Who would you see? Work one-on-one with a registered nurse wellness coach to better understand your depression and how your lifestyle habits affect your mood.

You may also see a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner for medication management, if needed.
What is the goal? Develop confidence in your ability to manage your depression by learning lifestyle skills that can help you achieve a better balance in your mood and your life. Decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve your daily function through psychotherapy and/or medication.
