Inner Healing Psychiatric Practice Opening in Charleston

News Summary

A new psychiatric practice, Inner Healing, will open in Charleston, S.C., in May. Led by Dr. Suzanne Kerns, the clinic focuses on innovative treatments like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy to help patients with mental health conditions. With a commitment to patient-centered care, Inner Healing aims to offer holistic and comprehensive mental health support.

Charleston, S.C. – A new psychiatric practice, Inner Healing, is set to open in May, aimed at transforming outpatient mental health care through innovative, evidence-based treatments. Located in the Lowcountry, Inner Healing is the only locally owned, physician-led clinic of its kind in the area, focusing on holistic healing, compassion, and scientific methods to help individuals regain their mental wellness rather than merely managing their symptoms.

Founded and led by Dr. Suzanne Kerns, a psychiatrist with over a decade of experience in neuromodulation and interventional psychiatry, Inner Healing integrates rigorous clinical science with personalized care in a tranquil setting. Dr. Kerns has a notable background, having previously served as the Director of the Neuromodulation Clinic at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center and as an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina. Her qualifications also include being a Fellow and the current Treasurer of the Clinical TMS Society.

At Inner Healing, patients seeking help for treatment-resistant conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD will find multiple therapeutic options. The clinic specializes in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), both of which have shown promise in treating individuals who have not found relief through traditional medication or talk therapy.

TMS is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment that utilizes magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas of the brain, and it is particularly effective for patients who struggle to achieve desired outcomes with conventional methods. By offering these innovative treatments, Inner Healing seeks to improve access to psychiatric care that doesn’t depend on daily medication, providing a multidisciplinary model for comprehensive mental health treatment.

Joining Dr. Kerns at the clinic is Robin Secrist, PMHNP-BC, a psychiatric nurse practitioner skilled in adolescent and adult psychiatric care, including emergency settings. Together, they aim to create an environment that fosters healing while addressing the needs of their patients through various therapeutic modalities.

In addition to medication management and psychotherapy, Inner Healing will incorporate advanced brain stimulation techniques and holistic supports such as yoga, breathwork, and wellness coaching. These integrative approaches are designed to create a well-rounded care model, supporting overall mental and physical well-being.

Looking ahead, Inner Healing intends to expand its services in 2025 further, with plans for increased wellness offerings and collaborations with local psychiatrists, therapists, and primary care providers. The clinic also anticipates attracting medical travelers from throughout the Southeast who are seeking expedited TMS care.

As part of their commitment to making mental health treatment accessible, Inner Healing emphasizes the importance of patient-centered care. By focusing on both advanced medical interventions and holistic methods, the clinic hopes to set a new standard in mental health treatment within the region.
