Depression Treatment

Does life feel overwhelming right now?

Therapy for depression can help if you are struggling with:

  • Feelings of sadness, emptiness or hopelessness

  • Loss of interest in activities, or things that normally bring you pleasure

  • Constant tiredness and lack of energy

  • Anxiety, agitation or restlessness

  • Trouble thinking, concentrating, making decisions and remembering things

  • Angry outbursts, irritability or frustration, even over small matters

Depression can happen to anyone. Your feelings are valid and you are worthy of getting help.

If you're not excited about the life you're living and feel like there must be more, depression counseling may help you

Holistic Depression Treatment

Depression and anxiety often go hand in hand and can impact your whole life – your body, mind, spirit, and relationships. So the treatment needs to benefit a person’s whole life, too.

We can help you address the source of your depression, develop tools and skills to manage your mood, and learn to live with curiosity and self-compassion. 

What to expect from Depression Counseling

Many people come to us feeling heavy, overwhelmed, numb and terribly alone. Working with a therapist to create a depression treatment plan can help you feel better now, and lead to a full and satisfying life in the long-term.

After a few sessions of depression counseling, many of our clients report that they have more energy and their thoughts aren’t as dark. They begin to reach out to friends again, start caring about life, and overall being kinder to themselves.

Through the process of depression therapy, you'll find ways to identify negative thought cycles and notice them sooner, in order to get out of your head and back into life.

You may need some courage to process painful experiences from your past, but a therapist can teach you how to manage those feelings without getting overwhelmed by them.

Ultimately, you'll gain the ability to respond to life's challenges and gain a new sense of hope and curiosity about what the future holds for you.

You may have some questions and concerns about depression treatment…

  • Dealing with depression often means having a lot of uncomfortable feelings like sadness, irritability, self-doubt and self-criticism. These feelings can be caused by situations, relationship problems, or major life events. 

    Some people find that they have physical and physiological issues causing depression symptoms. Chronic stress and immune or endocrine system issues can have major impacts on mood. 

    It is important to not only treat the symptoms, including the emotions, but to also identify and treat the underlying causes of these issues in order to reclaim a sense of well-being.

    Our caring and experienced therapists are here to help. Whatever you are feeling, we will support you as you learn to respond to your feelings, rather than react. You will learn to “ride the wave” of your feelings and work with your emotions instead of suppressing or avoiding them.

    It feels good to know that you are capable of managing your emotions with self-compassion and skill, and we will help you get there.

  • One of the challenges of treating depression is that many people don’t realize that they can feel a whole lot better with depression therapy. While some people may not meet the clinical definitions of anxiety or major depressive disorder, they may experience a chronic, low-grade worry or angst that undermines their everyday well-being. 

    You may experience short depressive episodes, or sense that you are not living the life you’re meant to be living, or generally not feel good about your life. Perhaps you’re feeling heavy, burdened, overwhelmed, and stressed. And you probably feel alone with all of this a lot of the time, am I right? 

    If you feel that way, it makes sense. Life can be really hard sometimes, and even harder to manage when you don’t have energy or support. And here’s the thing: you can have support!

    Coping with depression when you don’t have support can become a vicious cycle of feeling bad about yourself because you feel bad. With the help of depression counseling, you can get out of the cycle of self-criticism and blame and get back to living the life you want to live. We can help you move from problems to possibilities.

  • It can be sad, angering, and overwhelming to see a friend or loved one suffering with anxiety or depression, especially if you don’t know how to help. If someone close to you is dealing with anxiety or depression, we encourage you to seek therapy to explore how to be a supportive presence without sacrificing your own boundaries and well-being.
