How We Serve Columbia Residents

While our main office is in Laurel — about a 20-25 minute drive from Columbia — we make it easy to access expert care for depression. Here's how.

🏥

In-Person Visits — A Short Drive to Laurel

Our main office at 14504 Greenview Drive #207, Laurel, MD 20708 is easily accessible from Columbia. It's a straightforward drive via Route 29 or I-95, typically taking 20-25 minutes depending on traffic. Free parking is available right outside the building, and our clinic is designed to feel safe and welcoming.

Same-week appointments are often available. All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and internet connection. We'll send you a secure link before your appointment.

What You Need

All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and internet connection. Find a quiet, private space where you can speak freely. Have your insurance card and a list of current medications ready. That's it — no commute, no waiting room.

Same-week appointments are often available. We'll send you a secure link before your appointment. For Columbia residents, telehealth means you can get expert care for depression without leaving your home. If you're also experiencing symptoms of anxiety, we can address both conditions together.

What to Expect from Depression Treatment

Whether you choose telehealth or an in-person visit at our Laurel office, here's what you can expect from our depression treatment.

01

Comprehensive Depression Evaluation

Your first appointment is a thorough evaluation where Dr. Fosu takes time to understand your specific symptoms — whether it's persistent sadness, loss of interest, fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, or feelings of hopelessness. She explores what you've tried before and what you're hoping to achieve. This isn't a quick checklist — it's a real conversation about your mental health and treatment goals.

02

Understanding Your Depression

We take time to help you understand how depression shows up in your life — whether it's low energy, difficulty concentrating, feeling numb, or withdrawing from others. You'll learn to recognize the patterns that keep depression going and understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This understanding is the first step toward healing.

03

Evidence-Based Treatment Options

We use proven approaches to treat depression — including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and medication services when appropriate. Dr. Fosu explains each option clearly and works with you to find the right combination for your needs. You'll learn practical tools you can use in everyday life — whether at work, at home, or in your relationships.

04

Ongoing Support & Relapse Prevention

Managing depression is an ongoing journey. We schedule regular follow-ups — in-person at our Laurel office or via telehealth — to track your progress, adjust treatment as needed, and help you build resilience. We're here for the long haul, whether you're in Columbia, Laurel, or anywhere in Maryland.
