Depression Counseling
Compassionate support to move through the heaviness and numbness of depression — and reconnect with hope, energy, and meaning.
About Depression Counseling
Depression can feel like falling into darkness and despair — stuck, completely alone, like life is meaningless. However dark it may seem, you are worthy and you are needed. Depression counseling helps you explore what you’re experiencing while reconnecting you with hope and motivation. Our therapists distinguish depression from ordinary sadness, look at the underlying causes (situational, trauma-related, genetic, chemical, or environmental), and use mindfulness, self-compassion, and coping strategies to help you feel like yourself again.
