    Frequently Asked Questions

    What's the difference between sadness and depression?

    Sadness is a normal emotion that passes with time. Depression persists for weeks or longer and affects your ability to function. If low mood is lasting more than two weeks and impacting your daily life, it may be time to seek help.

    Can therapy really help with depression?

    Yes. Research consistently shows that therapy, particularly CBT, is highly effective for depression. Many clients experience significant improvement, especially when therapy is tailored to their individual needs.

    Do I need medication for depression?

    Not necessarily. Therapy alone is effective for many people. However, some benefit from a combination of therapy and medication. Our team includes a psychiatric provider who can evaluate whether medication might be helpful.

    Do you offer virtual depression therapy?

    Yes, we offer telehealth for all Virginia residents. Virtual sessions are just as effective as in-person for depression treatment.
