Viking Psychiatry Named Best Mental Health Clinic in Northeast Indiana of 2025

A Journey of Resilience and Innovation

NATIONWIDE - SEPTEMBER 2025 - (USAnews.com) — When Sean Goddard founded Viking Psychiatry, he envisioned more than a clinic; he wanted to create a place where patients felt both cared for and understood. His personal story of adoption and resilience shaped that vision, inspiring a practice rooted in belonging and compassion. This foundation also led him to author Blushbottoms: The Belonging Bear, a children’s book that carries the same message at the heart of his work: everyone deserves to know they are enough.

That message has become the soul of Viking Psychiatry, guiding its rise as a pioneer in modern mental health treatment across Northeast Indiana.

Transforming Mental Health with Advanced Treatments

Viking Psychiatry stands apart for offering therapies rarely available elsewhere in the region. Its services include Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Spravato, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), and multiple ketamine treatment modalities, IV, IM, oral, and intranasal. These treatments have proven effective for patients who found little relief in traditional methods, particularly those managing depression, trauma, and chronic anxiety.

By integrating psychotherapy with advanced medical approaches, the clinic helps patients access not only symptom relief but also deeper emotional insights that drive long-term healing.

Award Recognition: Best Mental Health Clinic of 2025

In September 2025, Viking Psychiatry was honored as the Best Mental Health Clinic in Northeast Indiana by Best of Best Reviews. This recognition underscores the clinic’s role as a leader in combining science-driven innovation with a human-centered approach to psychiatry.

The award highlights Viking’s commitment to providing transformative care while maintaining a culture where patients feel safe, valued, and supported.

A Culture of Compassion and Community

Despite its cutting-edge therapies, what clients often remember most about Viking Psychiatry is its atmosphere of warmth. From the therapy dogs, Bjorn and Loki, to staff members who greet patients by name, every detail reflects an emphasis on genuine connection.

One client noted, “Mental health care can feel cold and clinical, but Viking is different. From day one, I felt welcomed and respected. It’s more than treatment, it’s belonging.”

Leadership in Education and Advocacy

Sean Goddard’s influence extends beyond the clinic’s walls. A nationally recognized speaker and educator, he has shared expertise on topics such as neuroplasticity, TMS, and ketamine therapy. His training in psychedelic-assisted therapies, including psilocybin, MDMA, and 5-MeO-DMT, places Viking Psychiatry at the forefront of emerging psychiatric practices.

Through this dual role as practitioner and advocate, Sean advances both patient care and broader awareness of innovative mental health treatments.

Client Stories: Hope Restored

The impact of Viking Psychiatry is best illustrated by its patients. One individual shared, “After years of failed treatments, I finally found hope here. TMS and ketamine therapy changed my life, I laugh again, I enjoy my family, and I finally feel like myself.”

Another patient echoed the same sense of belonging: “Every visit felt personal. The staff remembered me, and the atmosphere put me at ease. Viking is more than a clinic, it’s a place where healing feels possible.”

A Model for the Future of Mental Health

Viking Psychiatry’s recognition as the Best Mental Health Clinic in Northeast Indiana of 2025 affirms its mission: to make mental health care both effective and deeply human. By combining state-of-the-art therapies with compassion and community, Viking Psychiatry offers a model for what modern psychiatry can and should be.
