Olympic Behavioral Health Treats Depression in Lantana, Florida
Olympic Behavioral Health treats depression at every outpatient level of care. Mood disorder treatment combines psychiatry, weekly individual therapy and daily group hours for each adult.
Average length of stay in depression treatment is 30 to 45 days at partial hospitalization and at intensive outpatient.
An estimated 21.0 million adults in the United States, 8.3 percent, had at least one major depressive episode, on National Institute of Mental Health figures from the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. In Palm Beach County, 14.1 percent of adults have ever been told they have a depressive disorder, against 17.8 percent across Florida, on Florida Department of Health Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System figures for 2022.
Olympic Behavioral Health holds a mental health license from the Florida Department of Children and Families, and depression is treated under it. Adults travel in from West Palm Beach, Lake Worth and Boynton Beach for mental health treatment.
You Do Not Have to Feel Like It First
The Order Is BackwardsDepression reverses the usual order. Energy arrives after the doing, not before it, which is why waiting to feel ready never seems to work. Pick whichever you have been waiting on.

When to Get Help
Olympic Behavioral Health Admits Adults 18 to 65 for Outpatient Depression Treatment
Olympic Behavioral Health admits each adult into outpatient depression treatment after a phone assessment and a clinical review signed by the clinical director. Admission needs medical stability, so anyone facing withdrawal completes a coordinated medical detox first.
Treatment centers for depression differ most on who they admit. The Olympic Behavioral Health assessment asks each caller about five things:
- ✓Weekly therapy has run for months and the low mood has not shifted
- ✓An outside prescriber manages medication with no clinical team around it
- ✓Sleep, appetite and concentration changed and stayed changed
- ✓A diagnosis exists on paper with no written treatment plan behind it
- ✓Medical stability and the ability to reach groups in person
Find Out What Is Payable Before Admission
Free, confidential and no obligation. Olympic Behavioral Health confirms depression benefits before anything begins.
What to Expect
Depression Therapy in Palm Beach County With a Therapist and a Prescriber
A depression therapist and a certified family nurse practitioner hold one file, so each adult in depression therapy repeats their psychiatric history once and not twice.
Olympic Behavioral Health gives each adult admitted for depression a case manager, a primary therapist, a trauma assessment and a psychiatry booking on day one. The partial hospitalization group day then runs 9 AM to 3:30 PM, and intensive outpatient runs 9 AM to 12 PM. Week two brings a medication review and a written revision of the plan. Every week after that holds three fixed appointments:
- ✓Medication management with the nurse practitioner on site
- ✓One individual session of 50 minutes to 1 hour with the primary therapist
- ✓Daily mental health groups on coping skills and relapse prevention
Family therapy runs weekly for depression clients, and relatives attend a family meeting Monday from 7 PM to 9 PM.
Levels of Care
Olympic Behavioral Health IOP, PHP and OP Hours Against a Working Week
Olympic Behavioral Health runs depression treatment at three levels of care and matches each adult to the one that fits their working week. Partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient differ in hours and schedule, and the same therapist and prescriber stay as those hours step down.
| Level of Care | Hours / Week | Schedule | Depression Components | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PHP, Partial Hospitalization | 30+ hours | Seven days. 9 AM to 3:30 PM weekdays, 10 AM to 1 PM weekends | Daily mental health groups, psychiatry, individual and family therapy | A year of weekly sessions with no change |
| IOP, Intensive Outpatient | 9 to 12 hours | Mon to Sat, 9 AM to 12 PM | Depression groups, individual therapy, medication management | Holding a job while a prescription is titrated |
| OP, Outpatient | 4 hours | Once weekly, 3-hour group | Weekly group therapy and long-term relapse prevention | Maintenance after a depression IOP, psychiatry continuing |
Fifty minutes a week with a private depression therapist gives a person 43 hours a year. One partial hospitalization week gives 30.
When outpatient is not the right level. Where safety or daily medical monitoring is the real need, Olympic Behavioral Health refers the person to a higher level of care than outpatient depression treatment, decided on the first call.
Start Depression Treatment This Week
The Olympic Behavioral Health admissions team answers depression calls Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. Insurance verification costs nothing and next-day arrival is the usual alternative.
Evidence-Based Therapies
Which Therapies the Depression Treatment Program Uses in Each Session
Olympic Behavioral Health runs eight therapies in the depression treatment program. Cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, neurofeedback, group therapy, art therapy with mindfulness, motivational interviewing and cognitive processing therapy all appear on plans built from the intake assessment rather than from a template. A day-one trauma assessment decides whether EMDR enters a plan.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
DBT teaches four skill sets: distress tolerance, emotion regulation, mindfulness and interpersonal effectiveness. Depression clients attend DBT skills training as a mental health group.
EMDR for Trauma-Linked Depression
EMDR is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, a trauma therapy that drains the charge from one specific memory. Trauma-linked depression is the presentation EMDR treats.
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback trains brainwave activity using real-time feedback on a screen. A depression plan runs neurofeedback alongside trauma therapy rather than in place of it.
Group Therapy
Group therapy splits into mental health, dual diagnosis and substance abuse tracks. A depression client sits with adults on the same diagnosis.
Art Therapy and Mindfulness
Art therapy uses making instead of talking. Mindfulness training teaches attention to the present moment without judgment. Both run weekly for adults in depression treatment.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing addresses the adult who booked a depression assessment and then wanted to cancel it. The therapist works with the ambivalence instead of arguing against it.
Cognitive Processing Therapy
Cognitive processing therapy targets the belief a past event installed. Clients whose depression sits on unresolved trauma receive it alongside EMDR.
Olympic Behavioral Health names which of these therapies a depression plan starts with before the first group.
Conditions Treated
Dysthymia Treatment and the Diagnoses That Arrive With Depression
Olympic Behavioral Health treats five diagnoses alongside depression. Persistent depressive disorder, anxiety, bipolar disorder, postpartum depression and treatment-resistant depression all sit on one written treatment plan, which carries every diagnosis a person brings.
Dysthymia and Persistent Depressive Disorder
Dysthymia treatment reaches adults whose depression has run at low grade for two years. Persistent depressive disorder is its clinical name, treated on the same plan as major depressive disorder.
Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety disorders are named as a second diagnosis on the same written plan as depression, and the same group hours work on each.
Bipolar Treatment
Bipolar disorder is treated with psychiatric medication management and DBT skills programming. A depressive episode inside bipolar needs different prescribing, so the diagnosis is confirmed first.
Postpartum Depression Treatment
A new mother is treated for postpartum depression as a distinct presentation, with its own therapy focus and medication review.
Treatment-Resistant Depression
Treatment-resistant depression is treated at Olympic Behavioral Health as its own presentation, not as a failed version of the same plan. The nurse practitioner reviews the medication history at intake, and the clinical team changes the therapy method rather than repeating it.
Olympic Behavioral Health treats depression co-occurring with a substance use disorder through the dual diagnosis program, and PTSD through the trauma track.
Insurance
What Depression Treatment in Florida Costs and Which Plans Pay for It
Insurance pays for depression treatment in Florida as an outpatient behavioral health benefit. Olympic Behavioral Health is in-network with TRICARE and works PPO plans through out-of-network benefits, and each caller gets the benefit check free of charge with no obligation.
TRICARE covers active-duty military, veterans and their families. Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, UMR, GEHA, Humana and Anthem pay through out-of-network PPO benefits. What a plan pays turns on the level of care and the deductible, so each client is told their responsibility in writing before depression treatment begins.
INSURANCES WE ACCEPTTRICARE is the only in-network plan. Every other payer listed is accepted at Olympic Behavioral Health through out-of-network PPO benefits, confirmed in writing before admission. Medicare and Medicaid are not accepted.

Why Olympic Behavioral Health
Mental Health Facilities for Depression Compared on What They Keep In-House
Depression treatment centers usually send psychiatry to an outside practice, so a therapy session and a prescription change sit with two separate providers. Olympic Behavioral Health keeps both under one license. Six differences follow.
Psychiatry Inside the Program
Sabina D. Thomas, APRN, FNP-C, runs in-house medication management for depression, and Dr. Maryam Davari, a board-certified psychiatrist, is medical director. A prescription change follows the therapist raising the question.
Licensed for Mental Health by DCF
The Florida Department of Children and Families licenses Olympic Behavioral Health for mental health and substance abuse, so depression and a substance use disorder sit on one plan.
1:1 Staff Ratio
One staff member per client on the roster. A drop in mood is noticed the same day in depression treatment, before it becomes a missed week.
A True Outpatient Model
Clients keep phone access while attending a structured depression treatment program. Evening meetings run Monday through Friday, and the mental health track attends through NAMI.
TRICARE In-Network
TRICARE benefits for depression treatment are verified directly with the contractor at no cost to the client or family.
Accredited and Certified
JCAHO accredited, DCF licensed, FARR approved, LegitScript certified, NAATP member and BBB A+.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Adults Who Already Tried Something Ask Before Starting
Olympic Behavioral Health answers seven questions below on depression treatment. The seven cover therapy, session length, cost, starting in Lantana, what happens when therapy has not worked, payment and location.
How does therapy help in the treatment of depression?
Depression counseling here runs on cognitive behavioral therapy, which surfaces the thoughts behind low mood and tests them against evidence. In the weekly individual therapy session at Olympic Behavioral Health, each client reports what shifted that week, and the primary therapist rewrites the treatment plan on it.
How long is a therapy session for depression?
Each client gets one individual session of 50 minutes to 1 hour every week, at every level of care at Olympic Behavioral Health. Group hours stack on top, from 4 hours a week in outpatient to 30 in partial hospitalization.
How much does depression treatment cost?
Cost depends on the level of care, the plan, and the deductible, so no honest figure exists before verification. Olympic Behavioral Health checks benefits free of charge and tells each caller their responsibility before admission. TRICARE pays in-network; PPO plans out-of-network.
How do you get treatment for depression in Lantana?
Call 561-272-0800. The admissions team at Olympic Behavioral Health gives the caller a phone assessment, verifies insurance and books a start date, usually inside 30 minutes. Treatment runs from one outpatient site in Lantana, with same-day admission available when criteria are met.
What happens when therapy does not work for depression?
Frequency changes before the therapist does. Olympic Behavioral Health moves a person from one session a week to 9 or more group hours, adds medication management and a day-one trauma assessment, and refers out where daily medical monitoring is needed.
How do you pay for depression treatment?
Most clients pay through insurance. TRICARE is the in-network plan at Olympic Behavioral Health, and PPO policies including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare pay out-of-network. Verification takes minutes, carries no obligation, and Medicare and Medicaid are not accepted.
Where is depression treatment near West Palm Beach?
Olympic Behavioral Health runs its depression treatment program from Lantana, roughly 12 miles south of downtown West Palm Beach and minutes from Lake Worth and Boynton Beach. Clients reach the building from I-95 exit 61, and the airport is 10 miles away.

Truly changed my life. Came from residential program feeling ready to return home but decided to step to Olympic before I made the journey home. Best decision I ever made. It truly strengthened everything I learned and provides an opportunity to put it into practice. If you come with the right mindset and attitude you will truly be grateful. Love all the staff and alumni the support is truly out of this world. Love you and miss you guys!

Olympic saved my life! When I first got there, I was absolutely against it, but Meg and her crew did some things different for me and made the place to fit me so that I would stay. They made me feel welcome and comfortable Which is hard to do! But it’s been amazing success that we had is truly unprecedented. They’re friendly and they know what they’re doing. God bless them!
