A Measurable, Flexible Plan for Major Depression
Depression is treatable. We combine psychotherapy, psychiatric care, and lifestyle strategies into a plan tailored to your goals. You’ll leave visit one with practical tools and a written roadmap. We track PHQ-9 (and GAD-7 if anxiety co-occurs) plus functional goals (sleep, routines, school/work), and we adjust quickly if progress stalls.
