Our Expertise
A Different Approach to Depression
We do not just try another medication and hope. We systematically evaluate why previous treatments failed and build a comprehensive plan.
Comprehensive Assessment
We evaluate medication history, therapy attempts, medical factors, and co-occurring conditions that may be complicating your depression.
Medication Optimization
When standard antidepressants have failed, we explore augmentation strategies, alternative medications, and emerging treatment options.
Therapy Integration
Evidence-based psychotherapy including CBT, DBT, and behavioral activation work alongside medication for comprehensive treatment.
What We Treat
Types of Depression We Specialize In
Depression is not one-size-fits-all. Different presentations require different treatment strategies.
Major Depressive Disorder
Persistent sadness, loss of interest, and functional impairment lasting weeks or months. We address both acute episodes and recurrent patterns.
Treatment-Resistant Depression
When two or more antidepressants have failed to provide relief. Our expertise lies in cases others have given up on.
Depression with Co-occurring Conditions
Depression alongside anxiety, trauma, substance use, or other mental health conditions requires integrated, simultaneous treatment.
Persistent Depressive Disorder
Chronic, low-grade depression lasting years. Often overlooked because it becomes "normal," but it steals quality of life.
