Serving Southlake, TX

Depression counseling near Southlake in person and online.


Southlake’s rapid growth has created a unique challenge for mental health: a community built on achievement where struggling often feels like falling behind. The pressure to maintain success—whether in school, career, or family life—can make depression feel especially isolating. Many residents internalize the expectation that things should be going well, making it harder to reach out when they’re not. In a town where the image of thriving is everywhere, the reality of depression can feel like a secret you carry alone.

MindLift Alliance understands the Southlake experience and serves clients both in person at our McKinney office (8951 Collin McKinney Pkwy, Suite 801) and through telehealth anywhere in Texas. We accept most insurance plans and match new clients with a counselor within one business day. If you or a family member would benefit from counseling in English or Mandarin, we’re here to help without judgment.

How we treat depression

Evidence-based approaches for lasting change.


Depression is not a character flaw and it does not resolve on its own. Our therapists use proven, evidence-based methods tailored to your specific presentation and life context.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Identifies and changes the negative thought patterns and behaviors that maintain depression. One of the most well-researched treatments for depression.

Behavioral Activation

Addresses the withdrawal and inactivity that depression creates by gradually re-engaging with meaningful activities and rebuilding a sense of purpose.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

For depression rooted in relationship dynamics and attachment patterns. Helps you understand and shift emotional patterns that keep you stuck.

Trauma-Informed Care

For depression with roots in past trauma or adverse experiences. A compassionate approach that works at your pace and prioritizes safety.

Depression is more than feeling sad. Common signs include persistent low mood most days, loss of interest in things you used to enjoy, changes in sleep or appetite, low energy, difficulty concentrating, feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness, and withdrawing from people and activities. Some people also notice physical symptoms like headaches or digestive issues. You do not need a formal diagnosis to reach out. If you have been feeling this way for more than two weeks and it is affecting your daily life, talking to a therapist is a reasonable and helpful next step. Call us at 972-855-8183 or book at therapyportal.com/p/mindlift.
Depression counseling (therapy) helps you understand and change the thought patterns, behaviors, and life circumstances contributing to your depression. It builds lasting skills and insight. Antidepressant medication addresses the neurochemical side of depression and is prescribed by a psychiatrist or physician. Research consistently shows that a combination of therapy and medication is more effective than either alone for moderate to severe depression. MindLift Alliance provides therapy only. If you are interested in medication as well, we can help coordinate care with your doctor or refer you to a psychiatrist.
Yes. Founder Ally Wang, LPC, offers bilingual depression counseling in English and Mandarin. For Mandarin-speaking clients in Southlake and across North Texas, including Richardson, Carrollton, Plano, and Coppell, this means the option to talk about depression in your first language. Depression is often shaped by cultural context, family expectations, and generational patterns that are easier to explore in the language they were formed in. Bilingual sessions are available for individuals. Let us know your language preference when you reach out and we will match you with Ally directly.
The length of depression counseling depends on the type and severity of your depression, your goals, and how you respond to treatment. Many clients begin to notice meaningful improvement within 8 to 16 sessions. Some prefer a focused, shorter course of therapy. Others benefit from longer-term support, especially if depression has been present for years or involves complex underlying factors. Your therapist will set goals with you, track progress, and adjust the approach as needed. The most important step is starting. Book your first session at therapyportal.com/p/mindlift or call 972-855-8183.
