Common questions
Should I try therapy, medication, or both?
Both can help, and many people benefit from a combination. A therapist can talk through your options and coordinate with a prescriber if medication is part of your care.
What if I am in crisis right now?
If you are thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at any hour, or call 911 in an emergency.
How does Tandem verify these depression therapists?
Before anyone is listed, Tandem confirms an active California license, documented training in their stated specialty, and the state licensing board record. Profiles are reviewed again when anything changes.
