Depression Management
Depression can affect how you think, feel, and function day to day. It may show up as persistent sadness, low motivation, fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, irritability, or a sense of hopelessness or disconnection. For children, teens, and adults alike, depression can quietly interfere with relationships, school, work, and overall quality of life.
Depression therapy may help if you or your loved one are experiencing:
Ongoing sadness, tearfulness, or emotional numbness
Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed
Low energy, motivation, or concentration
Feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or shame
Changes in sleep or appetite
Withdrawal from friends, family, or daily routines
Irritability, especially in children and teens
Our approach to depression therapy includes:
A supportive, collaborative therapeutic relationship
Identifying patterns that contribute to low mood and emotional shutdown
Evidence-based strategies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-informed interventions
Building coping skills, emotional awareness, and resilience
Helping clients reconnect with meaning, purpose, and a sense of self
Depression is not a personal failure, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy provides a space to feel understood, supported, and guided toward meaningful change. With the right support, it is possible to feel more engaged, hopeful, and connected in daily life.
