Expert Information You Can Trust
Depression MD specializes in treating depression with a focus on treatment resistant depression. We provide the following services to adults and are currently accepting patients for all services
Initial Diagnostic Consultation
We offer a comprehensive diagnostic consultation with specific and individualized treatment recommendations. This initial consult does not establish care with us and can be used to supplement your care with your existing care team. They can continue to collaborate with our physicians for ongoing expert consultation.
Medication Management
Should you choose us as your provider, we monitor the effectiveness of your medication regimen over a course of time to determine if the treatment meets your goals. Since every individual is unique, the effectiveness of the medications may vary from person to person.
Psychotherapy and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, in addition to medication, has an excellent track record of helping people manage depression. We primarily offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). KAP is most effective for depression, PTSD, questions on the meaning and purpose of life, end of life issues, self-esteem deficits, and is used in an integrated therapeutic model.
Spravato™ & IV Ketamine
Spravato™ and IV Ketamine are used to treat patients with treatment resistant depression. IV Ketamine and Spravato are administered within our offices where you will be monitored by a psychiatrist and other medical professionals over the course for 90 to 120 minutes.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
TMS, a FDA approved treatment for depression, is a noninvasive form of brain stimulation in which a targeted pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in an MRI machine, stimulates areas of the brain that are underactive in depression.
Mindfulness for Depression, Trauma and Anxiety
Meditation and mindfulness are processes that have evidence based positive outcomes to target depression and anxiety. In our eight week course you will learn the tools to the art of being present without judgement. We will introduce or help deepen meditative practices as tools for targeting stress and anxiety.

Our diverse backgrounds align and focus on treating you.

Everyone at the office is AWESOME!!!!. They treat you like family and make you feel comfortable and provide excellent care. They also work with you to help you and make sure you and your mental health come first before all else…Even the anxiety classes and all other programs and resources they offer to help people in need is perfect. I can honestly say unlike many other offices they really put patients first…They break down any questions about medications you may be starting and you never have to second guess….I would highly recommend this office to anyone!

I have been to a few doctors and this atmosphere is private, comfortable and you don’t feel rushed. It’s always a process and you have to trust it. They will get you to a better space if you do the work and trust the process. Just like everything you have your good and bad days there is no magic pill but here is a good start.

15 Minutes Is Not Enough
When patients taIk about past treatments, I often hear, “I don’t know what the doctor said or did, I just know I walked out 15 minutes later with a new med.” Depression M D takes the exact opposite approach. – Dr. Lisa Harding MD
15 minutes may be all it takes to save money on your car insurance. It’s nowhere near what it takes to get to know a patient.
Depression MD takes time to get to know you, and develop a true diagnosis. We don’t let insurance dictate your time. The diagnosis is the foundation of a patient’s treatment plan. Some things should never be rushed.
Depression MD talks to all of your doctors…
yes, all of them.
Treatment plans are developed
after talking to your doctors.
From your primary caregiver
to your rheumatologist, we listen to
it all and then develop the best
plan to treat you.
The concept of health intervention
is a serious one. It is the approach
Depression MD uses to bring patients
to successful recoveries.
Dr. Lisa Harding…TRUE PASSION. REAL. THE BEST!!!
Dr. Harding is a genuinely caring person!!! She is by far the best Doctor I have seen on SO many levels! This wonderful woman has a TRUE love and passion for what she does and believes in. Dr. Harding has gone out of her way, above and beyond to show me how much she cares! She is a real down to earth person, easy to talk to and LISTENS. I was afraid to see a new resident when she started because of all my past experiences, but she has been the biggest blessing to walk into my life when I needed it the most! I will forever be grateful for her and the beautiful soul that she has I would and WILL always recommend Dr. Harding to ANYONE

The Place To Be When You Have Depression
Depression is our niche. We focus our energy on understanding your experience as well as staying on the cutting edge of depression research. This allows us to customize treatment unique to your wellness
Depression
Depression is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable.
Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at work and at home.
Treatment Resistant Depression
Treatment Resistant Depression is a condition that affects people with major depressive disorder (MDD) who do not respond adequately to a course of medication within a certain time.
Many clinicians consider a response inadequate if the person does not achieve full remission of symptoms. The most common definition for MDD requires a minimum of two prior treatment failures.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and can alert us to dangers and help us prepare and pay attention. Anxiety disorders differ from normal feelings and involve excessive fear.
Anxiety disorders affect nearly 30 percent of adults at some point in their lives. But anxiety disorders are treatable and treatment helps most people lead normal productive and successful lives.
