My Practice
Your emotional and mental state is as vital to you as your physical health; if you do not tend to your emotional and mental needs, your wellbeing and quality of life could deteriorate as a result. Indeed, it is even possible to be physically fit, but be mentally and emotionally vulnerable. Fortunately, and just like your physical body, your emotions and mental state can be tended to and treated for whenever you experience an issue. Superior Psychiatric Services is there to help you cope, manage, and overcome your inner limitations. If you need a reliable female psychiatrist in Newport Beach or Orange County, you have come to the right place.
Dr. Alexis Meshi, the head of Superior Psychiatric Services, is highly trained and certified to provide psychiatric therapy and medication. Women in Newport Beach and Orange County who need a female therapist that can address their female-specific issues (such as reproductive associated mood disorders) will be glad to know that Dr. Meshi specializes in dealing with such concerns. She is dedicated to providing a peaceful and nurturing environment for her clients, and ultimately leading them toward self-improvement. Her commitment to proper treatment is such that she even offers special programs, scheduling, pricing, and services, depending on the needs of her clients.
I use a client-centered therapy and pharmaceutical approach to treat a wide range of conditions, some of which include:
- Depression and suicidal feelings
- Anxiety disorders – obsessive-compulsive, post traumatic panic, generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety
- Self-esteem and self-image problems
- Personality disorders
- Marital and relationship conflicts
- Eating disorders
- Psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia
We work closely with an extended team of medical professionals to provide the care that you deserve.
I have a particular interest in women’s mental health issues, especially in the impact of the reproductive lifecycle on women’s emotional well being. I enjoy providing care to women struggling with PMS, illness during pregnancy and the postpartum period and during menopause.
I also have an interest and background in functional brain imaging and its use in psychiatric practice. I spent three years in training and becoming proficient in the use of brain imaging. Here I enjoy holding consultations with patients to determine if they can be helped by undergoing a functional brain imaging test such as SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography). I also enjoyed providing the appropriate follow up treatment for them as well. I am also currently offering Trancranial Magnetic Stimulation Treatments (TMS.)

We are also excited to announce that we are now offering SPRAVATO! SPRAVATO is a prescription medication, used along with an antidepressant taken by mouth, for the treatment of treatment resistant depression or TRD. In March of this year (2019) the FDA approved Spravato and we are more than thrilled! We are already treating clients with it!
The nasal spray must be given in a REMS Certified clinic and under the supervision of a physician. It can not be taken home. Patients administer the medication to themselves in the office. REMS or risk mitigation and evaluation strategy is a drug safety program administered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or FDA.
What we think is so incredible about SPRAVATO is that clients will find some relief from depression symptoms in as little as 24 hours! To learn more, please check out our full description here.
