Forms of depression we treat
Major depressive episodes
Persistent low mood, loss of interest, and change in sleep, appetite, or energy.
Recurrent depression
Repeat episodes where relapse prevention matters as much as symptom relief.
High-functioning depression
Professionals still performing at work while flat, exhausted, and joyless underneath.
Depression with anxiety
The common overlap, where treating one and ignoring the other stalls progress.
Postpartum and perinatal mood
Mood change during pregnancy or after birth, treated with care about lactation and safety.
Treatment-resistant depression
Two or more medications tried without adequate response — where accelerated TMS is worth discussing.
How depression treatment works here
- 1
A thorough evaluation first
An 85-minute intake that maps mood, sleep, focus, relationships, medical contributors, and treatment history before anything is prescribed.
- 2
Therapy that does real work
Weekly 50-minute sessions — cognitive, behavioral activation, and insight-oriented work matched to your patterns rather than a manual.
- 3
Medication chosen deliberately
If medication is indicated, we explain the reasoning and trade-offs and define how we will judge whether it is helping.
- 4
Interventional care when needed
For depression that has not responded to standard treatment, we offer an FDA-cleared accelerated TMS course delivered over one week.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I need a depression therapist?+
If low mood, loss of interest, sleep or appetite change, or hopelessness has lasted more than two weeks and is affecting work, school, or relationships, it is worth an evaluation. You do not need to be in crisis to start therapy.
Is therapy or medication better for depression?+
For mild to moderate depression, therapy alone is often enough. For moderate to severe or recurrent depression, the combination usually outperforms either alone. Because we provide 50-minute therapy and expert psychopharmacological care in one practice, we can start with what fits and adjust without a referral out.
How long before depression treatment helps?+
Many patients notice sleep and energy shifting within a few weeks, with mood following. We measure progress openly rather than asking you to wait indefinitely, and we change course when something is not working.
What if antidepressants have not worked for me?+
That is common and treatable. We review what has actually been tried, at what dose, and for how long — then consider next steps, including an FDA-cleared accelerated TMS course delivered over one week for treatment-resistant depression.
Do you see teenagers for depression?+
We see adolescents 16+ and adults. Adolescent depression on the Main Line often shows up as irritability, academic slide, and withdrawal rather than sadness, and we involve parents thoughtfully while protecting the teen's therapeutic space.
Do you offer virtual depression therapy?+
Yes — virtually throughout Pennsylvania, and across greater New York State with Dr. Khorram, who is licensed in New York.
