Adolescent mental health needs our help.

With the combination of medical knowledge and an immersive virtual experience, we can break down walls and begin healing children faster. Let’s meet them where they are and help them get to where they need to go. Literature reports that a child’s relationship with their Primary Care Physician is the best positive predictive factor for a good outcome. We want to partner with you, and save you time, by giving you a fully prepared multimodal suitcase to immediately help adolescents when they need it most.

IMT DEPRESSION PROTOCOL

Designed for Primary Care Physicians by a Primary Care Physician

Getting into counseling for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and referring to Psychiatry can take months. Our patients need help now.

After feeling frustrated with the current process of waiting, I felt I could help the solution. I designed an Immersive Medical Therapy (IMT) Depression Protocol that allows us to start treatment sooner. We are able to invite the adolescent back for follow up visit and immediately begin implementing core needs.

The program gives them a safe place to exercise, escape their current worries, and learn about key concepts to start healing their depression. Our program is exciting and adolescents have fun, learn, and improve their depression scores within weeks of starting. We do not replace the standard of care of CBT or Psychiatry consult, but rather bridge the gap to help start effective treatment sooner.

A powerful partnership that saves time and gets results.

Let’s elevate your treatment for adolescent depression.

  1. Start effective treatment now vs. waiting weeks and months to start CBT/Consult with Psychiatry.

  2. IMT’s program helps you save time by partnering to serve your patient now, so you can focus on your relationship with them, which is key to their success.

  3. IMT as a partner takes some of this stress off you when serving this vulnerable patient population.

  4. IMT offers faster results in adolescent depression scores in just 8 sessions.

“PCPs can start effective treatment now without the wait… with immersive experiences and partnerships.“

— Dr. Lindsey

Treating adolescent depression is difficult.

Our youth and their families LOOK TO US FOR TREATMENT.

Unfortunately, adolescent depression is on the rise and the beautiful gift is that they do have some trust in what we can provide. Our screening questionnaires are quite effective at screening for depression and suicide risk. When they are positive, we need to be ready with treatment options.

Getting into counseling is a strategy they need to be compliant with and can take time to get established. A referral to Psychiatry can take months. Parents or patients can feel resistant to start a medication, and/or the medication can make the condition worse. We can offer solutions, but also feel as if we don’t have the immediate cure or solution to their need — sometimes in their darkest hour.

With the IMT Depression Protocol, we can confidently start a solution that can help immediately. Keep them in your care and partner with IMT to speed along their progress. Watch their growth and even enthusiasm as they return for future sessions. This is an effective solution to a healthcare gap.

“I’ve seen it for myself and I’m looking forward to watching it work for you!”
— Dr. Lindsey

Blending immersive experiences with medical advice to strengthen our youths’ mental health.

SETTING YOU UP FOR SUCCESS

HERE’S HOW YOU WILL BE SUPPORTED

When you decide to partner with us, you will have the resources you need to get started using IMT once your multimodal suitcase arrives. The program allows you to be as hands-on or as hands-off as you choose to be. It is encouraged that you keep your provider-patient relationship and monitor their success as they go through the IMT Depression Protocol.

IMT Provider Portal

The IMT Provider Portal is connected through our Immersive Medical Therapy App. It is your resource portal for common questions, downloads, podcast with psychologists, psychiatrists and PCPs, research articles and individual support.

A carefully curated multimodal suitcase

Hand-selected products with purpose and quality in mind.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

1. Meta Quest 3 Headset/Controls and already downloaded apps for our program

We utilize the immersive VR environments to provide your patients with a therapeutic escape from their current circumstances. VR is shown to lower anxiety, depression, fatigue, and pain. Creating new experiences and neural networks is the name of the game. The Meta Quest 3 comes with a one year warranty and an option to extend it to two years.

2. Essential Oil Diffuser + Young Living Essential Oils

Essential oils have been used for thousands of years in various cultures for medical benefits, including as an antidepressant and improving anxiety. Lavender is shown to relieve anxiety, decrease stress, promote relaxation, reduce muscle tension, and studies even show a decrease in 5HT1A receptor activity and improvement in parasympathetic tone.

This essential oil diffuser fills the space with a lovely fragrance that provides medical benefits and correlates a sensory organ with a positive therapeutic experience.

Young Living’s standards ensure that every drop of their essential oil is as pure and powerful as it gets.

3. Hooga Grounding Mat

Grounding uses the earth's natural energy to improve health and well-being. The earth carries a slightly negative electrical charge. When you come into direct contact with the earth, either by standing barefoot or by using our grounding mat, this charge is transferred to your body. In your body, these negatively charged free electrons work to neutralize harmful free radicals reducing inflammation, reduce stress, reduce pain, reduce blood viscosity and improve blood flow, improves energy, improves sleep and more.

4. SAD Lamp

SAD lamps originally designed for Seasonal Affective Disorder effectively targets neurotransmitter reaction through light on the retina which induces serotonin to boost mood, melatonin to help with insomnia, and connects to hypothalamus which restores circadian rhythm.

4. Carry-on Traveling Suitcase

Away brand is an award-winning suitcase, featuring lightweight, durable hard shell, easy-grip to handle, additional underside grab handle, and smooth-gliding wheels. They offer a limited lifetime warranty which covers any damage to shell, wheels, handles, zippers, and many other functional elements.

Time efficiency and billing

We are here to save you time and still get reimbursed for your visit.

Treating depression is our goal, however, busy schedules and administrative demands are real. We get it. Using IMT you develop a partner with treatment/allowing your efforts to multiply with less time investment. When a child is in your office, you can bill for an office visit. You will be face-to-face in the beginning to gauge their clinical progress (2-3min) and then start the protocol and allow the IMT Depression Protocol to take over (30min). We have billing and coding Q&A on Provider Portal. AMA has updated their list of billable CPT codes and this continues to grow.
