Depression Treatment in South Miami, FL
Comprehensive depression care — from NeuroStar® TMS therapy and integrative psychiatry to acupuncture and hormone optimization. Serving Miami, Coral Gables, Kendall, Pinecrest, and all of Miami-Dade County.
Depression Care That Goes Beyond Medication
Depression affects over 17 million Americans — yet many patients continue to suffer because standard antidepressants don't fully work or cause intolerable side effects. At Mind & Soul Therapy & Acupuncture in South Miami, Florida, we take a fundamentally different approach.
Led by Dr. Mariela Padro, MD, our board-certified psychiatrist, we combine NeuroStar® TMS therapy, integrative psychiatry, acupuncture, BHRT, and evidence-based counseling to identify and treat the root causes of depression — not just manage symptoms with a prescription.
We proudly serve patients in South Miami, Coral Gables, Kendall, Pinecrest, Coconut Grove, and all of Miami-Dade County — with telehealth depression treatment available statewide across Florida.
Depression Symptoms We Treat
Depression Symptom Self-Assessment
Check any symptoms you've been experiencing. Share your results with our team at your first visit.
This self-assessment is for educational purposes only and is not a medical diagnosis. Please consult with a qualified healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.
Our Depression Treatment Options
Integrative Psychiatric Evaluation
A thorough evaluation of your mental, hormonal, and metabolic health to identify the true root causes of your depression — not just surface symptoms.
NeuroStar® TMS Therapy
FDA-cleared TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) for treatment-resistant depression. Non-invasive, drug-free, and covered by most insurance plans.
Medication Management
When appropriate, evidence-based antidepressants are prescribed with precision — at the right dose, with careful monitoring for side effects.
BHRT for Depression
Hormonal imbalances in estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol are major — often missed — contributors to depression, especially in women over 35.
Acupuncture for Depression
Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture stimulates serotonin and endorphin release, complementing other depression treatments naturally.
Therapy & Counseling
Evidence-based psychotherapy (CBT, ACT, and more) to address the cognitive and emotional patterns that sustain depression.
TMS Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression
If antidepressants haven't worked — or have caused side effects you can't tolerate — NeuroStar® TMS therapy may be an option worth considering. TMS is FDA-cleared for Major Depressive Disorder and treatment-resistant depression, and may be appropriate for suitable patients who have not responded adequately to medication.
Sessions take about 19 minutes, five days a week for 6–8 weeks. You remain awake, can drive yourself home afterward, and can return to normal activities immediately.
