Where Science Meets Holistic Wellness
West Eastern Health was founded on the belief that every aspect of our health is intricately connected. Located in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, and serving patients throughout Jacksonville and Northeast Florida, our clinic bridges the gap between modern Western medicine and time-tested Eastern healing traditions.
Our team combines psychiatric expertise, neuroscience research, functional medicine, and holistic therapies to address the root causes of mental health conditions — not just the symptoms. From ketamine-assisted therapy and TMS to neurofeedback and IV wellness, we offer a comprehensive suite of evidence-based treatments designed for lasting transformation.
Our mission is to provide compassionate, integrative mental health care that honors the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. We believe that true healing requires more than medication management; it demands a comprehensive understanding of each patient's unique neurobiology, lifestyle, and wellness goals.
By combining cutting-edge neuroscience technologies like qEEG brain mapping with integrative, holistic care, we create personalized treatment protocols that address the root cause of each condition. Our evidence-based research background ensures that every treatment we offer is grounded in science and delivered with compassion.

The staff was kind, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable the whole time. The process was easy and relaxing, and I felt well taken care of. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to boost their immunity and feel their best!"
"Keeping healthy is no easy task these days. There are so many sources of information that it’s easy to become overwhelmed and it’s difficult to know what sources to trust. At the same time, traditional doctors are focused on symptoms and medications and are usually too busy to spend enough time with us to get to know the whole patient. West Eastern Health feels different. From the moment I walked in, I could feel that the staff was caring, attentive and focused on whole health. Everyone was super nice and made me feel cared for. Not only that, but it’s clear that the people who work there are themselves passionate about health and wellbeing - which I think is support important. In terms of services, they have so much to offer here - both for physical health and for mental health. Even though West Eastern Health is listed on Google under Ketamine Therapy, they really have so much more than that. I actually came in for IV treatment to boost my immunity and focus. Although it’s hard to say for sure what the effect is after a single treatment, I feel that it is beneficial and I plan on going back on a semi-regular basis. I would love to bring my son here for a brain scan, which is another service they offer. In short, This location also has so much more to offer than a normal doctor’s office, from supplements and IV treatments to brain scans and mental health treatments and much more… if you are looking for a team that can help you to optimize your health, give this place a try."
"I can’t say enough good things about West Eastern Health and their incredible team. From the moment you walk in, you feel truly seen, heard, and cared for. They take the time to understand you as a whole person, not just your symptoms, and that makes all the difference. The therapies they offer have been genuinely life-changing for me. I’ve seen improvements not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. It’s rare to find a place that combines such a high level of expertise with such a compassionate, personalized approach. The entire team is professional, knowledgeable, and truly invested in helping you feel your best. I’m so grateful to have found them and would highly recommend West Eastern Health to anyone looking to take control of their health in a meaningful, lasting way."
"My daughter came here recently to get a brain scan done in search of answers. I was blown away by the friendliness and professionalism of both Dr. Piraino and Dr. Marchefka. It was a quick initial visit (about 40 min, 25 was active brain scanning) and then a half hour call to review results. The doctor then emailed me both an executive summary to explain overall findings, findings by frequency band, and the visual brain maps to help visualize what she was telling me during the review call. Will highly recommend to anyone trying to get a diagnosis and needing concrete evidence to bring to your doctor."
"West Eastern Health has been such a blessing to our family. We had the pleasure of working with both Jenny and Lauren. They are both incredibly caring, compassionate, and professionals. They supported my son with such patience and kindness, and we always felt like we were in capable, thoughtful hands. Each session was meaningful, and the level of holistic, whole-person care here truly sets them apart. I’m grateful for the way they combined expertise with genuine encouragement. Highly recommend West Eastern Health to anyone looking for integrated support for their mental, emotional, and physical well-being."
