Understanding Our Core Services
Esketamine Nasal Spray for Depression
For those who have experienced an unsatisfactory response to traditional antidepressants, or find them intolerable, Esketamine nasal spray offers an innovative pathway to relief. Derived from ketamine, this is the first and only FDA-approved treatment for depression that targets the glutamate system. Unlike oral antidepressants, Esketamine increases the brain’s most prevalent chemical messenger, glutamate levels, thereby creating new connections in the brain to rapidly improve symptoms. This results in a greater reach and more substantial impact on brain cells with a single dose compared to antidepressants. It’s a carefully administered option for individuals seeking a fresh approach to alleviating severe depression symptoms.
Solution-Oriented Psychotherapy
Understanding your mental health condition and developing effective coping strategies are vital components of lasting wellness. Our psychotherapy services focus on empowering you with effective coping strategies and personal growth tools. Through supportive and therapeutic activities, we help you gain a deeper understanding of your disorders and cultivate healthier ways of thinking and being, increasing the overall effectiveness of your treatment.
Holistic Therapies
True wellness is not just the absence of illness but the presence of balance across physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Our holistic therapies integrate evidence-based and complementary approaches such as mindfulness, nutritional coaching, vitamins/supplements, sleep and lifestyle guidance to support your entire being. Whether you are managing chronic stress, recovering from depression, or seeking greater mind-body harmony, our therapies are designed to align with and enhance your core treatment plan.
Mental Health Medication Management
For some, medication can be a valuable part of their healing process. Our experienced psychiatric team thoughtfully prescribes and carefully monitors mental health medications when appropriate. We work closely with you to ensure your medication plan is aligned with your needs and goals, providing ongoing support and adjustments as you progress. This evidence-based service is tailored to complement your overall treatment strategy.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
If you’ve found that traditional antidepressants haven’t brought you the relief you deserve, or if you’re struggling with uncomfortable side effects from medications, TMS therapy might be a gentle yet powerful alternative. This FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment uses magnetic fields to gently stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. Unlike some medications, TMS has very few side effects, making it a well-tolerated option for many seeking to improve their mood and well-being. It’s a beacon of hope for those who have felt stuck on their treatment journey, offering positive and long-term results.
