illnesses, tailoring their service to the unique needs of the Rockford community. We prioritize accessibility, offering various payment options for our mental health treatment. Our Rockford clinic is a nurturing environment, promoting active patient participation in personalized care plans, reinforcing the collaborative essence of effective mental health care.
Rockford psychiatric specialists at Geode Health, being medical doctors, have the unique ability to prescribe medication and manage medical aspects of mental health issues like bipolar disorder, which therapists cannot. Their extensive training in psychiatry and medication management is crucial for comprehensive mental health treatment. Therapists, on the other hand, focus on various effective talk therapies and often work in conjunction with psychiatrists to provide all-encompassing care.
At Geode Health, the frequency of therapy or psychiatry sessions is highly personalized, considering each individual’s specific needs and circumstances. Whether it’s weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, our mental health professionals in Rockford craft a treatment plan that best aligns with your unique situation, ensuring you receive the most effective care.
While psychologists at Geode Health often hold doctorate degrees, they are not medical doctors and specialize in non-pharmacological approaches to mental health care, like counseling and therapy. Psychiatrists, in contrast, are medical doctors with a focus on medication management for mental health issues. However, they are also equipped to provide talk therapy and other complementary treatments, offering a comprehensive approach to mental health treatment.
