Types of Depression We Treat
Depression exists on a spectrum. Our psychiatrists treat Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Persistent Depressive Disorder (dysthymia), Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Postpartum Depression, and Treatment-Resistant Depression. For treatment-resistant cases, we offer Spravato (esketamine) — an FDA-approved breakthrough therapy.
Treatment That Works
Our integrated approach combines medication management with psychotherapy. We use SSRIs, SNRIs, atypical antidepressants, and Spravato for treatment-resistant cases. Therapists complement medication with CBT, interpersonal therapy, and behavioral activation.
