Our Treatment-Resistant Depression Clinics and Programs Services

Explore personalized, non-invasive treatment options for persistent depression and related mental health needs.

TRD Treatment

Comprehensive treatment-resistant depression care begins with a clinical evaluation and personalized plan for people whose symptoms persist after two or more antidepressant medications.

Deep TMS Depression

FDA-cleared BrainsWay Deep TMS uses magnetic stimulation to target mood-regulation circuits. Depression appointments take approximately 30 minutes and require no surgery, anesthesia, or recovery time.

BrainsWay Deep TMS

BrainsWay Deep TMS uses patented H-Coil technology to stimulate broader, deeper neural pathways than conventional rTMS while allowing patients to resume normal activities after each outpatient session.

Theta Burst Therapy

Theta Burst Stimulation delivers brief, targeted magnetic pulse bursts. For appropriate patients, it offers effectiveness comparable to traditional TMS with sessions lasting only a few minutes.

Swift Deep TMS

Swift Deep TMS is an accelerated protocol that provides multiple sessions over a shorter timeline. A comprehensive evaluation determines whether this schedule is clinically appropriate.

Neurofeedback Therapy

NeurOptimal neurofeedback provides real-time feedback that supports the brain’s natural self-regulation. It may complement broader wellness goals involving stress, sleep, focus, and emotional regulation.

Evidence-Based Options

A Personalized Path Beyond Depression

Persistent depression deserves careful, individualized attention. Our team reviews your treatment history, current symptoms, psychotherapy experience, medications, and goals before recommending an appropriate approach. Deep TMS is a non-invasive procedure that directly targets brain circuits associated with depression, while neurofeedback can support self-regulation and wellness. Care is delivered in an outpatient setting, and prescribed medications can generally remain stable throughout a TMS protocol under your prescriber’s guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some effective strategies for coping with treatment-resistant depression?

Coping with treatment-resistant depression often requires a coordinated plan rather than trying to manage symptoms alone. Keep regular appointments with your prescribing clinician and therapist, follow a consistent sleep and meal routine, limit alcohol or substances that can worsen mood, and involve trusted supports when possible. Track mood changes, energy, and side effects so your care team can make informed recommendations. If you have thoughts of self-harm, seek immediate crisis support or emergency care.
