Our Specialized Depression Modalities
Depression in veterans often presents differently than in the civilian population. Our depression treatment for veterans focuses on rebuilding both the mental and biological foundations of wellness:
Cognitive Processing Therapy
Addressing the "stuck points" related to your service that contribute to a low mood and feelings of hopelessness.
Behavioral Activation
Re-establishing mission-oriented goals and social connections that provide a sense of daily purpose and value.
Biological Regulation
Leveraging Fernando's Sports Science specialization (UNIFESP) to improve neuroplasticity and dopamine regulation through movement and physiological tracking.
Integrated Psychiatry
Medication management that specifically targets the sleep disturbances and lethargy common in service-connected depression.
The Physiological Edge
We treat every veteran as a Tactical Athlete. Drawing from Fernando's background in Sports Science and his experience in the competitive soccer environment of Sao Paulo, we understand that depression isn't just a "feeling"—it's a state of physical exhaustion for the nervous system. Our treatment includes techniques to regulate cortisol and improve heart rate variability, giving your body the physical capacity to heal your mind.
