Do I still need therapy if medication is working?

Need? Not always. Benefit from? Usually. Medication quiets the symptoms; therapy rewires the patterns that feed them. The research is consistent that the combination beats either alone for moderate-to-severe depression and anxiety, including fewer relapses after medication ends (NIMH on psychotherapies).

A common arc: medication stabilizes things, then a 12-20 session course of therapy builds what lasts. Our therapists share a chart with your prescriber, so adding therapy is a handoff, not a second intake from scratch.
