Support When Life Feels Heavy

Depression is more than sadness. It can drain energy, disrupt relationships, and make everyday tasks feel overwhelming. Our therapists provide a safe and supportive space to process emotions and build resilience.

Therapy for depression often includes:

  • Exploring root causes of symptoms

  • Learning skills to shift negative self-talk

  • Strengthening coping strategies for low motivation days

  • Building routines that support mental health
