Questions about depression therapy

I don't have the energy to start therapy. What if I can't commit?

This is one of the hardest parts of depression — the very thing that would help feels impossible. We start small. The first step is just one phone call. We'll go from there.

Do I need medication?

Not necessarily. Many clients do well with therapy alone. For others, a combination is most effective. We can refer you to a trusted prescriber if needed.

I'm worried about safety — for myself or someone I love. What should I do?

If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or 911. We're also here to talk and help you find the right next step — please reach out.
