Depression Therapy

Because it’s been too hard for too long

DOES IT FEEL LIKE…

There’s a storm in your mind.

Your thoughts hit like punches, and they never let up. You hear things like, “I’m a failure. I’m worthless.” Over and over. Maybe you’ve felt down before, but this is different. This is relentless. You go through the motions, pushing yourself forward, but the weight is crushing. Nobody knows that you want to break down half the time, and the other half, you’re angry. The people around you don’t get why you’re so on edge. They have no clue about the battle raging inside. And the worst part is that it feels like you’re fighting alone.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

  • I can’t stop replaying my mistakes.

  • Guilt follows me everywhere.

  • I hate myself.

  • I feel like a fraud.

  • I don’t deserve anything good.

  • People say they like me, but if they knew the real me, they wouldn’t.

Like you’re stuck in the dark.

It’s like stumbling through an endless, empty space. You go through the motions, but you don’t feel anything. At first, the numbness is a relief - it’s better than the pain. But after a while, it becomes something else. Something worse.

And then the thoughts creep in:

  • No one actually cares about me.

  • I have nothing to offer.

  • I’m worthless.

  • No one will ever love me.

  • This is as good as it’s going to get.

Everything feels like a chore.

It takes everything you’ve got just to make it through the day. You can’t focus. Even small tasks feel overwhelming. You force yourself to get up, go to work, do what you’re supposed to do - but it’s exhausting.

Your world has shrunk down to you and your bed. You don’t have the energy to reach out to people and, honestly, you don’t even want to. The idea of socializing feels like work. And the things that used to bring you enjoyment just don’t anymore. And worst of all, it feels like this will never change.

YOU’RE NOT ALONE

I GET IT.

Depression is real. And it’s brutal. Maybe you’ve tried to escape it - self-medicating, risky decisions, anything to feel something different. Maybe the thoughts have even gotten darker than that.

I CAN HELP YOU FIND YOUR WAY BACK

I KNOW IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE THINGS COULD EVER BE DIFFERENT

But what if you woke up and felt a sense of calm instead of dread? What if you actually looked forward to something in your day? 

Imagine if your life felt full instead of empty. If guilt and shame didn’t control you. If you could let go of the past and actually move forward. Imagine if you felt confident, strong, and in charge of your own life.

This isn’t just wishful thinking

FAQs

  • We start by focusing on getting you going. This is a time when you may need more support in taking small steps to get through your day. Once you feel a little relief, we’ll start to go deeper and explore what makes the depression persist.

  • We meet together once per week at the start, but we can meet more often if we decide together that you need more support. Brief coaching calls in between sessions may also be a helpful touchpoint throughout the week.

  • The time frame varies from person to person. It can depend on the severity of symptoms and how long you have experienced depression in your life. Many clients feel there is noticeable relief after 3-6 months of treatment, while some will need ongoing therapy and medication support throughout the course of their lives.

  • We talk about both. You are experiencing pain in the here and now, and so we need to deal with the challenges you currently face. But you are also a person who has developed patterns over the course of your life, and has collected countless memories that shape your view of yourself and others. We don’t talk about the past for the past’s sake. We explore how the past is living in the present.

  • This depends entirely on your needs, personality, and preferences. I don’t take you through a set of formal exercises or teach specific behavioral practices. What I do is help you to define exactly where things go off track, and, based on that insight, collaborate with you on ways to take action. I may have a lot of ideas or suggestions, but the ones I provide will come through knowing you more deeply as an individual, and will be inspired by the content of the sessions.

  • Suicidal thoughts are not as uncommon as you might think, and we will be in constant conversation about how best to respond to them, whether that is pursuing a higher level of care, including a loved one in safety planning, or increasing contact with me throughout the week. Sometimes people simply need to discuss the thoughts openly with someone who can calmly receive them. We will discuss this process more in our initial sessions.
