In individual therapy for depression, clients can expect a compassionate and understanding environment where they can openly discuss their symptoms and struggles with a therapist or counselor. Through evidence-based modalities like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), or psychodynamic therapy, therapists or counselors work collaboratively with clients to address underlying causes and manage symptoms effectively. Sessions may involve exploring negative thought patterns, developing self-awareness, improving self-esteem, and learning coping mechanisms to navigate challenges. Therapists and counselors emphasize creating a supportive and non-judgmental space to foster healing, empowerment, and lasting change in clients’ lives.

Group therapy for depression offers a supportive and empathetic environment where individuals can connect with others facing similar challenges. Led by a trained therapist, sessions focus on exploring shared experiences, providing mutual support, and learning coping strategies. Through evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), participants gain insight into their thoughts and behaviors while receiving feedback and encouragement from peers. Group therapy emphasizes building interpersonal skills, fostering a sense of belonging, and reducing feelings of isolation commonly associated with depression. It provides a valuable opportunity for clients to share their journey, gain perspective, and develop coping mechanisms to manage symptoms effectively.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a set of therapeutic procedures that address the role of particular thoughts and behavior patterns that interfere with mental health. CBT helps people reshape their actions and feelings by modifying thought patterns and self-perception. Taking the time to examine our thoughts as they relate to our self-esteem and behavior can help people cope with depression in healthy ways.

Dialectical behavioral therapy uses conversation, group work, skills training, individual therapy, and self-monitoring to help people develop healthy emotional responses. This therapy model uses a combination of skills training and relationship building between the patient and clinician to help manage strong emotions and difficulty controlling behavior.

Holistic therapy for depression takes a comprehensive approach to mental health, addressing not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes of depression. At Crestview Recovery, our holistic therapy programs integrate evidence-based treatments with complementary activities to promote overall well-being. These activities may include individual therapy sessions to delve into the root causes of depression, group therapy to foster a supportive environment, and self-awareness practices to enhance emotional resilience. Additionally, we offer mindfulness-based activities such as meditation and yoga to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety symptoms. Our emphasis on holistic therapy ensures that clients receive comprehensive care, addressing the mind, body, and spirit in their journey towards overcoming depression and achieving lasting change and relief.

Trauma therapy for depression focuses on addressing past traumatic experiences that may contribute to the development or exacerbation of depressive symptoms. At Crestview Recovery, our trauma-informed approach emphasizes understanding and processing the effects of trauma on mental health. Through evidence-based techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), our therapists help clients explore and resolve underlying trauma while learning coping mechanisms to manage depressive symptoms. By addressing trauma alongside depression treatment, we strive to provide holistic care that promotes healing and lasting relief for our clients.
