Therapy for Depression

Our approach to counseling for depression is not one-size-fits-all. We draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. Key therapeutic interventions we utilize include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT for depression helps you identify and challenge the negative thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms. By restructuring these thoughts, we empower you to shift your mood and behavior.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): We use DBT to teach you practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and building stronger relationships. This approach is highly effective in managing the intense emotional lows often associated with depression.
• Internal Family Systems (IFS): IFS views the mind as being composed of different “parts,” each with its own role. We use this gentle, non-pathologizing approach to help you understand and harmonize these parts, reducing internal conflict and promoting self-compassion.
• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): For depression that is linked to past trauma or painful memories, EMDR helps your brain reprocess these experiences, reducing their emotional burden and allowing you to heal.
• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): Rather than dwelling on the past, SFBT helps you focus on your strengths and what is already working. We collaboratively build a clear vision of your preferred future and take small, concrete steps toward it, helping you regain a sense of hope and forward momentum.
