Everyone goes through mood changes throughout their life, but depression has a deep impact on your energy and often affects your ability to participate in the normal activities you once enjoyed.
If you’re depressed, you’ll experience several of these symptoms for at least two weeks:
Depression develops from a combination of psychological, social, and biological factors. As a result, each person experiences a different range of symptoms.
The team at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic talk with you about your medical history and symptoms and perform a psychological assessment to evaluate your depression.
A comprehensive evaluation is important, not only to accurately diagnose depression, but also to diagnose other conditions that often accompany depression. For example, more than half of patients with depression also have anxiety.
The in-depth information obtained during your assessment also identifies your strengths and guides the best treatment plan for your individual needs.
The team at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic offers many types of therapies that help to improve all the factors contributing to your depression. While some patients need long-term treatment, up to 80% of those participating in the treatments at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic see improvements in 4-6 weeks after starting their therapy.
Your provider works closely with you to determine the best therapy, often combining multiple treatments for optimal results. These are a few examples of the therapies they use to relieve depression:
Neurofeedback produces lasting changes in your brain’s imbalanced brain waves, boosting nerve activity in the brain areas associated with depression and anxiety.
Biofeedback trains self-regulation, giving you the skills to control your body’s physiological responses associated with depression.
Light therapy improves cellular function and stimulates energy production, activities that can improve your mood.
The team at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic specializes in many therapeutic techniques that effectively help people with depression. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and problem-solving therapy are just a few examples of approaches that help people with depression.

Julia did a first-class, thorough and helpful job. We were very appreciative of her knowledge and helpful approach.

I would love to participate but just want to genuinely ask how do people afford this without insurance (500+ per therapy sessinon and ~7k evaluation) on a regular basis. Or are there any other ways that can compensate the fees. Any insights are greatly appreciated! Cancy Han2023-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a successful startup founder but in the last 20 years I've spent over $250k on doctors, psychiatrists, therapists, dual-diagnosis clinics, and even crazy stuff like IV-ketamine therapy to figure out "what is wrong with my brain". The Abbey Clinic gave me the answers; now they're providing my therapy. I have yet to find a comparable clinic in the Bay Area. For me, they were truly a lifesaver. Shout-out to Dr Korsmo, Dr Barrett, Jordann, and Andrew. 🙏 Pete Curley2023-01-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reports show tremendous improvements in simple attention, complex attention, executive functioning, cognitive flexibility and tremendous improvement in alpha and beta waves control after 6 months. We saw immediate improvement in communication after the first month. Later on, we saw improvement in attention and executive functioning. The team we are working with at Abbey clinic is professional, friendly and supportive. Special thanks to Andrew Moses who conducts the Bi-weekly sessions. He is very nice and friendly. We would also like to thank Rachel and Paula who meet with us to discuss and explain the reports, results and future plans.

Rachael Little2022-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel that my experience with Abby has been excellent. The price is very very high and insurance usually does not cover it but it is definitely worth it if you have a lot of money to spare. I feel almost like a completely different person now, more focused, less anxious, and more relaxed. H S2022-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were fortunate to hear about Abbey Clinic from our neighbor. I had no idea how to find a therapist. Both my kids are pretty regular learners and didn't really need much support outside of school, but when my teenager's life went completely sideways junior year from a brain injury, the biggest help were the sessions with Rachael Little. The sessions taught him coping skills and methods to approach life. He is doing so well in college and still uses the things he learned with Rachael. Thank you! Greta Kim2022-05-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All 5 members of my family have been served by Abbey Clinic - it's that good. We started with one kid as a test, and then continued on through the whole family because the experience with the first was so great. The report and insights given from the testing of my 3 kids has been hugely beneficial to their school and social lives. My daughter did brain training to help with her ADHD. We saw noticeable improvement. The same teenage daughter has made wonderful progress with her anxiety by meeting with Dr. Stephanie Abbey for psychotherapy. Personally, I met with Rachael for psychotherapy to help with my Autism. It was the kind of thing where I knew I needed to do it, and my wife encouraged me, but I wasn't very excited and definitely a little nervous about embarking into psychotherapy. Now looking back, I am THRILLED with the outcome. Rachael equipped me with frameworks and tools to make my life (and those around me) SOO much better. Our family is incredibly grateful for our interactions with Abbey Clinic. Strongly recommend! Stefan Lusvardi2022-05-26
