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, no traffic on New Hampshire Avenue or Route 29.

Same-week appointments are often available. We'll send you a secure link before your appointment.

What to Expect from Depression Treatment

Depression isn't something you just "snap out of" — and you shouldn't have to. Whether you choose telehealth or an in-person visit at our Burtonsville office, here's what you can expect from care that's designed to meet you where you are and help you find your way back to feeling like yourself.

01

A Real Conversation — Not a Checklist

Your first appointment is a genuine conversation — not a rushed questionnaire. Dr. Fosu takes time to understand what you're experiencing: the exhaustion, the numbness, the loss of interest in things you once loved. She asks about your sleep, appetite, energy, and what you've tried before. Whether you're joining from Silver Spring via telehealth or visiting our Burtonsville office, you'll receive the same depth of care. You don't need to have everything figured out. This is your space to be heard, without judgment and without pressure. She also screens for co-occurring conditions like ADHD or anxiety that often overlap with depression.

02

Understanding What's Going On

Depression can feel like a fog — you know something's wrong, but it's hard to explain. Dr. Fosu will help you understand how depression shows up in your life: the negative thought patterns, the low energy, the withdrawal from people and activities. She'll explain how these pieces connect, so you can start to see a way forward. You don't need to have all the answers. She'll help you find them.

03

A Plan That Fits Your Life

Your treatment is built around you — not a template. It may include therapy (like CBT or IPT), medication support, or both. Dr. Fosu explains each option clearly so you can make informed decisions. She starts with low doses when medication is involved and monitors your response closely. The goal isn't just to manage symptoms — it's to help you build a life that feels more like your own again.

04

Support That Stays With You

Healing isn't linear, and we don't expect it to be. We schedule regular follow-ups — in-person at our Burtonsville office or via telehealth — to check in on your progress, adjust your care, and help you through the hard days. Whether you're in Silver Spring, Burtonsville, or anywhere in Maryland, you're not alone in this. We'll walk with you through every step, at a pace that feels right for you. Psychiatric evaluation is also available for new patients who need a comprehensive assessment.
