Depression Therapy

You Don’t Have to Suffer Alone

Depression depletes you. It robs you of your desire to fully participate in your life. Its intensity can range from numbness to all consuming feelings of despair. Depression lasts anywhere from a few weeks to years.

Others in your life may not understand. They may want you to “snap out of it” or tell you to think positively. They just want you to feel better. And you want to feel better but you just can’t.

Depression is a common condition affecting over 21 million Americans every year. Medication can address symptoms but talk therapy gets to the root cause. It provides an outlet for negative thoughts and feelings and releases pent up emotions. Talk therapy has even been shown to help prevent relapses of depression.

If you are struggling with depression, talking helps. Even if you feel like you’ve tried everything, and nothing works, come talk about it.

Therapy for depression can help:

  • Apathy and indifference

  • Sadness, hopelessness and despair

  • Feelings of inadequacy

  • Feelings of failure and worthlessness

  • Irritability

  • Isolation and withdrawal

  • Release pent up emotions

  • Self-attack and self-criticism

  • Self-loathing

  • Give up self-destructive behaviors

  • Cope with life setbacks

  • Do the things you once enjoyed

  • Restore energy

  • Self-acceptance

  • Engage in pleasurable activities once again

  • Find a sense of meaning and purpose
