- Depressed mood or loss of pleasure

Our Approach to Treating Depression
1 in 6 people will experience clinical depression in their lifetime. More than half of those will also experience anxiety.
Most patients will require an individualized, comprehensive treatment plan to achieve remission and recovery from their depression. Our approach will help you address all the factors that contribute to depression including:
- Brain and biological factors
- Stress-related contributors
- Co-existing medical illness
- Problem-solving and relationship skills
- Social support
- Lifestyle changes (including diet and exercise)
Our team of specialists will build a customized treatment plan based on the most current medical evidence. Depending on your medical history, current symptoms, and testing results, you and your care team will discuss all the options available that will best support your recovery.
It Can Happen to Anyone
The presenting symptoms of depression vary greatly from one person to another. One may sleep too much while another can't sleep at all, one person may be crying while the other wears a smile and pretends like nothing is wrong. Some people don't even feel sad or depressed, but rather have no interest or joy in life. Seeking help is the best course of action no matter where you fall on the spectrum of depression.
You may have heard that every brain contains a "reward circuit," but many people do not realize that we also have a "non-reward circuit" responsible for most mental health symptoms. Sometimes, the activity in the "non-reward circuit," can get stuck in a loop. The longer the loop goes on, the harder it becomes to "snap out of it." Once this process starts interfering with our ability to function, your brain and body become locked in clinical depression.

Anxious Depression
Coexisting Anxiety with Depression is more successfully treated when both are addressed rather than treating each alone. They are two sides of the same coin; if one is left untreated, the other soon follows.
Identifying Anxious Depression:
- Feeling tense and restless
- Difficulty concentrating
- Excessive worry/fear
- Loss of control

Our Services
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy is a safe and effective treatment that uses MRI strength pulses to treat the cause of mood disorders like depression. Unlike medication, which only treats symptoms, TMS Therapy strengthens the network in your brain that regulates your mood, and how you think, feel and act.
During outpatient, non-invasive sessions, TMS treatments encourage positive brain activity to reconnect these networks, helping to create long-term relief from depression and often other mood disorders.
TMS Therapy strengthens the salience network, which regulates your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. This network’s deficiency – or lack of communication between your neurotransmitters – often results in depression symptoms, as well as symptoms of other mood disorders.
Many patients see improvement in other symptoms besides depression, often finding benefit in their anxiety, sleep, and motivation.
A Computerized Neurocognitive Screening (CNS) is an assessment that tells us how well your brain is managing tasks, such as working memory, concentration, processing speed, and executive functioning. These results can provide insight into how you may perform in your daily life at work and at home, and help your provider identify levels of impairment. The overall duration takes about one hour to complete.
We know that behavioral health and physical health go hand-in-hand, and this assessment helps us see how they are impacting each other. The Brainview test is a cognitive assessment that provides information on your brain's functionality related to stress, memory, and cognition, while also tracking physical functions such as heart rate and metabolic rates. This test will help your provider develop a more informed treatment plan for you and better coordinate your overall care.
We also offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) group classes to help train patients to learn how to better manage their symptoms. The basis of CBT is that if we can change the way we think, we can change the way we feel & act. These classes are different from the typical group therapy session, as they are skill-based, and patients only share as much as they are comfortable sharing.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is psychotherapy treatment that helps patients curb anxious or depressive episodes. CBT allows individuals to better understand that their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all linked together.
Each session is designed to help you to examine the attitudes that play a role in how you might interpret various situations. By the end of each course, you should be able to correct automatic negative thoughts that lead you to struggle with depression, anxiety, fear, or hopelessness.
Medications are an important part of our comprehensive care plan and are often used alongside other treatments. Our providers will need to review what medications you have already taken, how effective those were and how well you tolerated them, and the impact of those medications on your overall health. They will also continually track your progress and side effects with medication trials for any necessary adjustments.
