Psychiatrist
Animo Sano Psychiatry strives to provide the best-in-class Behavioral Healthcare! To provide high-quality and accessible care for all!
Hello, I'm Dr. Caleb Whitenack, I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of women’s mental health issues, ADD/ADHD, panic attacks, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder. I saw a child patient in medical school who had type I diabetes that also had huge psychosocial stressors contributing to his repeated hospitalizations. I wanted to be able to help treat the whole person, body and mind. Animo Sano has those same goals to strive for a healthy mind. I utilize TMS treatment for depression. Every time I see a horribly depressed person have incredible improvement with TMS treatment. Hearing them say “I have my life back” is extremely powerful and motivating for me.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Neurostar and Brainsway
TMS is a safe, non-invasive treatment cleared by the FDA to help treat depression in patients who have not found relief with standard treatments. TMS works by using short, magnetic impulses to stimulate underactive nerve cells in brain regions known to regulate mood, helping to reset brain chemistry.
