DEPRESSION THErAPY
Does Every Day Feel Like a Struggle?
Do you feel weighed down by sadness, fatigue, or a persistent sense of emptiness?
Have you lost interest in the things that once brought you joy and meaning?
Does it seem like no matter what you do, you can’t shake feelings of guilt, hopelessness, or disconnection?
Depression can feel like a heavy fog that settles over everything—your thoughts, your energy, your relationships. Even basic tasks can feel overwhelming, and the world may seem flat, distant, or painful to engage with. Whether your depression is tied to specific life events or seems to appear without a clear cause, the emotional toll is real—and exhausting.
You’re not broken. You’re not alone. And healing is possible.
What Does Depression Really Look Like?
Depression isn’t just about “feeling sad.” It can show up in many different ways—some that are easy to miss or dismiss.
You may be experiencing:
Low energy, constant fatigue, or difficulty getting out of bed
Numbness or emotional disconnection
Changes in appetite, sleep, or concentration
Irritability, guilt, or a harsh inner critic
Withdrawing from people or activities you used to enjoy
Feeling like you’re just going through the motions
For many, depression is not just emotional—it’s physical, relational, and deeply personal. That’s why the most effective therapy for depression addresses both the root causes and the day-to-day symptoms.
A Holistic Approach to Depression Therapy
My approach to depression therapy blends compassionate support with proven tools to help you feel better—and rebuild your life from the inside out.
Together we will work to:
-
Understand What’s Beneath the Surface
Depression can be a signal—not just a symptom. We’ll explore the deeper emotions, beliefs, or life patterns that may be contributing to your pain.
-
Build Nervous System Resilience
Chronic stress and emotional overwhelm can keep your nervous system stuck in shutdown or overdrive. We’ll use grounding and somatic tools to help you regulate and reconnect.
-
Challenge Negative Thinking Loops
Depression often comes with a harsh inner voice or sense of worthlessness. Utilizing modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) you’ll learn how to identify and shift these patterns—without toxic positivity or judgment.
-
Heal Core Wounds
Using trauma-informed approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS) or Post Induction Therapy (PIT), we can work through unresolved pain from the past that may still be impacting your present.
-
Strengthen Daily Coping and Self-Compassion
You’ll gain practical strategies to improve mood, energy, and emotional regulation—while also learning to treat yourself with the kindness you deserve.
What You Can Expect in Therapy
Therapy for depression isn’t about “fixing” you or forcing you to be cheerful. It’s about helping you reconnect—with yourself, with your life, and with a sense of possibility.
In our work together, you can expect to:
Feel truly heard, seen, and understood—without judgment
Understand what’s keeping you stuck and how to move through it
Learn tools to manage emotions, energy, and overwhelm
Address both the emotional and physical dimensions of depression
Create a foundation for long-term healing and well-being
Whether your depression is new, chronic, or part of a larger cycle, therapy can help you stop surviving—and start living again.
Common Questions About Depression Therapy
-
Will therapy just make me talk about painful things?
Therapy is always paced at your comfort level. We’ll explore difficult emotions only when you’re ready, and always with the goal of healing—not rehashing. In fact, many clients find that naming their pain gently and safely helps lighten its grip.
-
I’ve tried therapy before and didn’t feel better. What makes this different?
Not all therapy is the same. My approach is trauma-informed and integrates both cognitive and body-based techniques to support lasting change. Using tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and somatic awareness, we address emotional patterns at the root. We also focus on actionable steps to help you feel more empowered in your daily life—so you can begin creating real, meaningful change outside of the therapy room. Healing happens when your whole system—mind and body—feels safe, supported, and seen.
-
How long will it take to feel better?
Every healing journey is unique. Some clients begin to feel relief within a few sessions, while others may need longer-term support. Our focus will be on sustainable, meaningful progress—not a quick fix.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Depression lies. It tells you that things will never change, that you’re a burden, that your life doesn’t matter.
But those are not truths—they’re symptoms.
You are still here. You are still worthy. And there is a path forward.
Let’s take the next step together.
