Depression is more than just regular mood fluctuations. It impacts our every day and makes it hard to function. Maybe you can’t remember a time when life didn’t feel like this. Maybe you’ve noticed a change in yourself or others have. Either way, it’s real and it’s a problem. But, it doesn’t have to always be like this.
Depression can lead to suicide and should be treated as a serious illness that needs attention. Depression doesn’t make you weak or worthless, but it does make you feel powerless. Take the first step to get your life back.

Explore Your Past
Depression has a biological factor but the way we see the world and ourselves can have a huge impact on our lives. Our past experiences help to shape the way we view our lives and finding out the sources of those patterns can help to reshape our story.
Regain Your Control
You’re in control. Through a non-judgmental and honest approach to therapy, you can find out more about yourself at your pace. Sessions are tailored to your needs and goals. Learn how to say “no”, develop social skills, and set boundaries.
How did it happen to me?
Depression is a serious issue that affects many people and can be caused by various factors. Feeling helpless and confused about the reasons behind your symptoms is common.
Genetics, chemical imbalances in the brain, and life events such as losing a loved one or experiencing financial stress can all play a role. Medical conditions like cancer or diabetes, as well as hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause, can also affect your mood. Childhood experiences, like growing up in a difficult environment, can also impact your mental health. Substance abuse, certain personality traits, and a lack of social support can also contribute to depression. Even changes in brain structure or function may be a factor.
The good news is that depression can be treated, and many different options are available to help you feel better. Seeking help from a healthcare provider or mental health professional can be a positive step in finding the right treatment for you. You don’t have to go through this alone, and resources are available to support you in your journey towards healing.

Is Therapy Right for Me?
Our approach is focused on finding solutions to your experiences.
We use an integrated approach that is tailored to your needs, including maximizing any resources that you may already have. Using an integrated approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we can begin to explore how your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are connected and influence each other while breaking any cycles that aren’t working for you anymore.
Through our work together, we can isolate triggers and begin to reconstruct their influence on your life, build better habits and communication skills, and learn new and more helpful ways of managing symptoms while reducing their impact on your life.

Questions? We’ve got answers!
How is this going to be different from everything else I’ve already tried?
Maybe you’ve tried holistic treatments, self-help, or even therapy in the past and didn’t feel like it was helpful. The emotional pain that you feel right now doesn’t have to be your normal. Our approach is focused on finding the core beliefs that may be preventing a better life and work to challenge those beliefs by getting to the root of the problem.
I’m not sure how I would even fit it into my schedule.
Many of the people we work with have busy schedules because of demanding jobs, family or relationships, and social obligations. That’s why we offer online telehealth in addition to in-person. The time that you would spend commuting to and from the therapy office can be used for more important things than driving. This has helped to open up the option of depression treatment for many, you included.
I’m not comfortable with taking medication.
That’s ok. While studies show that medication and therapy combined are the best treatment for depression, that doesn’t mean that it’s the only treatment. As part of the control you have over your treatment, the decision to take medication is an important one and you have the final say.
Life can be hard, but getting set up doesn’t have to be.
