Indeed, but be aware that therapy is not necessarily a cure, nor does it work for everyone. The success rate is about the same as for meds. While cognitive/behavioural/mindfulness therapies can be at least as effective as antidepressants, they are still only classed as treatments. This isn't a commentary on them per se, but on human nature. The techniques taught need continual application and we tend to slip back into old habits over time.
