At Lumos Psychiatric Services, we specialize in providing personalized treatment plans designed to help individuals overcome depressive symptoms and regain control of their lives. Whether you’re experiencing persistent sadness or struggling with low mood, our dedicated team is here to support you every step of the way.
Depression manifests differently for each person. You may be struggling with depression if you’re experiencing some of the following symptoms:
Determining whether you are at risk for developing depression involves examining various factors that can influence its onset. While depression is a complex mental health disorder, understanding these potential causes and risk factors is crucial for both prevention and treatment.
Fundamental Causes and Risk Factors for developing depression include:
While these factors can influence your risk of depression, it’s essential to remember that not everyone who experiences them will develop the disorder. Additionally, depression is a treatable condition, and seeking professional help can significantly improve outcomes. If you are concerned about your risk of depression or are experiencing symptoms, don’t hesitate to reach out.
At Lumos Psychiatric, we offer a comprehensive approach to depression treatment, incorporating a variety of evidence-based strategies tailored to your individual needs:
Our therapists specialize in techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), which are effective in managing depressive symptoms and improving overall well-being. Through one-on-one therapy sessions, individuals are provided with a safe and supportive environment to explore their emotions, identify negative thought patterns, and develop coping strategies to navigate life’s challenges.
In conjunction with therapy, medication may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms and restore balance. Our experienced psychiatrists will work closely with you to find the most suitable medication regimen based on your unique symptoms and medical history. From selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) to serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) and other antidepressants, we ensure that your medication plan is carefully monitored and adjusted to optimize treatment outcomes.
We provide various supportive services, including telepsychiatry appointments, to ensure accessibility and continuity of care. Additionally, we offer support groups for individuals living with depression, providing a safe and understanding space for sharing experiences and coping strategies. These groups foster a sense of community and connection, reducing feelings of isolation and promoting emotional healing.
Our experienced team is equipped to address various forms of depression, including:
At Lumos Psychiatric Services, we offer specialized treatment options tailored to different subtypes of depression.

★★★★★I found Dr Maitra and her wonderful staff during the pandemic. She was one of the very few doctors who responded to my many emails. Dr. Maitra is one of a kind! She is compassionate, genuinely cares about her patients, and willing to meet them where they are to help them get well.
★★★★★The doctor is very caring. She takes patient’s words into consideration and prescribes medication accordingly. She is super helpful too.
★★★★★I cannot recommend Dr. Sarbani Maitra and her team at Lumos Psychiatric Services highly enough. Finding specialized expertise for ADD can be a daunting process, but Dr. Maitra’s deep knowledge and clinical skill made me feel supported from day one. Beyond her impressive expertise, Dr. Maitra has a truly kind demeanor and a great sense of humor, which makes every session feel both productive and comfortable. It is rare to find a physician who balances professional excellence with such a warm, approachable personality. Her office staff is equally amazing, always professional, helpful, and welcoming. Additionally, the practice is in a great location right across the street from Stanford’s Good Samaritan Hospital, making it incredibly convenient. If you are looking for compassionate, expert care in San Jose, this is the place to go!
★★★★★Great Doctor and staff. It's rare to find psychiatric services that truly care about the patient's wellbeing over everything else.
★★★★★Dr. Maitra is a rare type of doctor. She takes extra time with each of her patients. Although this sometimes means waiting a bit more for your appointment, it ensures adequate time is given to address your issues. Dr. Maitra along with her staff are very friendly and accommodating. They provide snacks and water for while waiting in the lobby. The overall atmosphere in her clinic is that of a “mom and pop shop”. The staff are respectful and yet very personable. I cannot recommend her services enough.
★★★★★Dr. Maitra is awesome! I can't say enough about her. She cares about her patients and has a great team of co-workers. Swati goes above and beyond and handles extra tasks for me. More than recommended for anyone who wants a great professional at an accommodating clinic with a lovely team of staff members. Thanks for everything, guys!
★★★★★Dr Maitra is a great doctor. She helped me a lot overcoming some issues I had. As others reviews have said, she really cares about her patients. I recommend without hesitation.
★★★★★Dora, Peyton, Helen, and Shazia are the best. Never felt more comfortable at a clinic. I come back because i trust the people here.
★★★★★Finding the right doctor has been one of the hardest journeys I’ve ever been on — but Lumos Psychiatric has been nothing short of heaven sent. Dr. Maitra is truly one of a kind. Every time I leave her office, it’s like someone turned down the volume on all the noise in my head. That quiet confidence of I got this — she gives me that. Every single time. I don’t know how she does it, but she does. And the staff? I genuinely can’t say enough. Manisha, you are an absolute gem. Places like this remind you that the right support truly exists. Thank you
★★★★★Dr. Maitra saved my life. She doesn’t just sit with you for 15 minutes and send you on your way. She cares, she listens and she prescribes accordingly. Her staff was always responsive and caring. When I moved out of state she even helped me get set up with a new psychiatrist. I’m eternally grateful for Dr. Maitra and her staff.
★★★★★Lumos Clinical has been a God send for my Wife and I. Dr Maitra is someone who is extremely intelligent and qualified in her field and she is also very compassionate and understanding. She has a way of getting through to people, empathizing with them and really helping them. Then there is Riya, and if you are lucky enough to speak to her, you already know she exhibits the upmost compassion, empathy and care. She was a large reason I chose to take my Wife to Lumos and it led us to an amazing Dr and rest of staff.
★★★★★I didn't want to consult a psychiatrist because my lifestyle demanded mental health therapy. I thought I could do it all, handle it all, and be the superwoman everyone thought I was and my family expected of me...anxiety and depression took over my life and I tried everything to rise above it. In my 20s, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Left untreated, the symptoms tormented my life and hurt people I loved. Dr. Maitra is compassionate and the best psychiatrist around. She helped me understand I had a biological imbalance, not just a mental illness. She gave me the strength to share my journey without shame. Dr. Maitra has also been helping me with other private concerns, so I'm confident and hopeful I can overcome these too. Her office is gorgeous and her team handles the important aspects! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a second or third opportunity, is hesitant about a diagnosis, fears judgment, or has lost hope! She's humble and kind. If you trust her, she can change your life too!
Whenever you’re ready. Our team responds the same business day.
