Carolina Psychiatry - Spartanburg

Led by psychiatrist Dr. Taral Sharma, Carolina Psychiatry’s Spartanburg office combines medication management with psychological and lifestyle interventions, including options for depression that has not responded to standard treatment. Clinicians provide outpatient psychiatric evaluations for adults and older adults through in-person visits and telepsychiatry. They treat depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and offer second opinions for complex psychiatric cases.

Therapy, TMS, and Spravato

Across the practice, therapists provide individual and group therapy, EMDR, neurofeedback, and craniosacral therapy, while psychiatric clinicians use genetic testing to guide medication decisions. For treatment-resistant depression, clinicians offer transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and Spravato, an esketamine nasal spray. Patients self-administer Spravato under medical supervision during sessions lasting about 2 hours. Staff monitor patients during each Spravato session, and clinicians review progress to adjust treatment frequency.

The practice also evaluates children, teens, and adults for ADHD and provides autism assessments for pediatric and adult patients.
