Understanding Mild and Major Depression

Depression, sometimes called clinical depression, includes mood conditions that can change how you think, feel emotions, and move through everyday responsibilities. Mild depression may show up as periodic sadness, reduced drive, tiredness, or sleep changes, while more severe depression, such as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), can involve a deep loss of interest in activities and relationships, persistent sadness, and thoughts of self-harm.

Without treatment, symptoms can grow stronger and begin to affect physical health, relationships, and work life. We understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult at first. Our compassionate, skilled team offers evidence-based care to help you face these challenges with safety, structure, and steady guidance.

Learn About Our Depression Treatment Options

Psychotherapy (Talk Therapy)

Access evidence-based therapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other supportive methods that help you identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, build practical coping skills, and reduce depressive symptoms. Each session is guided by a licensed therapist and follows a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Psychiatric Medication Management

Our psychiatrists offer focused medication management for depression, prescribing treatments such as SSRIs, SNRIs, and tricyclic antidepressants based on your unique health history and needs. Each plan is thoughtfully developed to address your mental health concerns while supporting safe, steady, and effective mood stabilization.

Apollo TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)

Apollo TMS offers a modern, medication-free option for people whose depression has not responded well to talk therapy or antidepressants. Through non-invasive brain stimulation, this treatment targets mood-related neural pathways to support measurable relief from ongoing, stubborn symptoms.

Ketamine Therapy (Spravato®)

Spravato® is an FDA-approved intranasal ketamine treatment that can provide rapid symptom relief for adults living with treatment-resistant depression. It may be used in place of, or in combination with, oral antidepressants to offer a clinically supported route toward improved mood and daily functioning.

Neurofeedback

Also known as EEG biofeedback, Neurofeedback is a training approach that helps reshape brainwave patterns to support steadier emotions and improved self regulation. By giving real-time feedback on brain activity, it helps the brain adjust, repair, and reorganize through neuroplasticity, strengthening overall mental wellness.

Vielight Photobiomodulation (PBM)

Enhance your depression recovery with Vielight PBM, a non-invasive therapy that uses targeted light. Its non-ionizing light wavelengths are linked to better brain performance, sharper cognition, and broader systemic wellness, making it a supportive complement to more traditional care plans.

BrainTap

BrainTap blends technology with mindfulness-based practices to lower stress levels and encourage steadier mood regulation. The BrainTap Headset combines light therapy, auriculotherapy, rhythmic beats and tones, guided imagery, and holographic music cycles to create a multi-sensory approach that supports emotional wellness.
