Understanding Mild and Major Depression

Depression, also called clinical depression, encompasses a variety of mood disorders that impact cognition, emotional well-being, and the ability to manage everyday responsibilities. Mild depression often involves intermittent low mood, fatigue, and sleep problems. More severe depression, including Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), can lead to a deep loss of interest in previously enjoyable activities, persistent feelings of sadness, and thoughts of self-harm.

If depression is left untreated, it can escalate and negatively affect health, relationships, and professional life. We understand that the decision to seek help is not always easy. Our compassionate and highly experienced team is ready to provide evidence-based treatment and support to help you regain stability, hope, and quality of life.

Learn About Our Depression Treatment Options

Psychotherapy (Talk Therapy)

Benefit from evidence-based psychological care such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other techniques that support your understanding of thought patterns, enhance coping abilities, and reduce the severity of depressive symptoms. Sessions are led by licensed therapists and structured around a treatment plan that is fully tailored to your unique circumstances.

Psychiatric Medication Management

Our licensed psychiatrists provide individualized medication options for depression, including SSRIs, SNRIs, and tricyclic antidepressants. Each management plan is designed around your specific health profile and personal mental health goals to deliver safe and effective support for emotional stability.

Apollo TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)

Apollo TMS offers a breakthrough, non-invasive option for patients who have not responded to conventional treatments such as talk therapy or medications. By stimulating brain regions linked to mood regulation, it can help reduce even severe depression symptoms and improve overall mental wellness.

Ketamine Therapy (Spravato®)

Spravato® is an FDA-approved intranasal ketamine therapy for adults whose depression has not improved with standard treatments. It can be used alone or in combination with oral antidepressants, providing rapid relief and supporting long-term recovery from treatment-resistant symptoms.

Neurofeedback

EEG biofeedback, or Neurofeedback, is a therapeutic approach that retrains brainwave activity to improve mood and emotional regulation. By observing real-time brain patterns, the therapy leverages neuroplasticity, helping the brain adapt and recover naturally.

Vielight Photobiomodulation (PBM)

Integrate Vielight PBM into your depression care to benefit from light-based cognitive stimulation. Its non-ionizing light improves brain function, enhances mental clarity, and supports systemic wellness when combined with other treatment methods.

BrainTap

BrainTap provides a multi-sensory approach to relaxation and stress management. Using the BrainTap Headset, it combines light therapy, auriculotherapy, rhythmic sounds, guided visualization, and 10-cycle holographic music to support mood regulation and complement traditional therapies.
