Medication Managment
Esketamine therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment for mental health conditions, particularly for those who have not responded to conventional therapies. At The Anxiety Center, we specialize in intranasal esketamine treatments, known for their rapid and effective results. Esketamine is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression and depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) with acute suicidal ideation or behavior. Our data shows a 72% response rate among our patients, highlighting the efficacy of our treatments. We have served thousands of patients with these specific indications, significantly improving their quality of life. Esketamine works by binding to receptors in the brain that increase the amount of a neurotransmitter called glutamate, triggering a cascade within the brain that affects mood, thought patterns, and cognition. Additionally, esketamine is thought to help regenerate synaptic connections between brain cells that are damaged by stress and depression​.

Treatment ProgramsOur center runs four separate programs. The first is our assessment program which conducts neuropsychological, psychoeducational, executive functioning, and autism evaluations. We focus on delivering accurate, timely, and accessible reports written for the family and directly linked to the child's or adult's intervention needs. Secondly, we have an anxiety program which treats the full range of anxiety and OC spectrum disorders. Treatment protocols in the anxiety clinic are heavily based on current research in exposure therapy, but include other cognitive behavioral strategies based on the individual needs of the patient. Thirdly, we have a mood disorders program which treats depressive disorders, bipolar spectrum disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, suicidality and self-harm. Treatment in our mood program focuses on core CBT, mindfulness-based treatment, and behavioral activation. The level of integration of each facet depends on the child's needs and response to treatment. Finally, our co-occurring behavior program will take on cases of oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, ADHD, and autism related agression and social skills development. This program is grounded in behavior analysis with moderate integration of cognitive techniques when indicated. While we do welcome all applicants, it will be important to consider if our approach to treatment is a good match for your interest and skill set. We value the contributions of all those in the mental health field, but one of our core values is to deliver treatment that is firmly established in scientific research. If this value is in aligment with the way that you approach treatment and you are willing to engage in harnassing your skills in empirical treatment, then we believe you may be an incredible asset to our team.
