I’m Dr. Louis Costello, a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in child, adolescent, and adult mental health.  Through years of experience in hospitals, clinics, and community settings, I have helped parents support their teens in overcoming depression and regaining a fulfilling, healthy life.

Teen depression is a serious issue, often showing up as deep sadness, anger, or hopelessness. While therapy, medications, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Ketamine and other treatments can help, they don’t always lead to full recovery.  Too many teens remain stuck and struggling to find lasting relief.

By embracing a holistic, 6 pillar lifestyle care approach - addressing biological, psychological, and social well-being - I have seen families move from despair to hope, from isolation to connection, from struggle to resilience, and from feeling broken or lost to having real hope.  Parents play a crucial role in helping their teens restore mental health, reduce reliance on medication, and build habits that foster emotional strength.
