What is Depression?
Depression is a common but serious mental health condition that affects how you feel, think, and manage daily activities. It can manifest in various forms, such as Major Depressive Disorder, Persistent Depressive Disorder (dysthymia), and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Depression can make it hard to find joy in life, even in things that once made you happy.
Common Symptoms of Depression:
- Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
- Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy
- Fatigue or low energy, even with adequate sleep
- Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
- Feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or self-blame
- Significant changes in sleep patterns (insomnia or oversleeping)
- Changes in appetite or weight
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, depression therapy can help you navigate and overcome these challenges.

How Depression Therapy Can Help
Therapy provides a safe, supportive space for exploring your emotions, identifying unhelpful thought patterns, and developing coping strategies. At Prism Wellness, we offer evidence-based therapy approaches that help individuals understand the root causes of their depression and empower them to manage their symptoms.

Through therapy, many people find relief from depression and learn new ways to navigate life’s difficulties.

Types of Depression Therapy We Offer
At Prism Wellness, we use several therapeutic modalities proven to help individuals struggling with depression. Our approaches include:

- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thinking patterns that contribute to depression. By shifting these thought patterns, clients can improve their mood and outlook on life.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT helps individuals manage overwhelming emotions through skills like mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance. This therapy is especially helpful for those dealing with intense feelings of sadness or hopelessness.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT): MBCT combines traditional cognitive therapy with mindfulness practices. It helps individuals become more aware of their thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed by them, reducing the risk of relapse.
- Trauma-Informed Therapy: For some, depression is linked to past trauma. Trauma-informed therapy acknowledges the impact of trauma and provides a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to healing and recovery.
- Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP) is used to help individuals through depression by combining low doses of ketamine with therapeutic support. It can promote relief from treatment-resistant depression, allowing clients to explore and process traumatic memories in a safe, controlled environment. It can be especially powerful for patients who haven’t found relief from SSRIs or other mood stabilizing drugs.
- Expressive Arts Therapy: For children, teens, and adults who may have difficulty verbalizing their emotions, we offer expressive arts therapy as a creative outlet to explore and process their feelings. This approach integrates art forms like drawing, painting, music, and movement to help individuals express complex emotions and experiences in a non-verbal way.
Is Depression Therapy Right for You?
If you’re unsure whether therapy can help with your depression, consider these questions:
- Do you feel persistently sad, empty, or hopeless?
- Have you lost interest in activities you once found enjoyable?
- Are you struggling with low energy or difficulty concentrating?
- Do you have trouble with sleep, appetite, or feelings of self-worth?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, therapy for depression may be a helpful step toward feeling better.
