You deserve to find the treatment that actually works for you

Maybe you’re:

  • Tired of trying multiple medications that leave you with side effects and little relief.

  • Frustrated with how long it takes to find the “right fit” for anxiety, depression, or ADHD.

  • Wondering if there’s a more personalized way to manage your mental health.

  • Hesitant to start or switch medications again after past disappointments.

  • Feeling overwhelmed by all the options and unsure what to ask your doctor.

  • Wanting to avoid a long trial-and-error process with psychiatric meds.

You are not alone- and you don’t have to guess your way through treatment.

our approach to Genesight testing

At Wildwood Counseling Services, we know how disheartening it can be to feel like nothing is working. That’s why we offer Genesight psychotropic testing—a simple tool that can provide powerful insights to guide your mental health treatment.

Genesight is a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes your DNA to determine how your body is likely to respond to different psychiatric medications. It’s especially helpful if you’ve struggled with side effects, have a history of multiple medication changes, or want to explore medication options before starting treatment.

This test is quick, non-invasive, and painless—usually completed with a cheek swab during your appointment. Once processed, you’ll receive a personalized report highlighting which medications may be more or less likely to be effective based on your genetic makeup.

Together with your provider, we’ll review the results and use them as a roadmap to inform your care—helping you feel more confident and hopeful about the next steps.

Genesight can help you:

  • Personalize Treatment: Identify medications more likely to work with fewer side effects.

  • Save Time and Frustration: Reduce the trial-and-error process of finding the right medication.

  • Increase Confidence: Make informed decisions about your mental health care.

  • Support Healing: Create a treatment plan based on science, not guesswork.

  • Feel Empowered: Understand how your body may respond to different medications.

Finding the right medication shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. With the right tools, healing is possible.
