Compassionate Depression Treatment Focused on the Root Cause

Healing is about more than just managing symptoms. It’s understanding your story.

At Origin Mental Wellness, we believe that depression is a deeply personal experience that reflects your journey, challenges, and the unique ways your body communicates distress.

We recognize that each person's story is different, and that’s why we focus on truly listening to you. Our approach is grounded in compassion, whole-person care, and a commitment to uncovering the root causes of your depression. You’re not a diagnosis. You’re a partner in your own healing journey.

Our Root Cause Approach to Treating Depression

Comprehensive Assessment

We start by genuinely listening to your story. We're here to explore the full picture—your history, lifestyle, stressors, and even the hidden aspects like your gut health and nutritional status. We focus on more than just symptom management; it's about finding the origin. Every part of your life is connected, and we’re committed to understanding how these connections affect your mental health. Together, we dig deep to uncover what’s really going on.

Functional Lab Testing

We go beyond the usual lab work to gain a true understanding of your health. Our functional lab testing dives into details, checking for nutrient deficiencies, thyroid imbalances, inflammation, and more. We explore what might be contributing to your symptoms, such as a vitamin D level that's lower than it should be or underlying inflammation affecting your mood. This comprehensive approach aims to provide answers, not just another prescription, allowing us to tailor your treatment to your body's true needs.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Your journey deserves a plan as unique as you are. We blend traditional therapies with holistic options like nutritional guidance, lifestyle changes, supplements, and, when necessary, medication. For some, it might mean focusing on rebuilding gut health through the "five R protocol," while for others, it could involve addressing deep-seated inflammation or hormone imbalances. We aim to empower you with choices, educating you on how each step can lead to long-term healing. This isn’t just about feeling better today—it’s about creating a pathway that leads to lasting wellness.

SPRAVATO® Therapy

For those who have struggled with treatment-resistant depression, we offer SPRAVATO® (esketamine) nasal spray as an innovative, FDA-approved option. Unlike traditional treatments, SPRAVATO® creates new pathways in the brain, offering a sense of hope when other methods have fallen short. We provide a supportive, nurturing environment for this treatment. You’ll be guided through the process, from the quiet, comfortable space designed for your sessions to personalized follow-up care, ensuring you feel safe, informed, and genuinely cared for.

We don’t just treat symptoms: we treat people.

Our integrative, lab-guided approach means we dig deeper to understand the real reasons behind your depression. Is it rooted in gut health imbalances, chronic inflammation, or nutritional deficiencies? We’ll uncover the answers together.

Unlike many traditional practices, we don’t just prescribe and send you on your way. We take the time to educate and partner with you, ensuring that every step feels like a journey toward true understanding and relief.
