Millions of people across the state live with depression, and knowing when to seek help is a powerful first step. If you’ve been feeling persistently down, disconnected from the things you once loved, struggling with sleep, or finding it hard to focus, you’re not alone—and you’re not without options. Our dedicated team will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that helps you understand your symptoms, develop practical coping strategies, and move forward with clarity and hope.
Understanding Depression and Its Impact
Depression is more than just feeling down or having a tough day—it’s a serious mental health condition that can affect every part of your life, from how you think and feel to how you function day to day. In a fast-paced state like California, where stress can be constant and expectations are high, depression can take a real toll on your well-being, your relationships, and your ability to keep up with life’s demands.
At Modern Psychiatry, we understand that depression doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some people experience intense, episodic lows, while others may face a more ongoing, persistent sadness or seasonal shifts that impact their mood and energy. No matter what type of depression you’re dealing with, our teletherapy services make it easier to get the care you need—securely and conveniently—from wherever you are in California. We’re here to help you navigate what you’re going through with compassion, expertise, and personalized support.
Comprehensive Teletherapy Services
At Modern Psychiatry, we offer evidence-based depression treatment through secure, HIPAA-compliant teletherapy—bringing high-quality mental health care directly to you. Our virtual approach makes it easier to get the support you need without sacrificing the effectiveness of traditional in-person therapy. For many people across California, this kind of care is a lifeline—especially when busy schedules, transportation challenges, or concerns about stigma make in-person visits difficult.
Our teletherapy services are available to individuals across the state—from the busy streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco to quieter towns throughout the Central Valley and beyond. No matter where you’re located, our goal is to make sure that distance never stands in the way of receiving compassionate, professional care. With Modern Psychiatry, help is always within reach.
Evidence-Based Treatment Approaches
At Modern Psychiatry, we tailor each depression treatment plan to fit your unique needs, goals, and preferences. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) often serves as a foundation—helping you recognize and shift negative thought patterns—we also draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches. These may include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based practices, and interpersonal therapy, depending on what’s most helpful for you.
Our psychiatrists take a thoughtful, collaborative approach to care. We don’t just focus on easing immediate symptoms—we also work with you to understand the deeper factors that may be contributing to your depression. By addressing both the surface and root causes, we aim to support real, lasting healing and help you move toward a healthier, more balanced life.

What to Expect During Treatment
We know that starting treatment for depression can feel like a big—and sometimes intimidating—step. That’s why we do everything we can to make the process feel safe, welcoming, and easy to navigate. It all begins with a conversation. During your first appointment, we’ll take the time to really get to know you—talking about what you’ve been experiencing, your medical history, and what you hope to get out of treatment. This helps us create a care plan that’s genuinely tailored to you.
As you move forward, you’ll meet regularly with a therapist or psychiatrist who’s there to support you—not just clinically, but as a consistent, compassionate presence on your journey. Your sessions will be a space to work through tough emotions, build helpful coping strategies, and take steady steps toward feeling better. And between sessions, we’ll make sure you have the tools, resources, and encouragement you need to stay grounded and keep making progress in your daily life
