Our Psychiatric Services in Fontana, CA
Psychiatric Assessment
Our process begins with a thorough evaluation to understand your unique situation. This can include psychological testing and an assessment of your home and family environment to establish a complete picture of your needs and goals for treatment.
Medication Management
For many, medication is a critical component of managing mental health conditions. Our psychiatric providers work closely with you to find the right medication and dosage, providing ongoing management to ensure its effectiveness and adjust as needed.
Individual Psychotherapy
We offer one-on-one psychotherapy sessions in 30, 45, or 60-minute increments. These sessions provide a confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and work toward personal growth with a dedicated therapist.
Family and Couples Therapy
Mental health often involves the family system. We provide therapy for couples and families, either with or without the primary patient present, to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relational bonds for a healthier home environment.
Spravato Treatment
As part of our advanced treatment options, we offer Spravato (esketamine) for individuals with treatment-resistant depression. This innovative nasal spray is administered in a supervised setting to provide rapid relief for qualifying patients.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. It is an effective option for those who have not found relief with other treatments.
Group Therapy
Connecting with others who have similar experiences can be profoundly healing. We offer group therapy sessions for small groups of 2-4 or 5-8 patients, focusing on education and self-management skills in a supportive, peer-led environment.

FAQs About Psychiatrist in Fontana, CA
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in mental health, including prescribing medication. A therapist, such as a licensed clinical social worker or marriage and family therapist, provides psychotherapy or ‘talk therapy’. At Progressive Movement Inc., our collaborative model allows us to offer both services for comprehensive care.
What can I expect during my first psychiatric appointment?
Your first appointment will involve a comprehensive assessment of your mental, physical, and family history. This helps our provider understand your symptoms, concerns, and goals to develop an effective and personalized treatment plan.
Do I need both therapy and medication?
Not everyone requires both. The decision depends on your specific diagnosis and needs. Our team will conduct a thorough assessment to recommend the most suitable approach, which may be medication, therapy, or a combination of both for the most effective outcome.
How long does psychiatric treatment last?
The duration of treatment varies for each individual. Some may need short-term support to navigate a specific crisis, while others may benefit from long-term medication management and therapy for chronic conditions. Your treatment plan will be tailored to you and adjusted over time.
