Depression doesn’t look the same for everyone. It can show up as exhaustion, irritability, withdrawal, or feeling numb rather than sad.*

When Stacy began NeuroStar TMS, depression had left her drained, disconnected, and unsure if anything could help. But as treatment progressed, she started feeling better, first in small ways, then in life-changing ones.

Her energy returned. She became more present with friends and family. Her creativity resurfaced, and she even began working with her provider to safely reduce her antidepressant dosage. Today, Stacy feels happier, more engaged, and excited about her future again.

Her journey is a reminder that hope and healing are possible.

If you’re exploring what comes next, NeuroStar may help. Schedule a consultation to learn more.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not yourself?

Ardent Counseling Center is now welcoming new clients at our Rockford location. Let me explain why that matters. Getting help should not come with long waits or complicated hoops to jump through. Our team offers counseling and medication management for children, teens, and adults. Appointments are usually available within a few days of paperwork completion.

Honestly, the right support can make things feel a little lighter. Our Rockford clinicians specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, school and work stress, and many of the everyday struggles people in this area are facing. The medication management team works closely with therapists, so care feels coordinated rather than scattered.

Here’s the thing. Mental health care works best when it feels accessible and comfortable. If you have Medicaid, Medicare, or commercial insurance, you are welcome here.

If you have been struggling with depression that has not responded to traditional treatment, you know how heavy that can feel. Our Hoffman Estates office now offers Spravato, and it has given many people a real chance at feeling better again. You know what? The most common thing we hear is that folks just want something that finally helps them feel like themselves.

Spravato is an FDA-approved option for treatment-resistant depression. It is given in a comfortable, monitored setting right here in Hoffman Estates. Patients are supported the entire time by trained clinicians. The pace is unhurried and the atmosphere is calm. Honestly, that part matters as much as the medication itself.

Here is the thing. Cost should never be the reason someone avoids care. We accept all major insurance plans. Medicare is covered. Medicaid is covered. Commercial insurance plans are covered. If someone is unsure about their benefits, our team can check everything before the first appointment.

If you or someone you care about wants to learn more or schedule a consultation, call us at 888.870.1775 or visit ardentcenter.com. Sometimes the next step is the one that finally moves things forward.
