HOLISTIC MENTAL HEALTH
way ,” he explained . With painless magnetic pulses , patients often experience improvements that other forms of treatment weren ’ t providing .
“ For patients that are resistant to medications and haven ’ t been doing well on those medications , TMS can be incredibly helpful ,” he elaborated . Although TMS can act as an alternative to medicines or other therapies , Dr . Uribe ’ s patients often use medications in conjunction with the treatment . “ Medications are still necessary in many cases , but it ’ s nice for my patients to be able to try something different to address their challenges .”
First exposed to the power of TMS during his residency in 2014 , Dr . Uribe learned very quickly just how much it improved people ’ s daily activity , social activity , and occupational activity . “ The way it helped people function better in those areas made it really stand out for me , and I knew it was something I ’ d want to be able to offer my future patients ,” he shared .
FUTURE FOCUS : REACHING MORE PATIENTS
In the last year , Dr . Uribe purchased the building he runs his practice out of , but his plans for expansion aren ’ t slowing down anytime soon . By expanding to other areas of the city and opening up more telehealth channels , the team at Bumblebee Behavioral Health can continue helping residents of El Paso on a larger scale .
“ There are so many underserved areas in this region . It can be hard for patients to find healthcare for their physical bodies , let alone mental healthcare ,” Dr . Uribe said . Growing up in El Paso himself , he knows firsthand just how difficult it can be to get the care you need . Additionally , with a large Spanish-speaking population in the area , Dr . Uribe is able to further break down barriers for his patients by offering support in Spanish and English .
“ I was born in Latin America , so Spanish is my first language ,” he said . “ Being able to help someone through mental health challenges in their native language is so important because it can be hard to share emotions or deep thoughts in a second language .”
Eventually , Dr . Uribe hopes to expand his offerings , taking advantage of his own Sleep Medicine Board certification . “ I want to do sleep studies and implement sleep medicine for my patients .” Sleep apnea and other sleep disorders run rampant in El Paso , but there aren ’ t enough specialists to address the needs of every resident .
FINDING IDENTITY IN HIS PRACTICE
As a provider with a recent immigrant background , Dr . Uribe believes that his ability to understand where his patients are coming from is his superpower . Experiencing the challenges of moving to another country , starting a new life , and finding community at a young age equipped him with empathy , compassion , and perspective that many other psychiatrists in the area are missing . It ’ s this perspective that makes him uniquely qualified to serve the people of El Paso — more than any amount of education , training , or board certifications ever could .
