Depression can be more than simply feeling sad or having bad days. It can impact how you feel and think and interfere with daily activities. It can also impact relationships, career, sleep and health.

However, compassionate and personalized care that is evidence-based can help you rediscover your light and hope and get on the road to healing.
And at Ann Arbor Therapy & Testing, we provide a variety of customized, evidence-based treatment options for people suffering with depression.
You are not alone and healing is possible.

Effective treatment for depression
Depression can be treated a variety of ways and each person’s experience is unique and is treated as such at Ann Arbor Therapy and Testing.
One such way that is proven to be effective in treating depression is cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT.
CBT is a treatment that works to help patients identify and challenge thought patterns that are negative that often fuel depression. It works to reframe negative thoughts such as, “Bad things always happen to me,” or “I am not worthy,” with more realistic thoughts.
CBT is beneficial to many people on its own or combined with other modalities like mindfulness therapy or solution-focused therapy.
Our trained therapists work close with each patient to determine the best treatment pathway based on needs, goals, lifestyle and life experiences.
Further, everything we do is rooted in compassion. Depression can ignite feelings of guilt and shame, making compassionate treatment even more vital. Every patient feels validated, heard and cared about at Ann Arbor Therapy and Testing.
Making a sense of connection is of the utmost importance and can be imperative to successful treatment.
Our therapy also focuses on lifestyle changes for meaningful progress over time and long-term improvement.
