Mental Health Treatments
Some patients respond well to medication treatment. Others require a combination of psychotherapy and medication. We will discuss all the options and help you find what works best. For patients who don’t find adequate relief from medications and other treatments, we are the only provider in Saratoga Springs offering transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This non-invasive option is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression and can also help relieve symptoms of other conditions.

Anxiety
Anxiety is the most common mental health condition, affecting more than 42 million adults in the U.S. and more than 300 million people globally. Anxiety is a group of disorders, including phobias, panic disorder, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety. Common symptoms include excessive worry, feelings of nervousness and fear, and difficulty sleeping.
Depression
Depression is among the most common mental illnesses, with hundreds of millions of people living with it worldwide. If you struggle with depression, which is marked by feelings of persistent sadness, low self-worth, emptiness, and fatigue, you are not alone. We help our patients find their way out of the darkness and back into the light.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder impacts approximately 40 million across the globe and more than three million adults in the U.S. Often called “manic depression,” bipolar disorder is characterized by a combination of highs and lows. During manic phases, you might feel energetic, have racing thoughts, need less sleep, and feel euphoric. Depressive episodes are characterized by loss of interest in activities, prolonged feelings of sadness and emptiness, and a loss of energy.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Traumatic events, including scary or shocking situations, can trigger your fight or flight response, a natural reaction that is designed to protect you. For some people, those symptoms linger and can recur, creating severe, lasting symptoms. Common signs of PTSD include flashbacks of the event, nightmares, and persistent, scary thoughts.
