Recognizing Depression in Yourself or a Loved One

If you're experiencing persistent sadness, loss of interest, low energy, or changes in appetite that drain the joy from your life, effective help is available. Our depression treatment is for anyone, from ages six to adults, who feels stuck and is searching for a way to reconnect with a fulfilling life.

Our Personalized Approach to Depression Care

Our board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners specialize in comprehensive depression treatment. We take a personalized, holistic approach, combining evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness techniques and personalized coping strategies. When appropriate, our PNPs provide medication management to address chemical imbalances, offering a complete path to help you rebuild resilience and regain motivation.

What to Expect in Your Therapy Sessions

Your sessions are a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel heard and understood. We'll begin by discussing your current mood, daily challenges, and specific depression symptoms. Together, we'll work to identify underlying negative thought patterns, develop practical strategies to manage emotions, and set achievable goals to improve your well-being, incorporating techniques like CBT and behavioral activation.

Common Outcomes: Reconnect with a Fulfilling Life

While every journey is unique, clients who engage in treatment with us typically report:

  • Renewed hope and a lifting of persistent sadness.
  • Increased energy and motivation for daily activities.
  • Improved sleep and more stable appetite.
  • A greater capacity for joy and re-engagement with interests.

“Merlin is incredibly helpful & pleasant to talk with!“

Merlin is not only incredibly helpful, but very easy and pleasant to talk with as well. I’m sure each case is different for each person, but from our first meeting after a brief discussion she was able to provide a meaningful solution for my needs. She’s worked with me multiple times to tailor alternatives when needed and has been quick to respond and be available whenever I’ve needed to contact her.

"Rhoda went ABOVE & BEYOND"

"Rhoda & her team are excellent!  Our first meeting was virtual & she just got to know me & found out what I needed from her. The next meeting was in person, and because I’d just started a new job & couldn’t take off she went ABOVE & BEYOND to make sure she was able to see me. She’s kind & understanding & I will continue to see her."
