Depression
We Specialize in Therapy for Depression
Many people have described depression as a dark cloud that comes over ones life without reason, blocking the sun. This experience is often described as sadness, an inability to feel pleasure, feeling low or down, and a lack of motivation or energy. Although we all experience feeling down or “blue,” depression is much more persistent and should not be considered as weakness or something you can simply “get over.” Depression is the most common issue in the U.S., affecting more than 16 million adults in the U.S. in 2016, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. There are different forms of depression, such as Major Depressive Disorder and Seasonal Affective Disorder, which is based on seasonal changes. Due to its commonality, we want to help you get back into the sunshine and reconnect with yourself. No one should suffer alone, and that is why we are here to help.

We want to support you in getting through this. There are numerous reasons and combinations of factors that contribute to the onset of depression, such as genetics, trauma, environmental factors, and more. Even in more severe cases, depression can be managed and treated, and we don’t want you doing so alone. There are many treatments that deal with depression, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), meditation, and medication. Medication is often used to alleviate certain symptoms, while psychotherapy helps with the disruption of negative thought patterns that may prevent future depressive episodes.
