How therapy helps depression

Feel Like Yourself Again

Depression can constrict the connected, happy, and motivated parts of you. Therapy helps you recover those feelings.

Stop the critical voice

Depression can be a tug-o-war between sadness and critical anger. Learn to develop kindness and release yourself from criticism.

Find Hope During Difficult Circumstances

Lifting depression means discovering meaning in your life.

Gain the Emotional Skills You Need

Having the right tools helps you feel secure even in a large storm. Therapy can help you build internal coping skills that help you long after you’re out of therapy.

Connect with Those Closest to You

Depression is isolating. Therapy helps establish deep connections with those around you.

Assessment for Depression

Get clear insights. We provide psychological testing using empirically validated measures so you can get accurate feedback about the way depression is affecting you.
