Therapy for Depression
You can feel connected to yourself and your life again.
Lately, you’ve been going through the motions, feeling disconnected from yourself, from others, or from the life you used to enjoy. Some days just getting out of bed feels like too much.
You’re not broken, and you don’t have to “just cope” anymore. Our therapists help people just like you struggling with depression to find real relief and reconnect with what matters.
Maybe you've been feeling "off" for a while, but can't quite put your finger on what's wrong.
You might catch yourself wondering, “Why can’t I just snap out of this?” or “Shouldn’t I be handling this better?” But here’s what we know: depression doesn’t always look the way people expect it to.
You might be experiencing:
- Exhaustion that doesn't go away no matter how much you rest
- Physical symptoms like headaches or unexplained aches and pains
- Trouble focusing or making decisions even about simple things
- Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy that feel out of your control
- Irritability or withdrawing from people and activities
- A persistent sense of hopelessness or questioning your worth
- Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected from things you used to enjoy
And when nothing seems to help, you might start wondering if there’s something fundamentally wrong with you. But trust us, there isn’t.
Depression doesn’t always come from one clear event. Sometimes it builds slowly, layered under burnout, chronic stress, past trauma, or the weight of constantly showing up for everyone else.
Your brain isn’t broken. It’s actually trying to protect you in the only way it knows how right now.
You deserve to feel hope and excitement again.
It may not seem possible at this moment, but with support from depression therapists like the ones on our team, you can feel more like yourself again.

We’re here to help you listen to what your mind and body are trying to tell you.
You've been carrying this weight for long enough.
You don’t have to be at rock bottom to deserve support.
It’s okay to admit that you’re struggling. It’s okay to want more than just getting by. It’s okay to recognize you deserve to be excited about your life. And it’s okay to reach out for support.
The heaviness you’re feeling is real, but so is the possibility of relief. You don’t have to figure this out alone. We’re here for you.

Therapy for Depression
Maybe you’ve been feeling off for a while - disconnected from yourself, from others, or from the life you used to enjoy.
Some days feel like you’re going through the motions.
Other days, just getting out of bed feels like too much.
You might catch yourself wondering:
“Why can’t I just snap out of this?”
Or maybe: “Shouldn’t I be handling this better?”
If you’ve been pushing through, but deep down know you’re struggling – please know this: you’re not broken or failing. You’re human. And depression doesn’t always look the way people expect.
Depression Isn’t Just Sadness
It can look like::
- Exhaustion that doesn’t go away, no matter how much you rest
- Trouble focusing, sleeping, or making even simple decisions
- Changes in Appetite or Weight
- Feeling irritable, withdrawn, or emotionally numb
- A constant undercurrent of hopelessness or disconnection
- Physical Symptoms (headaches, GI issues, chronic pain)
- Questioning your worth, your direction, or whether things will ever feel different
- Thoughts of Death or Suicide
Depression doesn’t always come from one clear event. Sometimes it builds slowly – layered under burnout, chronic stress, past trauma, or the weight of constantly showing up for others.
You Don’t Have to “Just Cope” Anymore

But when depression feels like a persistent weight on your shoulders, making everyday tasks feel overwhelming, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and create real change.
Understanding the root causes of your depression is crucial; this involves recognizing the life events, circumstances, or thought patterns contributing to your condition.
Therapy aims to teach you strategies to lift the fog of depression
Depression isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is our approach. Our therapists work with you to uncover what’s underneath the surface – not just reduce symptoms, but help you understand what your mind and body are trying to tell you.
Our therapists use approaches like:
- Holistic, whole-person care - We look at how your nervous system, relationships, identity, and environment may be playing a role.
- Evidence-based tools - Including Brainspotting, EMDR, mindfulness, CBT, and somatic work to process stuck emotions and shift unhelpful patterns.
- Relational therapy - Because the relationship you have with your therapist is key to healing. We make space for you to be seen, heard, and supported without pressure or shame.
- Real-life tools - You won’t just talk - you’ll gain tools you can actually use in your day-to-day life.
