Whole-Person Healing Beyond the Symptoms
Forget what you think you know about depression. It’s not a weakness or character flaw, and it certainly doesn’t define you.
Depression doesn’t discriminate. At Mind Body Optimization (MBO), we know that nearly 30% of Americans have now battled depression at some point, and almost 18% are wrestling with it right now.
We also know that depression is more than just a set of symptoms or feelings of sadness. It’s often a result of combined mental and physical factors that can leave you feeling isolated, hopeless, and drained of energy, impacting your relationships, work, and overall well-being.
Our knowledgeable and compassionate team is committed to empowering those struggling with depression to rebuild their sense of self, develop resilience, and lead a happy and fulfilling life.
We See You As a Whole Person, Not Just a Set of Symptoms
At MBO, we take a holistic approach to depression treatment. Our treatment and healing plans tend to the entire individual, including their mind, body, spirit, and emotions, during healing. The goal of holistic medicine is optimal, lasting health and wellness for the whole person.
By looking at depression through a holistic lens, we can treat more than just its symptoms. While MBO uses evidence-based practices to treat depression on every level, our interconnected treatment allows us to dig deep and address its root causes.
Integrative Treatment Methods
Treatment for depression is by no means a one-size-fits-all process. For treatment to be effective and truly comprehensive, it has to be personal.
When creating your custom treatment plan, we take the following into account:
- The severity and duration of depressive symptoms
- Pre-existing medical conditions or possible medical complications
- Co-occurring emotional, behavioral, or cognitive complications
- Your willingness and readiness to make changes
- The potential for your depression to worsen or experience a relapse in symptoms following treatment
- Your home environment
- Personal goals and desires for treatment
We offer innovative treatment modalities that truly meet you where you’re at. This way, we pave a path to wellness for individuals of all backgrounds, such as those who have undergone traditional treatment programs in the past without long-term success.

Holistic Wellness Opportunities to Complement Your Treatment Plan
At MBO, we understand the deep connection between the mind and body. We know that depression often affects you physically as well, causing symptoms like fatigue, aches, changes in appetite and sleep, and even a weakened immune system.
Since the brain and body are in constant communication, your depression treatment should focus on healing the whole person. Incorporating physical wellness into your treatment can enhance outcomes by up to 22%.
Some of our integrative wellness opportunities include:
Experiential Therapy
This is a hands-on therapy rooted in movement and creative expression. It includes activities like exercise, yoga, dance, art, and more.
Meditation/Mindfulness
Meditation allows you to become aware of your thoughts and feelings and how they affect you. Meditation can also provide relief from anxious or depressive symptoms.
Motivational Enhancement and Interviewing
This therapeutic technique is designed to help individuals find their personal motivational force to change.
Nutritional Support and Counseling (Coming Soon)
A healthy mind begins with a well-nourished body. Nutritional counseling gives you the tools to tend to yourself through diet.
Achieve Sustainable Health and Wellness With Our Dual Diagnosis Treatment Programs
At MBO, we recognize that depression often doesn’t exist in isolation – for instance, a staggering 32% of individuals with a mood disorder also struggle with substance use disorder (SUD).
We are committed to treating all your needs under one roof with our dual diagnosis treatment programs.
In addition to depression, we will help you heal from any co-occurring disorders, such as:
- Substance addictions, such as alcohol use disorder (AUD) or drug addiction
- Behavioral addictions, such as video game addiction or kleptomania
- Mental health conditions or struggles, such as anxiety, grief, or OCD
Outpatient Treatment On Your Terms
Acknowledging signs of depression is a courageous act in itself, and reaching out for necessary support is something to be immensely proud of. At MBO, we would hate for that initial step toward wellness to be blocked by a lack of accessibility or resources.
We’re here to help you create a path for healing that is uniquely on your own terms. Our soon-to-come outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) depression treatment programs will work within the confines of your schedule, enabling you to heal at your own pace.
Our experts include:
- Licensed therapists
- Psychiatrists
- Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners
- Nutritionists (coming soon)
We work collaboratively and compassionately guide you toward long-lasting healing and relief.
