How effective are these treatments for depression?
Evidence-based treatments for depression, such as CBT and antidepressant medications, have been shown to be highly effective. Many individuals experience significant improvement in their symptoms and overall quality of life. The effectiveness of treatment can depend on factors such as the severity of the depression, the individual’s commitment to the treatment plan, and the presence of a supportive environment.
How long does it take to see improvement?
The time it takes to see improvement can vary depending on the individual and the type of treatment. Some people may start to feel better within a few weeks of starting therapy or medication, while others may take several months to notice significant changes. It is important to maintain open communication with your healthcare provider to adjust the treatment plan as needed and to remain patient and committed to the process.
What happens in depression therapy sessions?
Sessions provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can share your feelings, explore the roots of your depression, and learn strategies to improve your mood and functioning. Therapy is tailored to your needs and goals.
What approaches do you use for depression treatment?
Our therapists use evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and self-compassion strategies to help clients manage and recover from depression.
