Depression
A state that affects us all at some point in our lives. It is not just feeling sad, but often comes with complexities that impact how we experience daily life. It can be a heavy burden that makes us feel like we're lost in a dark hole, with little hope for a way out.
It can look like losing interest in things that you once enjoyed.
It can be constantly getting lost in negative thoughts.
It can also be quick to anger and reacting to everything around us.
Or it can make us so hopeless and stuck, that thinking about being gone from the world will bring relief.
Everyone experiences depression differently. Other common symptoms are:
Irritable mood
Withdrawing from friends and family
Changes in appetite
Sleep troubles
Have us question a meaning to live
Thoughts of suicide
Which can leave us feeling:
Worse about yourself, not good enough
Losing motivation
Hopeless
Stuck
Overwhelmed
We understand the challenges of living with depression and how it can impact every aspect of your life. We also understand those who are functional - able to go to school, work and be available for friends and family (to get by or appear successful) but experience the symptoms above. And they are often suffering in silence.
"Getting over it" is not the solution
Treating depression is not always about coping strategies and worksheets, rather a place to start - is to be truly heard, and having a space to explore your narrative, your whole self. Once that unfolds, is it possible to find relief and a path to living a more fulfilling life.
Our therapists use an integrative approach combining different therapy models in counseling to tailor fit you. We will also draw upon evidence-based approaches including:
Person Centered Therapy
Narrative Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
