  • Medications: If therapy alone is not sufficient, medications can help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. We will prescribe the appropriate medications and monitor their effectiveness over time.

  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): TMS is a noninvasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain cells involved in mood regulation.
