SERVICES
Complex Care,
Clear Direction.
Whole-person insight, healing, and life renewal.
There are three primary services at McKinney Behavioral Health:
STEP 1
The Advanced Clinical Intensive
STEP 2
The Shift
STEP 3
Aftercare
All clients complete The Advanced Clinical Intensive to access the other levels of care. The Advanced Clinical Intensive is our core offering, where we establish your personalized and written Roadmap, curate treatment options, and discover your priorities.
STEP 1:
Advanced Clinical Intensive
6 weeks, 2-3 visits, Labs, Roadmap
The focus of the Advanced Clinical Intensive is data collection, interpretation and synthesis of findings. These data sources inform the development of your personalized Roadmap to healing. We will review your biopsychosocial history, symptoms, medications, pharmacogenomics, inflammatory markers, methylation markers (biochemical energy production) and advanced labs to identify what may be driving your persistent symptoms.
The first visit is about actively listening to the story of you. The time between the first and second visits is spent interpreting the science of you (lab results, genetics, biomarkers). The second visit then allows time for us to review the Roadmap together, make changes based on your priorities and consider the best way forward.
You receive:
A premium Advanced Clinical Insight Intensive for treatment resistant depression.
A depth interview, analysis of biomarkers, labs, genetics, and other studies as appropriate.
A whole-person interpretation of psychiatric, metabolic, inflammatory, micronutrient, and genetic data as they contribute to mood, energy, sleep, cognition, and historical treatment response.
A personalized bio-psychiatric plan with treatment recommendations. The treatment plan includes targeted next steps for nutrition, lifestyle, inflammation reduction, methylation or nutrient support, medication considerations, and coordination with medical providers when requested.
A written Roadmap report summarizing the most meaningful findings in clear language, outlining the recommendations for treatment, and any necessary referrals to specialists or primary care.
75-90 minutes x 2-3 visits + diagnostics interpretation+ recommendations+written Roadmap+ correspondence.
Investment $1200
Lab costs are separate and may be eligible for insurance coverage.
STEP 2:
The Shift
14 weeks, 4-6 visits, Roadmap implementation
A focused implementation phase to transform the Advanced Clinical Intensive Roadmap and medication recommendations into transformative life change. This is where we refine, prioritize, and begin shifting the physiology, patterns, and daily behaviors that influence mood, energy, cognition, and treatment response. Our Enhancement services may come into play during The Shift if it fits your Roadmap objectives and aligns with safety parameters.
You receive:
Four, unrushed, 60-75 minute follow-up sessions supporting your Roadmap objectives, education, and clinical needs
Medication, supplement, and dietary adjustments when clinically appropriate
Structured implementation support for physiology, behavior, lifestyle, and nervous system regulation
Between-session text check-ins to support momentum, accountability, and early course correction
4 - 60-min visits + teaching, coaching, check-ins, and consultation.
Investment $1,500
After completion of The Shift, clients may re-subscribe to this level or move into the After Care phase. Enhancement services may be added to either Step 2, The Shift, or the After Care phase.
STEP 3:
After Care:
After Care is designed for clients who have completed Step 1: The Advanced Clinical Intensive and Step 2: The Shift. This phase provides continued access to support after the foundational work is completed.
During After Care, your personalized Roadmap or Transition plan may be revisited and updated. Recommendations related to medication, supplementation, labs, movement, and Enhancement services may be re-evaluated as clinically appropriate. The goal is to help you maintain progress, make timely adjustments, and receive thoughtful support as your life and needs continue to evolve.
After Care Options:
The Shift Renewal Package — for clients who want continued structured support, coaching, and implementation guidance. Check-ins, lab surveillance, biometric tracking, Roadmap updates, and 4 - 60 min visits. Investment $1200
Mini-Session Package — three 25-minute appointments for brief tune-ups, focused evaluation, med checks, and targeted adjustments. Must be used within 12 months of purchase. Investment $450
Continued Medication Support is available in After Care when regular recommended follow-ups are maintained to support safety, timely adjustments, and lab surveillance if indicated. Recommended follow-up frequency is based on mental health status, medication type, and safety assessment. Referrals to outside providers will be made if clients are unable to adhere to safety-focused compliance policies.
Enhancement Services may be continued in After Care if they align with the treatment plan and Roadmap goals.
Enhancement Services
Enhancements are optional add-on services designed to deepen, support, or accelerate the work begun in the Advanced Clinical Intensive and continued in The Shift. Enhancement services are curated by Dr. McKinney based on decades of clinical practice. Examples of Enhancement Services are mind-body practices, medication-assisted psychotherapy, and metabolic support strategies as adjuncts and often keys to effective mental health care. Many of these options address inflammation, stress physiology, and whole-person wellness. These services are selected intentionally and clinically. Enhancements are not “extras” for the sake of doing more. They are carefully chosen supports that may help improve emotional flexibility, nervous system regulation, motivation, embodiment, metabolic health, social connection, and follow-through. Enhancement service offerings vary by season and availability. Please inquire about the most current services list and prices.
If eligible and appropriate, we offer in-house oral ketamine services. We also provide direct preparation, education, and transfer into advanced services options including TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), Spravato, and ketamine services. Diagnostic criteria, safety assessments, and treatment goals are some determining factors.
Nervous System Reset
The Nervous System Reset Session is a private, one-on-one experience designed to help you slow down, settle your body, and learn practical ways to shift from stress activation into a more regulated state. Many people with depression, anxiety, trauma history, chronic stress, sleep disruption, or emotional exhaustion live with a nervous system that has been “on” for too long.
This session offers a gentle, supported way to begin lowering physiologic tone — the body’s background level of tension, vigilance, and stress arousal. Using yogic relaxation approaches , gentle movement, body awareness, and guided rest, you will learn how to reconnect with your body in a safe and compassionate way. Yoga mats and supportive props are provided. No experience or specific fitness level required. This is where science-informed mental health care meets embodied healing.
Therapeutic Field Sessions
Healing does not always happen best in an office. For established, female clients, therapeutic field sessions may include meeting for ‘therapeutic’ coffee, walking in a park, or engaging in reflective conversation in a calm, real-world setting. Therapeutic field sessions are held in thoughtfully selected real-world settings — such as a walking path, quiet café, or restorative outdoor space — to support reflection, nervous system regulation, and meaningful life practice. These sessions are designed to support insight, confidence, social ease, and integration. Movement, nature settings, and a less formal environment allow clients to access thoughts, emotions, and possibilities that do not emerge as easily in a traditional clinical room. Field sessions are used thoughtfully and only when clinically appropriate.
Targeted Nutrient Support
Supplementation and general dietary recommendations are included in your Step 1, Advanced Clinical Intensive, personalized Roadmap. However, when lab findings or symptoms suggest that nutrient status may be affecting energy, mood, clarity, sleep, or resilience, targeted supplementation may be considered as part of a whole-person care plan. B12 injections are one option when symptoms or lab findings suggest possible insufficiency. We can also help guide clients in choosing quality supplements, appropriate dosing, and safe options that fit their personal treatment goals.
Metabolic Support
Metabolic support may include medically supervised use of medications such as GLP1 peptides when clinically appropriate and indicated. This enhancement is designed for clients whose fatigue, inflammation, insulin resistance, medication-induced weight gain, or metabolic health may be contributing to persistently depressed mood. The goal is not simply weight loss. The goal is to support the body as part of the healing system. Improved metabolic function is shown to decrease inflammation, a major contributor to sustained depression states. Some clients feel more capable, more energized, and more able to participate in the deeper work of recovery. This clinical service addresses inflammation-fueled mental health challenges and medication-induced weight gain. It is offered under strict clinical protocols including laboratory surveillance and follow-up evaluations. (Metabolic factors must be directly tied to depression treatment resistance or medication effects. We do not replace primary care and will refer patients to primary care providers for disease states such as diabetes or significantly elevated lipid levels, etc.)
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Sessions
For appropriate clients, low-dose ketamine services may be used under clinically supervised conditions as an enhancement to deeper therapeutic work. It is used with intention, clinical preparation, monitoring, and integration. Ketamine-assisted telehealth support is offered only for carefully selected patients as part of a broader treatment plan. Medication sessions include safety screening, preparation, monitored support, and integration. This is not a stand-alone ketamine access service as sessions are integrated into The Shift or After Care. Ketamine-supported sessions may help appropriate clients access buried emotions, soften rigid thinking patterns, create psychological distance from old narratives, and explore new ways of relating to themselves and their lives. These sessions are especially suited for clients with treatment-resistant depression, emotional “stuckness”, or long-standing patterns that have not shifted with standard care alone.
Direct Referral Access to TMS, Spravato and IV ketamine
For clients who require advanced medications, we are able to provide medical screening, intake forms, and educational preparation for Spravato, IV ketamine, and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in the Columbia, Lexington, and Myrtle Beach areas. This service allows more rapid access to novel medications and direct integration of MBH care with cutting edge treatments.
Professional Movement Coach
We strongly recommend movement for mental wellness. Physical training may be recommended as part of the transformation Roadmap plan. Depression often affects energy, strength, posture, confidence, metabolism, and one’s sense of personal agency. Movement supports whole-body healing by helping clients rebuild strength, increase vitality, improve confidence, and experience the body as an ally rather than an obstacle. Physical training may be especially helpful for clients working on mood, aging, metabolic health, identity, resilience, or self-trust. McKinney Behavioral Health provides curated referrals for professional physical training services.
