Understanding Mild and Major Depression

Also recognized as clinical depression, depression includes multiple mood disorders that affect how you think, how you feel emotionally, and how you cope with everyday demands. Mild depression can involve temporary sadness, low motivation, or difficulty getting restful sleep. Severe depression, including Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), may lead to loss of interest in favorite activities, ongoing sadness, and suicidal ideation.

If these symptoms go untreated, they can deepen over time, disrupting your health, your closest relationships, and your performance at work or in school. Our compassionate and knowledgeable team understands the courage it takes to reach out and is here to support you as you work toward recovery, strength, and improved well-being.

Learn About Our Depression Treatment Options

Psychotherapy (Talk Therapy)

Using evidence-based models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), our therapists help you examine patterns that keep you feeling stuck and guide you in learning new coping skills for daily life. Every course of therapy follows a customized plan that is designed around your goals, preferences, and progress.

Psychiatric Medication Management

Our team of psychiatrists can integrate antidepressant treatment, including SSRIs, SNRIs, and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), into your overall care when needed. Your medication strategy is individualized, regularly evaluated, and adjusted to support symptom reduction while maintaining safety and comfort.

Apollo TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)

For patients who have tried multiple treatments without success, Apollo TMS introduces a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that does not rely on medication. The therapy targets specific brain areas that influence mood and can offer relief for treatment-resistant depression.

Ketamine Therapy (Spravato®)

Spravato® is a prescription intranasal ketamine therapy approved by the FDA for adults with treatment-resistant depression, expanding options beyond oral antidepressants alone. It often provides rapid symptom changes, allowing patients to regain emotional control and enjoy a higher quality of life.

Neurofeedback

Also called EEG biofeedback, this form of therapy gives your brain the information it needs to adjust its own activity for more stable mood control. Using real-time readings, neurofeedback engages neuroplastic processes that can enhance focus, calmness, and emotional regulation.

Vielight Photobiomodulation (PBM)

Vielight PBM provides light-based stimulation that works in tandem with other therapeutic approaches for depression. The non-ionizing light supports brain metabolism, improves cognitive functioning, and contributes to overall systemic health and well-being.

BrainTap

BrainTap integrates multiple sensory therapies to help regulate stress responses and reinforce emotional wellness. The headset delivers rhythmic light frequencies, auriculotherapy signals, guided audio tones, visualization cues, and 10-cycle holographic music to promote mental harmony and emotional steadiness.
