Make sure you know all your depression treatment options.

Drew Robinson was a rising Major League Baseball player until major depression derailed his career and his life. After trying multiple medications that didn’t successfully relieve his depression, Drew felt hopeless. In the spring of 2019, he tried to take his life. Fortunately Drew survived. And during his recovery his doctor recommended a new possibility for treating his depression: NeuroStar TMS.

Today, Drew is a NeuroStar patient and mental health advocate, working to ensure people like him who suffer from major depression know all their treatment options, and can get the help they need.

Dr. Anna Kielak, DNP, ARNP

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Personal Statement
I believe that mental health conditions can be compared to physical injuries. For example, when you sprain your ankle, you need to go to see a specialist. She/he will prescribe you some anti-inflammatory medications – maybe Ibuprofen and some Cortisone shots. Then you will need to attend physical therapy (PT). If you work hard during your PT appointments, your ankle will get better, and you will need less medication. The same can be said about mental health disorders. In the beginning you will need some psychiatric medications to help with emergent or severe problems but then psychotherapy will help you sustain and maintain a balance. I will help with the medication portion of treatment and a team of Psychologists and Counselors will provide other comprehensive services. Human beings have an overwhelming capacity to heal, and effective healing and personal growth are achieved from a continuous partnership between clients and their healthcare providers. I am here to facilitate your recovery by providing knowledge about new research in the field of neuroscience, medications and expanded understanding of mental disorders. All that while making sure that the treatment is right for you.
