New hope for your treatment-resistant depression
TMS Therapy | Ketamine Therapy
Get help for your treatment-resistant depression. Now.
Our doctors and therapists understand the anguish of mental illness. Since 1994, we have provided effective pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic treatment for major depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), childhood trauma and neglect, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), geriatric depression, generalized anxiety and panic disorders.
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is our specialty. If you have sought help for depression but have not made progress with standard interventions, such as antidepressants, we have proven alternatives. Our clinicians treat individuals who do not respond to traditional medications.
Let’s work together.
The only area practice to offer both TMS and Ketamine
If your mental health symptoms are not getting better with medication, you may have treatment-resistant depression (TRD), also known as drug-resistant depression.
We may be able to help.
We provide two state-of-the-art therapies focused exclusively on treatment-resistant depression (TRD): Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Ketamine.
In fact, we are the only psychiatric practice in Bergen County, New Jersey, to offer both NeuroStar TMS and SPRAVATO™ S-Ketamine nasal spray.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
TMS is an FDA-approved outpatient therapy. It is non-invasive (no sedation, incision, or IV) and has none of the side effects of antidepressants.
The TMS treatments are administered here in our office. You recline comfortably in a specially designed chair while a magnetic coil delivers short pulses that stimulate your cerebral cortex. By affecting neurotransmission in specific brain regions, these pulses can have a positive effect on your mood.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation has helped thousands of people with treatment-resistant depression.
Ketamine Nasal Spray Therapy
Ketamine is an FDA-approved prescription nasal spray. It is used in combination with an oral antidepressant. The brand of Ketamine we use is called SPRAVATO™ — in fact, we are a certified SPRAVATO™ treatment center.
You can administer Ketamine to yourself right here in our office, under our supervision. The Ketamine therapy regimen is typically twice a week for a month, then once a week for another month, then once every one or two weeks.
In clinical trials, adults with Major Depression who had not responded to conventional antidepressants experienced a significant reduction in their symptoms with SPRAVATO™ after just four weeks.
