Aspen Counseling is a Rockford behavioral health practice focused on psychotherapy and advanced treatment for mood disorders, especially depression and other difficult-to-treat conditions. The practice provides counseling in a safe, therapeutic setting and integrates transcranial magnetic stimulation as part of a broader approach for people whose needs extend beyond talk therapy alone. As a division of Rosecrance Therapies, Aspen Counseling is part of a larger continuum of behavioral health services. It was the first provider in northern Illinois to offer transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy and is a REMS-certified provider of SPRAVATO (esketamine) for treatment-resistant depression and major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts or actions. Its model combines psychotherapy with medical oversight, including leadership from Medical Director Raymond Garcia, M.D., and clinical care from Kathleen Kruse, M.S.W., LCSW. The practice emphasizes empowerment, warmth, and evidence-based care for severe and persistent depression.
