How We Treat Teen Depression in Lake Forest
We work closely with you to identify the most effective approach, whether that involves medication, therapy, or a non-medication option.
Adolescent psychiatry and medication management
Our psychiatrists evaluate your teen’s symptoms, history, and goals, and talk through whether medication could be part of the plan. Any decision about medication is made together with your teen and family.
Teen therapy
Licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches such as CBT and DBT to help teens identify negative thought patterns, build coping skills, and regulate emotions. Sessions are available in person or virtually.
TMS therapy for eligible teens
NWS’s teen TMS program serves teens and young adults ages 15-21. Our clinicians determine whether TMS is appropriate for an individual teen after a full evaluation.
