Understanding Mild and Major Depression

Depression, sometimes labeled clinical depression, covers mood disorders that can affect how you interpret life, regulate emotions, and handle daily tasks. Mild depression may include brief periods of sadness, low drive, exhaustion, or sleep disruption, while severe depression, including Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), can involve persistent sadness, loss of interest in meaningful activities, reduced social connection, and thoughts of self-harm.

Without proper care, depression can escalate and disrupt physical well being, personal relationships, and work responsibilities. We understand that taking the first step for help can feel uncomfortable or overwhelming.

Learn About Our Depression Treatment Options

Psychotherapy (Talk Therapy)

Participate in evidence-based talk therapy options, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other structured strategies that support awareness of thought and behavior patterns, the creation of effective coping skills, and ongoing symptom management for depression. A licensed therapist leads each session while following a treatment plan individualized to your needs.

Psychiatric Medication Management

Ketamine Therapy (Spravato®)

Spravato® is an FDA-approved ketamine nasal spray for adults facing treatment-resistant depression, offering the potential for rapid relief from persistent symptoms.

Neurofeedback
