Depression Treatment for Santa Fe Patients
Depression is one of the most common reasons Santa Fe patients reach out — and one of the most treatable, especially with a root-cause approach. Willow & Stone treats first-time and long-standing depression, including treatment-resistant cases, for Santa Fe residents by secure telehealth with Dr. Stacey Forbes, DNP, PMHNP-BC.
Signs it may be time for help
- ✓Lasting low mood, sadness, or emptiness
- ✓Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
- ✓Fatigue, or sleeping too much or too little
- ✓Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- ✓Symptoms that haven’t responded to prior treatment
Our Treatment Approach
When depression hasn't fully responded to medication, missed contributors are often the reason. Dr. Forbes evaluates inflammation, nutrient status, hormones, and the gut-brain axis alongside conventional treatment. For Santa Fe patients with treatment-resistant depression, advanced options such as Spravato (esketamine) and ketamine are available (these require in-person dosing).
Why Telehealth Works for Santa Fe
Santa Fe's affluent, wellness-oriented community is a natural fit for integrative, functional psychiatry that treats the whole person rather than just a symptom list. Telehealth removes the biggest barriers to care — travel, time off work, and long waits — so Santa Fe residents can see Dr. Forbes from home. Research shows telepsychiatry is comparable to in-person care for evaluation, medication management, and follow-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can depression be treated with telehealth in Santa Fe?
Yes. Evaluation, medication management, and follow-up for depression are all effective by secure video for Santa Fe patients.
What if antidepressants haven't worked for me?
That's common. We do an integrative workup to find missed contributors and, when appropriate, offer treatment-resistant options like Spravato and ketamine.
Do you offer Spravato or ketamine near Santa Fe?
We provide the telehealth evaluation and planning; the medication itself requires supervised in-person dosing, which we coordinate.
