Root Cause Resolution, Holistic Support, Renewed Well-being
Depression is far more than just feeling sad it’s a complex condition that affects every aspect of life. When standard approaches provide incomplete relief or unwanted side effects, our integrative depression care offers a different path one that looks beyond symptoms to identify and address the underlying factors contributing to your mental health challenges.

In our Centennial wellness center, you’ll find a judgment-free environment where your experiences are validated and your care is personalized, creating a comprehensive approach that supports not just symptom management but true healing and renewed quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can functional medicine help with depression?
Many cases of depression have biological contributors that respond well to our approach. By addressing factors like nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and inflammation, many clients experience significant improvement in mood, energy, and overall well-being.
Will I need to stop my current depression medication?
Not necessarily. Our approach can complement conventional treatment. Any medication changes should be discussed with your prescribing physician, and we’re happy to communicate with your other providers.
How long might it take to see improvement?
Many clients notice initial improvements in energy and sleep within 4-6 weeks, with mood changes often following. More substantial shifts typically develop over 3-6 months of consistent implementation.
How is your approach different from traditional therapy?
While talk therapy addresses thought patterns and emotional processing, our functional medicine approach focuses on the biological foundations that influence mood and mental health. We look for physical imbalances in hormones, nutrients, inflammation, and gut health that can directly affect brain function and neurotransmitter activity. Many clients find that combining our approach with traditional therapy provides the most comprehensive support.
