LET’S TAKE A LOOK.
LET’S GET BETTER.

Traditional psychiatry is one of the only medical fields that rarely examines the organ it treats—the brain. Instead, diagnoses are often based on symptoms alone, without biological insight. Brain SPECT imaging shows blood flow and activity patterns, revealing whether your brain is healthy, underactive, or overactive.

YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS, WE’VE GOT ANSWERS

What’s the difference between traditional psychiatry and Amen Clinics?

Traditional psychiatry is the only medical field that typically does NOT look at the organ they treat. When it comes to treatment, they are basically throwing darts in the dark. At Amen Clinics, we’re different. We use leading-edge brain imaging technology called SPECT to help identify patterns in the brain associated with mental health conditions.

Improving the health of your brain and your quality of life is our primary goal, and it all starts with learning how your brain functions. Why? Your brain controls everything you do—from decision making and motivation to healthy relationships and stress resilience. When your brain works right, you work right too! With full evaluations, we obtain: 

  • Detailed clinical histories on your biological, psychological, social, and spiritual background 
  • Cognitive testing 
  • Questionnaires and checklists 
  • Brain SPECT imaging 

We use all of this data to create an individualized, targeted treatment plan specifically for your needs and the way your unique brain functions. Whenever possible and medically appropriate, we like to begin with more natural treatments. 

What is brain SPECT imaging and how can it help with my mental health?

Brain SPECT imaging is a proven and reliable measure of brain blood flow and activity; therefore, it is used as a tool in the evaluation and treatment process at Amen Clinics. SPECT stands for single photon emission computed tomography. It is a nuclear medicine procedure that is widely used to study heart, liver, thyroid, bone, and brain problems. SPECT imaging effectively shows us the patterns of activity in your brain. It allows our physicians to observe three things: areas of the brain that work well; areas of the brain that work too hard; and areas of the brain that don’t work hard enough.  

Do you take insurance?

At Amen Clinics, we understand that navigating insurance and healthcare costs can be challenging. While we are an out-of-network provider, which allows us to offer highly specialized care that goes beyond traditional psychiatry, we do not bill insurance directly.


However, we are committed to making our services as accessible as possible. We provide a detailed superbill with diagnosis and billing codes, which you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.


Additionally, we’ve partnered with CareCredit, a healthcare financing option, to make our specialized services, including SPECT brain scans, more affordable. We believe that everyone deserves access to the highest level of individualized care, and we’re here to help you find a solution that works for you
