Frequently Asked Questions
There’s no single “best” treatment—because there’s no single kind of depression. That said, process-based therapies like ACT, combined with a strong therapeutic relationship and skill-building, show strong results. We tailor every plan to the person, not the diagnosis.
We work with many insurance providers and also offer private pay options. During your consultation, we’ll verify your benefits and walk you through the costs clearly—no surprise fees, no confusion. Your peace of mind matters as much as your healing.
Depression can result from a mix of factors, often including:
- Genetics and family history
- Life stressors or trauma
- Brain chemistry and hormone imbalances
- Ongoing environmental or relational challenges
Often, it’s not just one thing—but we can help you untangle what’s contributing and where to begin healing.
Here are five evidence-based skills we help clients develop:
- Behavioral activation – re-engaging with small, meaningful activities
- Cognitive defusion – stepping back from harsh inner criticism
- Values identification – reconnecting with what really matters to you
- Mindfulness practice – learning to sit with discomfort without getting lost in it
- Self-compassion – treating yourself with the kindness you’d give someone you love
