At Amen Clinics, the evaluation is just the beginning.

Treatment is where the real progress happens.
And we will guide you through both.

The Amen Clinics Method

Your Treatment Journey

Every patient journey at Amen Clinics follows five steps, from your first conversation to long-term results. Your evaluation gives us the map. Your treatment program is how we get you where you want to go.

Step 1

Tell us your story.

The first step on your healing journey is a conversation with one of our Brain Health Advisors. During this confidential consultation, we’ll take the time to learn your story, understand your symptoms, challenges, goals, and health history, and answer any questions you may have about our services and approach.

Our Brain Health Advisors are here to help you better understand your options, explain what to expect, and guide you toward the path that best fits your unique needs. By the end of the conversation, you’ll have a clearer understanding of your next steps and how Amen Clinics may be able to help you on your journey to better brain health.

Step 2

See how your brain is functioning.

At Amen Clinics, we are dedicated to giving you and your clinician a better understanding of how your brain is functioning.

Brain Scans
You’ll get two brain scans (SPECT): one at rest, one while focusing on a task. SPECT shows blood flow and activity in your brain. This helps your Amen Clinics physician see what’s really driving your symptoms — with more precision than traditional psychiatry.

Additional assessments may include:

  • Brain mapping with qEEG
  • Neuropsychological testing to identify your strengths and areas for improvement
  • Diagnostic and lab testing for biological contributors and medical issues
  • Standardized clinical rating scales matched to your conditions

This is not guesswork, it’s objective data.

Step 3

Get your personalized treatment plan.

Your physician will explain your results in detail: what your scans show, what it means for your diagnosis, and what we recommend to help you improve. This is an in-depth conversation, not a rushed appointment. You’ll have plenty of time for questions.

Your treatment plan is built for your unique brain and needs. It may include:

Step 4

Partner with us for your treatment.

You don’t need to find another provider. Amen Clinics offers full-service care, making us the ideal partner for your brain health journey. We’ve tracked over 16,000 patients. The result is clear: patients who stay engaged with treatment improve significantly more than those who don’t.

Depending on your plan, continued care at Amen Clinics may include:

  • Psychiatry visits
  • Functional medicine follow-ups, treatment, and lab reviews
  • Therapy with a licensed Amen Clinics therapist
  • Supplement check-ins through BrainMD
  • EMDR with licensed providers
  • Nutritional coaching
  • Neurofeedback treatment series
  • Medication management
  • HBOT sessions (select locations)

Most follow-ups and medication management happen via telehealth, so you can continue care from anywhere.

Step 5

Track your progress.

To help keep you on track with your progress, we create a structured follow-up timeline that begins soon after receiving your evaluation results and treatment plan.

Here’s what your ongoing support and accountability check-ins look like:

Patient Story

What Getting Better at Amen Clinics Actually Looks Like

Getting an evaluation at Amen Clinics gave Eric Crane the answers he had been searching for. But the answers were just the beginning.

Before

What wasn’t working?

Getting an evaluation at Amen Clinics gave Eric Crane the answers he had been searching for. But the answers were just the beginning.

Evaluation

What we found

When Eric came to Amen Clinics, his SPECT scan revealed under-activity in certain areas of his brain. Eric remembers his Amen Clinics doctor saying that “the brain gives itself OCD in order to have enough stimulation in that area to function more efficiently.”

No one had ever explained it that way, but it made so much sense.

Treatment

What we did together

Eric’s treatment plan included taking the stimulant medication Ritalin, along with other lifestyle recommendations. After continuing care with his Amen Clinics physician, he says his life has improved dramatically.

After

Where are they now?

“I’m better able to sleep, and I’m actually able to do things quickly,” he says. “I get out of bed in a reasonable amount of time and get to work and can be productive.”

Brain Health Advisor consultation

“It would take literally three hours from the alarm went off in the morning to leave my dorm room to go have breakfast because of compulsions,” says Eric.

Years of trial and error with medication left Eric without the relief he was looking for.

Nearly two decades of compulsions shaped daily life before Eric found answers.

The core story isn’t ‘I got better’ — it’s ‘I finally understood what was going on, I felt heard, and I left with hope and a plan.’
