Psychiatric care empowers individuals by providing medicine, education and strategies to better understand and manage anxiety and depression. It can be difficult to pursue this care in the midst of life’s other challenges. Magnolia Med Management is an adult outpatient practice that is led by board certified psychiatrist, Dr. Jeff Sanders. The focus of this practice is to provide efficient treatments for mild to moderate depression and anxiety that integrate well into a busy lifestyle. Dr. Sanders expertly draws upon extensive clinical and scientific experience to deliver evidence-based treatment by telepsychiatry or in person appointments.
Dr. Sanders has several years of experience in mental health care. This work began when he was as an undergraduate and worked as a nursing assistant for patients with severe dementia. He went on to earn an MD and PhD with his dissertation focusing on the role of specific chemical messengers in guiding brain development. After completing residency at The University of California, San Diego he was certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
Dr Sanders has received awards from The National Institute of Mental Health, American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, Society of Biological Psychiatry, American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology and American Psychiatric Association.
These combined experiences and credentials allow Dr. Sanders to draw upon extensive clinical and scientific insight to guide his care of patients. Let’s work together to create a treatment plan that maximizes your quality of life.
**Please note that this practice focuses specifically on treating depression and anxiety. This practice does not prescribe stimulant medication (ie. Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse). Benzodiazepines are prescribed cautiously and judiciously (ie. Ativan, Xanax, Klonopin). Benzodiazepines are typically provided only after safer options have been tried. When they are provided they are usually kept to a minimum and provided for only a short duration of time.
