The conditions
Six conditions, each treated on its own terms.
There is no single protocol here. We match the modalities to the condition, your diagnosis, and what you have already tried, then adjust as you respond. Select a condition to see how we treat it.
Major Depression & TRD
MDD & Treatment-Resistant Depression
Major depressive disorder is more than a low mood. It brings a sustained loss of interest in things that used to matter, along with changes in sleep and appetite, trouble concentrating, and a heavy fatigue that does not lift with rest. For most people the first line is a combination of antidepressant medication and therapy, and for many that is enough. Treatment-resistant depression is what we call it when two or more medication trials have failed to produce real relief. That is often when people start looking at interventional options. We use TMS, FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder, to stimulate brain regions involved in mood, ketamine, used off-label, which may offer rapid relief for some patients, and medication management to keep the foundation steady. Hard-sided HBOT, used off-label, may be added in some cases. Every plan is built on your history, not a template.

Anxiety Disorders
GAD, Panic, Social Anxiety, Phobias
Anxiety disorders are persistent fear and worry that does not switch off when the situation is over. They include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias, and they often show up in the body as a racing heart, muscle tension, broken sleep, and trouble focusing. The drivers are rarely one thing. Brain chemistry, past trauma, chronic stress, and genetics all play a part, which is why a single medication often falls short. At Mind Spa we treat both the biology and the patterns that keep anxiety running. TMS, used off-label for anxiety, targets brain regions involved in mood and threat regulation, ketamine, used off-label for anxiety, may offer rapid relief for some patients with severe symptoms, and trauma-informed therapy works on the response over time. Medication management ties it together. The goal is not to numb you. It is to help you regain a sense of control.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD
PTSD is the nervous system staying locked in a threat response long after the danger has passed. It shows up as intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and a sense of detachment from the people you love. The standard first-line treatments are cognitive behavioral therapy and prolonged exposure, and they help many people. They do not help everyone, and many people experience trauma in the body as well as in their thoughts. Mind Spa treats PTSD with a layered, somatic approach designed to work with the nervous system on more than one front at once. Ketamine, used off-label for PTSD, is studied for its potential to help some patients engage in trauma-focused therapy, TMS, used off-label for PTSD, may support mood symptoms, HBOT, used off-label, is studied for the physical effects of trauma and blast exposure, and trauma-informed therapy does the reprocessing work. This is the model we built for veterans and first responders, and it is open to anyone carrying trauma.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
OCD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a loop. Intrusive, unwanted thoughts create intense anxiety, and compulsions, the rituals, checking, counting, cleaning, or arranging, are the attempts to quiet that anxiety for a moment. The relief never lasts, so the loop tightens. Common obsessions range from fears of contamination and harm to an overwhelming need for symmetry and order. Standard care leans on therapy and medication, and exposure and response prevention is the therapy with the strongest track record. For OCD that does not respond, there is a device-based option. Mind Spa's Apollo TMS Therapy System is FDA-cleared for OCD and targets brain regions involved in the obsessive-compulsive cycle. We pair it with focused therapy and medication management so the loop is addressed from more than one direction.

Traumatic Brain Injury
TBI
Traumatic brain injury results from a sudden external force to the head, and it ranges from a mild concussion to a severe, life-altering injury. The damage is not only the initial impact. TBI sets off a secondary cascade of inflammation, chemical changes, blood vessel damage, and reduced oxygen flow to brain tissue, and that cascade is what drives the long tail of symptoms. People live with persistent headaches, brain fog, memory and concentration problems, mood changes, and disrupted sleep, sometimes for years. Rest and rehabilitation are the standard of care, and they are necessary. Some patients continue to have symptoms afterward. Hard-sided hyperbaric oxygen therapy and ketamine are used off-label for TBI. Research is studying both for their effects on post-injury inflammation. Individual results vary. For the veterans and blast-exposed patients we see, these options are used alongside standard rehabilitation, not instead of it.

Acute Stress & Adjustment
Acute Stress Disorder
Acute stress disorder develops in the first month after a traumatic event, and it is the body's alarm system stuck in the on position. Symptoms fall into five groups: intrusive memories and flashbacks, a flattened or negative mood, dissociation and a sense of unreality, avoidance of anything that recalls the event, and heightened arousal such as poor sleep, irritability, and an exaggerated startle response. In some people, acute stress disorder can develop into PTSD. That is why the weeks right after trauma matter. We treat it with trauma-informed therapy and exposure work, stress management, short-term medication where it helps, and, in select cases, ketamine used off-label, which may ease severe symptoms for some patients. Early care may help lower the risk that acute stress symptoms persist.
