Navigating the Path Out of Depression
We believe that depression is not a personal failure, but a complex clinical condition that requires a comprehensive approach. We combine deep empathy with modern tools to help you find your footing again.
Our Clinical Approach
We use a variety of "gold-standard" therapies to address the biological, emotional, and cognitive layers of depression:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To identify and shift the "automatic negative thoughts" that fuel a depressed mood.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): To help you move toward your values even when motivation is low.
Internal Family Systems (IFS): To understand the "parts" of you that may be using withdrawal or numbness as a way to cope with deep pain.
Brainspotting & EMDR: To process underlying trauma that may be manifesting as chronic depression.
For Youth (Ages 10+): We use specialized interactive software to help younger clients express feelings of "heaviness" or "emptiness" through engaging, visual mediums.
Your Collaborative Treatment Journey
We believe you are the expert on your own experience. Our process ensures you are an active partner in your recovery:
Full Clinical Assessment: We meet with you to determine your current needs—looking at sleep, energy, mood, and any life factors contributing to how you feel.
Setting Treatment Goals: Together, we define what "thriving" looks like for you. It might be returning to a hobby, improving work performance, or simply feeling a sense of hope again.
A Shared Plan: We discuss and agree upon a treatment plan that fits your pace. We regularly check in to see how you are progressing toward your goals.
Accessibility & Ease of Care
We know that when you are struggling with depression, navigating healthcare can feel overwhelming. We’ve streamlined our process to support you:
Support Staff: Our team is available to help you find the right therapist match so you don't have to do the research alone.
Free Consultations: Meet with a therapist first to ensure you feel a sense of comfort and "fit."
Flexible Access: We offer online therapy, online booking, and are available 7 days a week to fit your energy levels and schedule.
Fully Covered: We accept all Minnesota insurance groups, ensuring that cost isn't a barrier to your healing.

Depression
Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of PsychCentral: "CBT works by helping you change any unhelpful thought processes that may be contributing to your depression. Through various techniques, CBT aims to do the following:
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: CBT teaches you to spot and challenge automatic negative thoughts linked to depression, like feeling helpless, hopeless, or worthless.
Restructure cognitive patterns: A therapist will work with you to reframe your interpretation of life events, altering any core beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Develop coping strategies: CBT teaches effective coping skills and problem-solving techniques to handle challenging situations.
Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.
Relapse prevention: CBT not only treats current symptoms but also focuses on preventing future relapses by teaching strategies to maintain healthier thoughts and behavior patterns..."

Depression
Lauren Chavis
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Depression can leave you feeling disconnected, unmotivated, irritable, exhausted, or simply unlike yourself. I work with adults to understand what may be contributing to these feelings, interrupt patterns that keep them stuck, and gradually reconnect with the relationships, activities, and parts of life that matter to them.
