Therapy for Depression

Are you feeling hopeless, worthless, or not like yourself? Do you feel numb, sad all of the time, or that you no longer care about the things you used to love?

Depression can shut down life and shut out what we love.

Depression, the most prevalent mental health disorder, is a mood disorder that prevents an individual from living a normal, healthy life. While daily up and down shifts in mood or short-term emotional responses to life events are healthy, depression can cause significant disruption in every aspect of life, including work, school, relationships, and impair everyday functioning to the point that affected individuals struggle to care for themselves and others.

Depression, like most other mental health disorders, can have a complex mix of contributing biological, environmental, and psychosocial factors.

Symptoms of depression include:

Feeling hopeless, worthless, guilty
Isolating, withdrawing from friends and family
Crying more than usual
Physical pain, heaviness, body aches
Changes in sleeping and eating patterns
Feeling like you are not yourself, feeling lost

Therapy can help individuals explore and address the causes and effects of depression, while providing support and understanding.

For example, together we can explore core beliefs (I am not lovable, I am not enough), maladaptive thought patterns (all-or-nothing thinking, discounting the positive), attachment wounds, traumatic experiences, family and relational dynamics in order to help you better understand the obstacles in your life and empower you to find hope, meaning, purpose, and work toward living a life without depression.

So often depression makes us feel alone, and our society can make you feel that depression is something to be ashamed of - but you are not alone, asking for help is a brave and amazing act of self-love, and there is hope.
