Find your way back to hope, energy, and meaning
Depression is more than just feeling sad. It's a persistent condition that affects how you think, feel, and function in daily life. Depression can drain your energy, steal your motivation, and make everything feel harder than it should be.
The important thing to know is that depression is treatable. With professional support, you can understand what's contributing to your depression, develop coping strategies, and gradually rebuild a life that feels meaningful and worthwhile.
Depression shows up differently for everyone. You might benefit from therapy if you're experiencing:
Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy
Fatigue or low energy, even with adequate sleep
Changes in sleep—sleeping too much or too little
Changes in appetite or weight
Withdrawing from friends, family, or activities
Change negative thought patterns that fuel depression
Gradually rebuild activities that bring meaning and pleasure

This varies based on the severity and type of depression. Many people see significant improvement in 12-20 sessions. Some people benefit from longer-term therapy to prevent recurrence and address underlying issues.
Not necessarily. Many people recover from depression with therapy alone. However, moderate to severe depression sometimes responds better to a combination of therapy and medication. We can help you explore your options.
