🙋 FAQs

How do I know if I have depression or if I'm just tired/stressed?
If low mood, exhaustion, or loss of motivation persist for more than two weeks and affect your ability to function, it may be depression. We can help you figure it out.

Do you offer therapy?
We currently focus on psychiatric care and medication management. However, we often refer to trusted therapists and collaborate closely with your existing provider.

What if medication hasn’t worked for me before?
We understand that not every medication works the same way for everyone. We offer careful, stepwise treatment planning and are open to augmenting or changing medications as needed.
