Depression therapy in Boise
Depression lies. It says nothing will help and that you should handle it alone. If you've read this far, some part of you disagrees. Start there.
Does this sound familiar?
- Things you used to enjoy feel flat or pointless
- Getting through the day takes everything you have
- You sleep too much or too little, and never feel rested
- You're harder on yourself than you'd ever be on anyone else
- You've pulled away from people, and then feel worse for it
- You feel numb, heavy, or hopeless more days than not
You don't need to check every box, and you don't need a diagnosis to reach out.
How we treat depression
Depression narrows your world. Therapy widens it back out, step by step. We work on the thinking that keeps you stuck, the habits that have slipped, and the relationships and losses underneath. You set the pace, and we don't ask you to perform being okay.
The approaches we use
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and behavioral activation, which rebuilds momentum through small, doable actions. Attachment-based and emotionally focused work when depression grows out of disconnection or grief. Trauma-focused approaches like EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy when past experiences are feeding it.

Common questions
Is it depression or just a rough patch?
If low mood has lasted more than a couple of weeks and is affecting your sleep, energy, work, or relationships, it's worth talking to someone. You don't have to be sure before you reach out.
Will I have to take medication?
Therapy works on its own for many people. If medication might help, we'll talk it through and can coordinate with your doctor or a prescriber. The decision is always yours.
How long does treatment take?
Many people feel noticeably better within a few months of weekly sessions. Longer-standing depression can take longer. We'll check progress together along the way.
Does insurance cover this?
Yes for most plans, including Idaho Medicaid. If you're paying out of pocket, ask about our sliding fee scale. See fees and insurance.
