How depression care begins
A psychiatric evaluation explores your current depression concerns, history, health context, and goals. The conversation helps guide a plan instead of assuming one approach fits everyone.
Learn about psychiatric evaluation →Treatment and follow-up
Planning depression follow-up
A plan may include education, psychotherapy when appropriate, referral when another service is needed, medication management when clinically appropriate, and follow-up to review changes. Medication choices are shared clinical decisions and no prescription is guaranteed.

Questions to bring when mood or energy has changed.
Consider when the change began, whether interest or pleasure has shifted, how sleep and daily responsibilities are going, and whether you have had periods of unusually elevated energy or less need for sleep. Mention any safety concerns promptly. These details can help a clinician consider the broader picture rather than assuming every low-energy period has the same cause.

Local access
Depression care from a Lenexa practice.
House of Haven offers in-person and telehealth appointments and lists one practice address: 13830 Santa Fe Trail Drive, STE 106, Lenexa, KS 66215. From Overland Park, Shawnee, Olathe, Prairie Village or elsewhere in Johnson County, confirm that your specific appointment is in person before traveling to Lenexa.
From Kansas City, Kansas or elsewhere in Wyandotte County, there is no second House of Haven office. Missouri residents may ask about an eligible in-person Lenexa visit, but telehealth is unavailable while physically in Missouri. Video care is an option for eligible Kansas residents physically in Kansas at visit time; confirm service fit. Adults can check Headway for displayed slots; families scheduling for ages 10–17 can call the office.

Book Online (18+)What it can feel like
Depression does not always look like falling apart.
Some people with depression withdraw. Others keep working, caregiving, studying, or showing up while feeling disconnected inside. Your experience deserves to be taken seriously.
Looking okay is not the same as feeling okay.
When you are used to being the strong one, it can be hard to say how much effort it takes to get through the day. Care can help you name what is happening and consider support that fits.
Depression can overlap with burnout and ADHD.
Burnout, ADHD, anxiety, sleep problems, and medical concerns can all affect energy, focus, motivation, and mood. A psychiatric evaluation helps clarify the pattern.
Treatment starts with understanding the whole picture.
Depression care may include education, psychotherapy when appropriate, referral when another service is needed, medication management, and follow-up care.
Medication decisions should be thoughtful.
Medication can be helpful for depression when clinically appropriate. Niesha will discuss options, possible benefits, risks, side effects, and follow-up.
Work + mental health
If symptoms are affecting your ability to work.
If depression symptoms are interfering with work or daily life, consider an ordinary psychiatric evaluation. FMLA and disability documentation services are available only to established House of Haven patients, when clinically appropriate; starting care does not guarantee future paperwork.

FAQ
What if I am still functioning?
You do not have to be in crisis for depression to matter. If mood, energy, interest, sleep, or concentration have changed, it is worth talking with a qualified provider.
Can depression affect focus?
Yes. Depression can affect attention, memory, motivation, and follow-through.
How do I schedule?
Adults can use Headway for online scheduling. For patients ages 10–17, parents or legal guardians should call 913-430-8911 to arrange care.
