Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) Therapy

We provide evidence-based, compassionate care for people experiencing major depressive disorder and other forms of clinical depression.

When Sadness Becomes Something More

Everyone feels down from time to time. But when that sadness becomes constant, overwhelming, or difficult to explain, it may be more than a passing mood. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is not simply feeling low—it’s a serious condition that can make everyday life feel exhausting, hopeless, or empty. For many, it starts subtly: irritability, fatigue, trouble sleeping, or focusing. Over time, it can grow into a deep and persistent loss of interest in life, feelings of worthlessness, and thoughts of death or dying.

The Many Faces of Depression

Depression doesn’t always look the same from person to person. You might cry often or feel emotionally numb. You might struggle to get out of bed or find yourself going through the motions with no joy or motivation. Some people experience physical symptoms, such as headaches or body pain. Others feel guilt, restlessness, or low self-worth.

Depression can also show up in different forms:

  • Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): The most common type, marked by intense sadness, loss of interest, and difficulty functioning.
  • Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia): A long-term, lower-grade form of depression lasting two years or more.
  • Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD): A hormone-related type of depression that occurs in the days leading up to menstruation.
  • Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): A depression pattern that aligns with seasonal changes, most often during winter months.

Each type carries its own challenges, but all are treatable with the right support.

How the Behavioral Wellness Clinic Can Help

At the Behavioral Wellness Clinic, we understand that depression can affect every part of your life. Our approach is grounded in empathy, backed by science, and shaped around your unique needs. We offer:

  • Proven therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation, and mindfulness-based therapies.
  • Support for co-occurring concerns, including anxiety, trauma, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
  • Medication consultation when needed, including referrals for new treatments such as ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
  • A personalized care plan, developed with you, not for you—because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Whether your symptoms are mild or severe, recent or long-standing, you’ll be met with respect, understanding, and a belief that things can improve.

Our Expertise in Depression Care

Our team has deep experience in treating both common and complex forms of depression. We recognize that symptoms may manifest differently based on age, gender, cultural background, and life experiences, and we take these factors into account when tailoring your care.

We also know that depression often walks hand-in-hand with anxiety or other conditions. Our clinicians are trained to identify and support these overlapping struggles, so you’re not left managing them in isolation.

And while some people benefit from talk therapy alone, others may require additional support. We offer support across a range of treatment options—including collaborative medication management and innovative tools like ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, for those who qualify and are interested.

We don’t just treat depression—we treat people. That means honoring your story, respecting your pace, and walking alongside you with consistency and care.

At the Behavioral Wellness Clinic, you’ll never be dismissed, minimized, or told to “just think positive.” Instead, you’ll find a team who understands the weight of depression—and who knows how to help lift it, one step at a time.
