Wondering What the Therapy Process Looks Like? We Got You.
1. Intake
Your first session is a chance to get comfortable and talk about what’s been feeling heavy or overwhelming. Your therapist will learn about your experiences, daily life, and goals, while also answering any questions you have about how depression therapy works.
2. Assessment
As sessions continue, your therapist works to understand the emotions, patterns, stressors, and history contributing to your depression. This stage helps clarify what’s fueling your symptoms and guides a personalized treatment plan.
3. Treatment
Sessions focus on helping you build practical tools to manage emotions, reduce stress, and shift unhelpful patterns. Depending on your needs, therapy may include talk‑based approaches, mindfulness strategies, or skills that support healthier thinking and coping.
4. Integration
Over time, you’ll begin applying what you’re learning in real‑life situations. This stage supports building confidence, emotional awareness, and more balanced ways of responding to challenges.
5. Follow-Up and Ongoing Support
As your needs evolve, therapy may shift toward maintaining progress, strengthening skills, or addressing new concerns. Some people continue with regular sessions, while others check in as needed for ongoing support.
