Our Approach to Depression Care
Jackson House El Centro focuses on providing personalized depression treatment to support individuals in regaining control, experiencing relief, and enjoying improved mental health. The following are among the treatment modalities we use in providing care:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
A talk therapy, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) is for helping individuals recognize negative thought patterns and actions that impact self-perception. This therapeutic approach is offered to support the development of coping skills and thought improvement.
DBT
DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) is a talk therapy for supporting those with strong emotional responses. Based on CBT, this approach is for helping individuals accept difficult feelings and make positive decisions. Integrated into this therapy is skill-building for mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal communication.
Medication Management Services
Professional medication management is an important service offered at Jackson House El Centro. The prescription and administration of medications is based on client circumstances and handled on an individual basis.
Stress Management Care

Dual Diagnosis Treatment
A mental illness such as depression is sometimes accompanied by a substance use disorder. This combination is referred to as a co-occurring condition or dual diagnosis.
Our team offers dual diagnosis treatment, offering care for the mental illness and substance use disorder at the same time. Jackson House El Centro and other Jackson House locations offering mental health treatment are connected to Jackson House Addiction Recovery Centers in San Diego, a substance addiction treatment provider.
