Genetic Testing

Finding the right psychiatric medication is often a process of trial and error—but it doesn’t have to be.

At Grounding Point, we offer GeneSight® testing to help tailor your treatment plan to your unique needs. This convenient, at-home genetic test examines how your DNA affects your response to various psychiatric medications, offering valuable insights to guide more effective and tolerable treatment options.

The process is simple: we’ll send you a kit, you complete a quick cheek swab, and mail it back in the prepaid envelope. In just a few days, we receive a comprehensive report that organizes medications into three categories: those likely to work well for you, those that may need dose adjustments or closer monitoring, and those that could carry a higher risk of side effects or reduced effectiveness.

By personalizing your medication choices, this approach can help minimize side effects, improve your results, and speed up the process of finding the right medication—especially for those dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or mood disorders.
