Theodore A. Henderson, MD, PhD
MD, PhD, board-certified psychiatrist and neurobiologist
Dr. Theodore Henderson is a psychiatrist and neurobiologist who uses brain scans and near-infrared laser treatment for people whose depression, brain injury or memory trouble has not eased with usual care. He sees patients in Denver, Colorado and Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
About
He earned both a medical degree and a PhD in neurobiology, and trained further in psychiatry, neurology, radiology and nuclear medicine. His board certification comes from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
Dr. Henderson is president of Neuro-Luminance Inc. and of the International Society of Applied Neuroimaging. He holds four patents, and his research on how infrared light passes through brain tissue is widely cited. He co-wrote the Canadian Association of Nuclear Medicine's guidance on brain perfusion SPECT, and Discover Magazine named his work using SPECT to tell brain injury apart from PTSD a top science story.
He also reviews for and edits medical journals, among them JAMA Psychiatry, Frontiers in Psychiatry and PLoS One.

Approach
Care usually begins with a full evaluation and a SPECT scan, which shows patterns of blood flow in the brain that MRI and CT do not. The scan shapes a personal plan, often a series of 10 to 20 painless laser sessions of about 30 minutes, with follow-up over the long term.
Who they see
People living with stubborn depression, the effects of a brain injury or concussion, PTSD, memory loss, long COVID or ADHD, and families looking for help for a loved one.
