POV: You work the front desk and somehow know when *everyone* is coming and going 👀😂

Just because we’re at the front desk doesn’t mean we’re not invested in how everyone’s day is going. 😭

We’re here to welcome you, help however we can, and yes… maybe be just a *little* curious about what’s happening around the clinic. 😂💙

Your privacy is safe. Our curiosity? That’s another story. 👀

Back-to-school season can be stressful for adults, too. 📚🧠

New schedules. New routines. Financial pressure. The end of summer.

Sometimes those changes can bring more anxiety than we expect—and you don’t always have to just “power through.”

Arielle talks about recognizing when seasonal stress may be something more and when it could be worth exploring additional mental health treatment options. 💙

If anxiety has been difficult to manage with your current approach, there may be other options worth discussing with a qualified provider.

What if trauma treatment could create space for something new? 🧠🇺🇸

In this conversation, therapist Mika shares her perspective on PTSD, trauma recovery, and the idea of a “soft reset” for veterans whose brains may feel stuck in patterns shaped by past experiences.

For many veterans, the effects of trauma can continue long after service ends. Understanding PTSD—and the different approaches being explored to support recovery—is an important part of that conversation. 💙

This clip comes from our recent Serving Those Who Served webinar, where Dr. Eshkevari, Mika, and veteran perspectives came together to discuss PTSD, trauma-informed care, and treatment options.

More from this conversation coming soon.

PTSD care is about more than addressing symptoms. It’s about helping people understand, process, and integrate what they’re experiencing. 🧠🇺🇸

At Avesta, we encourage patients receiving care for PTSD to continue working with a trauma-informed therapist who can help them navigate the emotional and physical responses associated with trauma.

That’s also why we’re excited for our upcoming webinar. You’ll hear:
🧠 The clinical perspective on treatment for PTSD
🤝 A therapist’s perspective on trauma-informed care
🇺🇸 Perspectives from veteran patients
💙 How comprehensive care can support long-term recovery

PTSD doesn’t always end when service does. 🇺🇸🧠

Sleepless nights. A mind that won’t slow down. Feeling constantly on edge—even around the people you love.

And in military communities like Norfolk and Virginia Beach, the impact can extend beyond veterans to spouses, families, and entire support systems. 💙

If you’ve tried traditional approaches and you’re still struggling, join us for our upcoming webinar:

What if you’ve tried traditional antidepressants and still haven’t found the relief you’re looking for? 🧠

Dr. Eshkevari discusses why this treatment has become an important area of research for people experiencing treatment-resistant depression, particularly because of its potential for a more rapid response.

Research has also explored potential benefits for:
✨ Depression and anxiety
🧠 PTSD
💙 Bipolar depression
🔄 OCD and other mental health conditions

At Avesta, we believe treatment should be personalized to the individual—not simply follow a one-size-fits-all approach.

From initial treatment through maintenance, our team works with patients to determine an approach that fits their needs.

If you’re exploring your options, we’re here to help. 🤝

What happens when depression doesn’t improve after the first treatment? 🧠

The STAR*D trial helped researchers better understand what can happen when people move through multiple treatment approaches for depression.

In this video, we explore:
🔹 Sequential treatment strategies
🔹 Why some people continue to experience symptoms despite treatment
🔹 When clinicians may begin considering additional options
🔹 Where advanced treatments like ECT may fit into the conversation

There isn’t one treatment path that works for everyone. Understanding the research can help patients have more informed conversations with their providers about what comes next. 💙

Ever feel like your thoughts just keep going in circles? 🧠🔄

Rumination can keep us stuck in the same worries, questions, and painful memories—making it harder to move forward from depression, anxiety, or trauma.

But healing isn’t always about trying to stop thinking. Sometimes, it’s about learning how to understand our thoughts differently and finding meaning beyond them. 💙

In this video, we explore how extended psychotherapy, self-reflection, and developing a deeper sense of meaning can help us navigate life’s challenges and work toward lasting emotional well-being. 🌱

If your medication isn’t working for you, that conversation is worth having. 🧠

Dr. Ben Bregman talks about the importance of finding a treatment plan that patients can feel comfortable with—one that works, fits their needs, and makes sense for their individual mental health journey.

Because treatment shouldn’t be about simply pushing through.

It should be about finding the right approach for you. 💙

If something isn’t working, talk openly with your provider about what you’re experiencing and what options may be available.
