Dr. Andrew Norman, DO

Listening forms the foundation of Dr. Norman's practice. He invites patients to share their experiences in their own words, exploring what brought them in and what circumstances led them to seek help. He takes time to understand their life story and background, believing that context matters deeply in mental health care. Collaboration guides every treatment decision.

Dr. Norman presents options he believes will be beneficial while thoroughly explaining both the potential benefits and risks. He shares information openly, helping patients understand treatments like TMS by drawing on real examples from his own clinical experience. He views treatment as a shared journey, with himself as a guide walking alongside patients rather than dictating their path. His philosophy is grounded in hope and possibility.

Dr. Norman genuinely believes in the treatments Serenity offers and has witnessed firsthand the transformative impact they can have. He works to convey this hope to patients, helping them see that there are real, effective options available to help them reclaim their lives.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Norman is devoted to his family. He and his wife have four children who keep their lives full and joyful. Family time is sacred in the Norman household, with intentional traditions that anchor their weeks. On the weekends when they're free from other commitments, the family gathers for game or movie nights. These consistent rituals create space for connection and fun amidst busy schedules.

Dr. Norman is an enthusiastic reader, though he admits time is limited with four kids. He's adapted by embracing audiobooks, allowing him to continue enjoying literature while managing family and professional responsibilities. He's also a passionate sports fan who played sports throughout his youth. As a proud Arkansas native, he's a devoted Razorbacks fan and loves the college football season.

Dr. Norman's greatest hope is that patients feel truly heard and supported from their very first visit. He understands that opening up about mental health struggles is vulnerable work, and he approaches each conversation with respect for the courage it takes to be present. Patients can expect a provider who listens more than he talks, who values their input in treatment decisions, and who genuinely believes in their capacity for healing.

Dr. Norman brings both clinical expertise and real hope, grounded in the positive outcomes he's witnessed throughout his career. His collaborative approach ensures that treatment plans reflect not just clinical best practices, but also each patient's unique needs, concerns, and goals.
