Reply to comment by Evening_Attention_45 in Why is it so hard to find a therapist who actually helps treat depression? by [deleted]

Depression, like many other mental illnesses, come in a spectrum. It can be occasionally noticeable to debilitating every day. It varies a lot. Talk therapy may be a fine intervention by itself for folks at one end of the spectrum, but not the other. It may be a good intervention in conjunction with other treatments (trauma therapy, behavioral therapy, etc.)

Just because you may need something else, doesn’t mean therapists can’t ever treat depression.

I would like to find a therapist adept at having the skills to pull in different modalities and make adjustments if the patient isn't responding. Mine wasn't so I'm trying to find someone new who has more experience and isn't one size fits all.

My friend, you are describing exactly what that clinic does.

So it’s a team of people instead of just one? Who cares?
