Depression Treatment and Therapy is essential for individuals experiencing depression, a medical condition that causes extreme feelings of sadness and emptiness. People who suffer from depression may lose interest in activities they once enjoyed and experience a constant feeling of hopelessness on a daily basis. Depression, also known as clinical or major depression, may be triggered by certain life events or occur alongside other illnesses. Severe depression can interfere with a person's ability to work, sleep, eat, interact with others, or enjoy life. With the right treatment and therapy, however, depression can become a manageable condition.

- Call: (844) 966-5349
- Website Contact Form: Submit the contact form on our site.
This brief session is available for patients in Oregon, Washington, and Montana, and Arizona.
During this call, you will speak with us and we will:

- Determine whether you need standard psychiatric services, such as medication management or therapy, or might be a good fit for ketamine therapy.
If you proceed with traditional psychiatric care, we’ll schedule your Initial Intake Appointment via secure telehealth.
Before the Initial Intake Appointment
Once your intake is booked, we will send you a set of required Tebra intake forms that must be completed and submitted at least 48 hours before your scheduled session. This allows your provider enough time to review your background and prepare for a meaningful, thorough evaluation.
These forms include:
- Basic patient information & demographics.
- Financial and insurance information.
- Medical information (allergies, current medications, medical history, mental health screening questionnaires, etc.).
- Consent and policy forms (telehealth consent, privacy policies, practice policies, etc.).
Completing these forms ahead of time helps ensure a smooth and efficient visit.
During the Initial Intake Appointment
During your session, your licensed provider will:
- Conduct a detailed mental health evaluation.
- Review your medical and psychiatric history.
- Discuss possible diagnoses.
- Explore medication options, therapy recommendations, and supportive care.
- Create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
After your intake, you’ll continue with regular telehealth follow-ups, where your provider will:
- Check in on how you’re feeling and how things are progressing.
- Adjust medications or therapeutic approaches as needed.
- Offer guidance and support to help you manage symptoms in a way that fits your life.
- Help you stay aligned with your personal wellness goals.

How do I know if what I’m feeling is depression and not just stress or sadness?
It may be more than “just a rough patch” if you’ve been feeling down, empty, or hopeless most days for at least two weeks, or if you’ve lost interest in things you used to enjoy.
Other common signs include changes in sleep or appetite, low energy, trouble concentrating, or feeling like you’re moving through life on autopilot. If these symptoms are affecting your work, relationships, or daily functioning, it’s a good time to talk with a mental health professional.
Our psychiatric providers offer gentle, nonjudgmental evaluations via secure telehealth for patients in Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Arizona, so you don’t have to figure it out alone. -
What depression treatments do you offer?
Treatment is personalized, but may include:
• Medication management with antidepressants or mood-stabilizing medications, when appropriate
• Ketamine therapy for treatment-resistant depression, when clinically appropriate
• Whole-person support, including sleep, stress, and lifestyle recommendations
Your provider will work with you to create a plan that fits your symptoms, medical history, and goals—not a one-size-fits-all approach. -
What if antidepressants haven’t worked for me in the past?
You’re not alone—many people need more than one approach before they find relief. During your intake, we’ll review your past medication trials, side effects, and any partial benefits you noticed.
From there, your provider may:
• Adjust doses or timing of medications
• Try different medication classes or combinations
• Explore options like ketamine therapy for treatment-resistant depression
• Coordinate therapy referrals for added support
Our goal is to partner with you, listen to your experience, and keep refining your plan until it feels safer, more tolerable, and more effective.
