PATHWAYS is an evening outpatient group designed for people living with mood and anxiety disorders. It provides coping skills and long‑term support to help participants maintain recovery. In group sessions, you’ll learn strategies to strengthen interpersonal effectiveness, improve outlook, and pursue personal goals.

PATHWAYS is available to those who have completed the CHOICES program or who do not need the more intensive, three‑days‑per‑week structure of CHOICES. Many participants are working or active in their community, so a one‑day‑a‑week evening group offers the right balance of support and flexibility.

In addition to weekly group therapy, patients receive weekly or bi‑weekly one‑on‑one counseling with a psychotherapist and psychiatric medication management tailored to their unique needs. This less‑intensive program offers the convenience of evening services while ensuring ongoing support through both group and individual treatment.

Psychotherapy or “talk therapy,” is an effective treatment that helps people better understand and manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. A mental health therapist may use one or more approaches to support you in building healthier patterns.

Therapy can help you:

• Manage and improve your moods
• Cope with stress and difficult situations
• Strengthen relationships and daily functioning

For those experiencing an acute episode, inpatient care at a hospital may be needed. If you require more structured support, our CHOICES Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides three days per week of group, individual counseling, and psychiatric medication management, offering a higher level of care while allowing you to continue daily activities.

Spravato (esketamine) is an FDA-approved treatment for people with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Depression is considered treatment-resistant when symptoms haven’t improved with at least two other antidepressant medications. Ours is the first clinic in South Florida to provide on-site esketamine treatment.

Spravato is a nasal spray. It’s administered in a medical office to ensure you receive the correct dose and to monitor for side effects.

You can take Spravato as a standalone treatment or with an oral antidepressant. Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks to have an effect, Spravato can decrease depression symptoms within hours or days.

TMS is is a safe, noninvasive treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. It’s typically recommended for individuals with major depression who haven’t found relief through other treatments.

TMS is an outpatient procedure with no need for anesthesia or recovery time. Most patients receive treatment five days a week for six weeks, followed by a gradual tapering schedule. Each session lasts between 10 and 45 minutes, depending on your personalized treatment plan.

During treatment, a small magnetic device is placed gently against your scalp. It delivers focused pulses that help reset brain activity patterns associated with depression. You’ll remain awake and alert throughout the session, and many patients find it comfortable enough to relax and listen to music.
