Frequently Asked Questions
Can online therapy really help with depression?
Yes. Multiple studies show online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy for treating depression. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches that are proven to work.
How long does depression therapy take?
Most people begin to feel improvement within 4-6 weeks of regular therapy. A typical course of treatment is 12-16 sessions, though this varies by individual.
Do I need medication for depression?
Not necessarily. Many people benefit from therapy alone. If medication may help, we can coordinate with your physician or psychiatrist.
What if I am in crisis?
If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. You can also call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or the Georgia Crisis Line at 1-800-715-4225.
