Depression Treatment
Where Healing Begins
Depression can feel isolating, exhausting, and overwhelming - but effective, compassionate treatment is available. We provide personalized care through medication management, holistic psychiatry, and advanced options like Spravato®, in person in Texas and by telehealth for patients in New Mexico.
Our Philosophy
A Personalized Path Through Depression
Depression rarely looks the same from one person to the next, so we don't treat it that way. Before recommending a plan, our providers spend real time understanding your history, your symptoms, your sleep and energy patterns, and what a "good day" actually looks like for you.
From there, care might include psychiatric medication management, coordination with a therapist you're already seeing, lifestyle and nutrition-adjacent guidance, or - for depression that hasn't responded to standard treatment - Spravato® (esketamine). Patients in Georgetown and Waco can be seen in person; patients connecting with us from Albuquerque, NM are seen entirely through secure video visits.

What Is Depression?
Understanding Depression
Depression is more than feeling sad or going through a temporary emotional low. Clinical depression can impact mood, sleep, appetite, energy, motivation, and concentration, and it often builds gradually rather than arriving all at once.
Many of the patients we see - whether in our Texas offices or over telehealth from New Mexico - describe a slow fading of interest in things they used to enjoy, a heaviness that doesn't lift with rest, or a sense of going through the motions. Left unaddressed, depression tends to compound: it affects work, relationships, and physical health over time.
Who Should Seek Treatment?
Individuals experiencing any of the following may benefit from professional care:
- Persistent sadness or low mood
- Loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities
- Fatigue, low energy, or reduced motivation
- Sleep disturbances - insomnia or oversleeping
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Feelings of hopelessness, guilt, or worthlessness
- Appetite or weight changes
Conditions We Treat
Types of Depression We Treat
Depression shows up differently from person to person. Getting the diagnosis right shapes everything that follows in treatment.
Major Depressive Disorder
Persistent low mood and loss of interest lasting two weeks or longer, often affecting sleep, appetite, and concentration.
Persistent Depressive Disorder
A lower-grade but longer-lasting form of depression that can persist for years and is sometimes mistaken for "just how someone is."
Postpartum Depression
Mood changes following childbirth that go beyond typical adjustment and benefit from timely psychiatric support.
Seasonal Affective Patterns
Depressive episodes that tend to recur at certain times of year, often tied to reduced daylight exposure.
Treatment-Resistant Depression
Depression that hasn't improved with one or more standard antidepressant trials - a primary focus of our Spravato® program.
Depression With Anxiety
Many patients experience depression and anxiety together; treatment is adjusted to address both rather than one in isolation.
Why Professional Care Matters
Benefits of Professional Treatment
Accurate Diagnosis
Depression can overlap with anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, thyroid imbalances, and other medical concerns. A trained provider identifies underlying causes and creates an appropriate plan.
Individualized Care
No two cases of depression are the same. Treatment may include medication management, psychotherapy coordination, lifestyle interventions, or advanced options like Spravato® depending on severity.
Early Intervention
Professional care helps prevent worsening symptoms. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes, faster symptom relief, and reduced long-term complications.
Important
Consequences of Untreated Depression
Untreated depression can worsen over time and significantly impact quality of life. It may lead to chronic emotional distress, strained relationships, reduced work performance, and increased risk of physical health conditions such as cardiovascular disease and chronic pain.
The Risks Are Real
Severe or untreated depression can also increase the risk of substance use and social withdrawal. In more serious cases, depression may contribute to suicidal thoughts or behaviors.
If you're noticing these patterns in yourself or someone you love, waiting rarely makes it easier. Our team is available in Georgetown, Waco, and virtually for patients in Albuquerque, NM.
Common Questions
Depression Treatment FAQ
How soon can I be seen?
Most new patients are able to schedule an initial evaluation within one to two weeks, whether in Georgetown, Waco, or virtually from Albuquerque, NM.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is required. You can request an appointment directly, and we'll gather relevant history at your first visit.
Is medication always part of treatment?
Not necessarily. Some patients benefit most from medication management, others from a combination of medication and therapy coordination, and some primarily need monitoring and lifestyle support.
What if antidepressants haven't worked for me before?
Treatment-resistant depression is one of our focus areas, and options like Spravato® are available for patients who qualify after prior treatments haven't provided enough relief.
Can I be treated entirely online from Albuquerque?
Yes. Our Albuquerque location is a virtual-only office - appointments, follow-ups, and medication management are all conducted through secure telehealth visits.
