THERAPY FOR DEPRESSION

Chronic burnout and exhaustion can lead to disconnection and depression.

People can become depressed for many reasons.

Depression also looks different in different people and can be harder to spot in people who look like they have it “all together.”

Current research indicates that depression has its roots in difficulties in how we relate to ourselves and how we relate to others.

Emotions common to depression such as sadness, shame, regret, and hopelessness often cause us to avoid others or isolate ourselves, which actually increases depression.

IN THE UNITED STATES, ABOUT 17.3 MILLION ADULTS AND 3.2 MILLION TEENS HAVE HAD AT LEAST ONE MAJOR DEPRESSIVE EPISODE

We’re here to help you walk through this experience that can feel like a forest of suffering to a brighter and stronger place.

How can therapy for depression help?

One of the main difficulties of depression is that it makes you feel like you don’t want to do anything and you want to isolate from others. Therapy for depression can help you take the risk of connecting with others and engaging in activities even when you don’t feel like it and don’t want to.
