What Is Depression Treatment?
Depression treatment targets persistent low mood, loss of interest, sleep/appetite changes, and foggy thinking that interfere with daily life. Effective care usually combines:
- Psychiatric evaluation & diagnosis (rule out medical causes; assess severity)
- Medication management (when symptoms or safety warrant it)
- Therapy with skills practice (to rebuild routines, motivation, and connection)
- Measurement-based care (regular PHQ-9 tracking to see progress and adjust)
How We Treat Depression (Evidence-Based, Person-Centered)
Behavioral Activation (BA)
Depression pulls you away from life; BA helps you re-engage. We identify small, meaningful actions—sleep schedule resets, structured movement, connection time—that lift mood through consistency.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT targets the “I’m stuck and nothing will change” loop. You’ll learn to test automatic thoughts, practice alternative perspectives, and build problem-solving skills for real situations.
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
Many depressive episodes follow role changes, grief, or conflict. IPT improves communication, boundary setting, and support—so relationships become a resource, not a stressor.
Medication Options (When Indicated)
Our psychiatric providers may recommend SSRIs (e.g., sertraline, escitalopram), SNRIs (e.g., venlafaxine, duloxetine), or agents like bupropion (energy/attention) or mirtazapine (sleep/appetite). We start low, go slow, monitor side effects, and coordinate with therapy.
Integrated Care for Co-Occurring Needs
Depression commonly overlaps with anxiety, trauma, or substance use. We align therapy, medication, and recovery supports—referring for EMDR or MAT/OBOT when helpful—so you’re not bouncing between siloed providers.
Signs It’s Time to Get Help
- Low mood most days, most of the day

Several therapy visits per week with medication follow-ups. Designed to rebuild rhythm, practice coping skills, and stabilize mood while you maintain work or school. - Outpatient Program (OP)
Step-down care focused on medication optimization, relapse-prevention planning, and targeted therapy to protect gains as life gets fuller. - MAT & OBOT (when depression co-occurs with substance use)
If alcohol or opioids complicate depression, we coordinate medications and counseling so both conditions improve together. - Community Housing & Gender-Specific Tracks
Structured, recovery-friendly living and men’s/women’s programming for added safety, privacy, and focus during treatment.
