Depression Treatment
At Laguna Shores Mental Health, we understand that depression can feel like an overwhelming battle. Whether you’re dealing with persistent sadness, fatigue, or feelings of hopelessness, you don’t have to face it alone.
Our team of compassionate professionals is dedicated to providing comprehensive care to help adults 18 and older navigate their mental health challenges. As a brand-new residential facility in Southern California, with a primary focus on mental health, we aim to create a sanctuary where individuals can find hope, healing, and lasting recovery.
Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a rough day—it’s a serious mental health condition that affects millions of people across the United States. Over 21 million adults in the U.S. have experienced at least one major depressive episode, according to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Depression can impact every part of life, from daily functioning to personal relationships, making it crucial to seek professional help.
Common Symptoms of Depression
- Persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Sleep disturbances, such as insomnia or oversleeping
- Fatigue or lack of energy
- Difficulty concentrating
- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
- Thoughts of death or suicide
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, it’s essential to reach out for professional help. Depression is treatable, and with the right support, recovery is possible.
Treatment for
Depression at Laguna Mental Health
At Laguna Mental Health, we’re committed to offering a comprehensive, individualized approach to depression treatment. While our exact treatment modalities are still being finalized, we plan to offer a range of therapies designed to address both the emotional and physical symptoms of depression.
Counseling for Depression
One of the core components of depression treatment is counseling. Our highly trained therapists will work closely with residents to identify the underlying causes of their depression and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Therapeutic approaches may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This evidence-based approach helps individuals recognize negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more positive ones.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT teaches skills like mindfulness and emotional regulation, which are particularly helpful for those struggling with depression.
Trauma-Informed Therapy: Since depression often coexists with past trauma, our team will use trauma-informed care to address and heal unresolved traumatic experiences that may be contributing to depressive symptoms.
Inpatient Therapy for Depression
Our residential setting allows for intensive, around-the-clock care. Inpatient therapy for depression provides a structured environment where clients can focus entirely on their recovery. This 24/7 support is crucial for those whose depression has made daily functioning difficult. Inpatient care at Laguna Mental Health includes:
- Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist to dive deep into the personal aspects of each client’s depression.
- Group Therapy: Led by a trained facilitator, group sessions offer a safe space for residents to share their experiences, learn from others, and build supportive relationships.
- Holistic Approaches: While programming is still being finalized, we hope to offer additional holistic therapies such as mindfulness, meditation, and possibly art or music therapy to complement traditional talk therapy.
Addressing Co-Occurring Disorders
Depression often occurs alongside other mental health conditions such as anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and substance use disorders. At Laguna Mental Health Facility, we are prepared to treat these co-occurring disorders by providing integrated care that addresses both mental health and substance use concerns. Our holistic approach ensures that all aspects of a client’s well-being are considered, helping to improve overall outcomes and reduce the risk of relapse. By treating both depression and substance use simultaneously, we aim to offer a comprehensive path to long-term recovery and wellness.

- In 2022, an estimated 4% of all U.S. adults had at least one major depressive episode, according to the NIMH.
