Dr. Bermudes is Board Certified in Adult Psychiatry and Family Medicine, with 20 years’ experience caring for patients. He founded Mindful Health Solutions in 2007, serves as the practice’s Medical Director, and is an expert on TMS practice organization and policy development. With his background as a professor and researcher, he leads the practice in its mission to educate the public and clinicians on both mental health issues and TMS, to continually seek the most advanced treatments, and to actively contribute to the medical community’s knowledge of mental health conditions and therapy efficacy.

He recently wrote and edited “Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Clinical Applications for Psychiatric Practice”, a book with key research findings on TMS as well as its potential to be used for other conditions such as OCD, PTSD, Adolescent Depression and mild dementia. He is experienced in treating patients with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder), including Unipolar Depression.

Dr. Bermudes is a caring, collaborative practitioner with a structured, goal-oriented approach to treating mental health conditions. His treatment plans may include TMS, medication management or cognitive therapy.

Dr. Bastiaens is a psychiatrist who specializes in treating people suffering from depression and anxiety spectrum disorders (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety, Panic), among other disorders. He maintains an empathetic and professional style with people, listening carefully to understand patients and their individual experience. He wants his patients to feel comfortable, heard, and supported as they work together to develop an optimal treatment plan.

During medical school, Dr. Bastiaens became interested in psychiatry after recognizing how debilitating mental health issues can be for people, as well as the positive impact that treatments can make. He appreciates the meaningful and rewarding connections he develops and maintains with patients.

Dr. Bastiaens also has a great passion for the brain and neuroscience – how electrical and chemical impulses can direct our thoughts, feelings, and functioning. He sees psychiatry as a rapidly growing science incorporating therapy, medications, and interventional modalities, and is glad to be a part of the movement and momentum.

He is a strong proponent of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a newer advancement in psychiatry that can often help people when medications and therapy are not enough. He appreciates that it is well-tolerated, specifically tailored to each individual, and often a more precise treatment when compared to other strategies. As TMS utilizes neuroscientific principles of brain connectivity, it is expanding in the symptoms and illnesses it can treat at the forefront of the psychiatric field. Dr. Bastiaens looks forward to participating in this growth and helping patients find resilience and recovery.

He joined Mindful Health Solutions in the Fall of 2018.

Dr. Vidrine is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist who specializes in treating patients with OCD, Body Dysmorphia, and related Anxiety Disorders. He has always found himself fascinated by the neuroscience of how experience and relationship attachment lead people to become who they are, living how they live, as a product of both their biology and the multitude of experiences (good and bad) that they have accumulated. This passion for understanding both the science and the human experience is what led him to psychiatry, with a particular interest in the field of Interventional Psychiatry and Neuromodulation.

He sees the field of Interventional Psychiatry (including treatments like ECT, TMS, esketamine nasal spray, and deep brain stimulation) as an important sub-specialty offering novel approaches to treating a variety of psychological disorders. He was initially intrigued by TMS because it is one of the most accessible forms of precision, circuit-based clinical treatment that can be offered in psychiatry. Similarly, he has an interest in the future use of psychedelic and plant medicines as aids in coping with the human experience and increasing cognitive flexibility in a number of mental health conditions.

He provides consultations, medication management, and neuromodulation treatments including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and esketamine nasal spray for patients whose symptoms have not completely resolved with therapy and medication. He is particularly experienced with using TMS to treat OCD and a strong proponent for using this intervention to augment Exposure-Response Prevention therapy. Dr. Vidrine approaches all of his patient encounters from the perspective of providing treatment in the interest of getting people to connect with and move closer to their values and incorporates various disciplines including ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ERP (Exposure and Response Therapy), Mindfulness, and the latest evidence in pharmacology, neuroscience, and neuromodulation.

He joined Mindful Health Solutions in August of 2017.
