What to Expect at Your First Visit to Salma Health

Your first experience with Salma Health may take place in one of our clinics or from home through a secure video call. No matter where you meet us, the goal is the same: to deliver the right treatment for the right person at the right time. 

Your first visit starts with understanding because every brain tells a unique story. Before making any diagnosis or recommendation, we take the time to learn about you, your medical history, your symptoms, and your goals. Additionally, we will discuss how your condition impacts your daily life.

You will meet with a clinician for a two-hour evaluation that covers your full medical and emotional picture. This may include structured interviews, screening tools and advanced diagnostic testing when needed. Some patients may complete imaging or lab work to help us better understand the biological factors that contribute to how they feel.

This first meeting isn’t rushed. It sets the foundation for your care plan. Whether you’re struggling with depression, PTSD, anxiety, migraines or brain injury, our team will design a plan that’s personal and precise.

Science Meets Compassion

Salma Health combines neuroscience, technology and clinical expertise to move beyond guesswork. Our clinics use AI-assisted assessments, imaging and lab testing alongside evidence-based therapies. Treatments may include psychotherapy, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), SAINT® neuromodulation or Spravato® eskatamine therapy.

Each patient is paired with a care coordinator who stays connected throughout treatment. We check in, help manage insurance, and monitor your progress so that no one has to navigate the system alone.
