Depression can feel like a heavy fog that dims your energy, motivation, and hope.

It can disrupt your sleep, isolate you from others, and make even simple tasks feel impossible. Therapy can help lift that weight so you can feel more present, engaged, and capable of living your life again. We’re here to help address depression in many forms, including:

❖ PERSISTENT SADNESS
❖ LOSS OF MOTIVATION
❖ LOW SELF-WORTH

❖ GRIEF AND LOSS
❖ SEASONAL DEPRESSION
❖ POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION

How We Help.

We use evidence-based methods to help reduce depression and restore hope,
focusing on three key areas that work together to support lasting change:

❖ RECONNECT WITH PURPOSE ❖

Depression often disconnects people from what matters most, leaving life feeling empty or directionless. Therapy helps clients rediscover meaning, values, and reasons to move forward.

❖ HEAL EMOTIONAL WOUNDS ❖

Depression can be tied to past hurts, unresolved grief, or hidden shame. Therapy offers a safe, compassionate place to process these emotional wounds so they no longer control your life.

❖ BUILD HABITS THAT SUPPORT HEALING ❖

Small, consistent actions can help break the cycle of depression. Therapy guides clients in building daily practical, sustainable habits that support energy, connection, and emotional well-being.

Our Approach.

Your therapy plan will be personalized to your needs, and may include:

ACT

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to accept their thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them. It encourages being aware of the present moment and accepting experiences, while also taking actions that match personal values. This method improves self-awareness, emotional strength, and coping, helping individuals live authentically and promoting personal growth and well-being.
CBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, time-limited approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interconnect. By challenging negative thoughts, individuals can change their emotional responses and behaviors. CBT effectively addresses anxiety, depression, and stress, empowering clients with practical strategies to foster resilience and personal growth.
Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy is a theory and method that encourages clients to explore their psyche to understand their problems, behaviors, and unconscious motivations. Rooted in psychoanalysis, it combines evidence-based techniques with insights into how the past influences the present. This approach examines early attachments, family history, personality, and current functioning.
