Therapy for Depression
For: Low mood, procrastination, fatigue, lack of motivation, insomnia, low self-esteem/self-worth.
You know this story. You’ve got things to do, but the motivation or energy isn’t there. Every task and responsibility feels like a mountain to climb. You procrastinate. You might find yourself withdrawn from friends or family, feeling like you’re just going through the motions everyday. It may have started with some new stressor or a feeling of being overwhelmed, or perhaps these feelings have been there awhile. Either way, you wound up feeling stuck – maybe even a bit helpless, and defeated -- and caught in a loop of negative thinking. People around you might not understand, and if they do, they may not know how to help.
Depression can feel like it’s draining away all of your energy, and when you feel like you’re on a sinking ship far from land, it’s difficult to know what to do or where to turn. The good news is that effective treatment is available. We would start treatment by exploring more about what elements of your life may be contributing to these challenges. We would work together to identify areas where we can find some relief for you, and develop skills to improve your mood, enhance your relationships, rediscover the things you enjoy in your life, and build strong skills of self-awareness to reduce future problems.
