Does this sound familiar?
Depression isn’t always sadness. Sometimes it’s numbness, irritability, or exhaustion. You might notice some of these lasting more than two weeks.
- Persistent low, empty, or irritable mood
- Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
- Fatigue or low energy most days
- Sleeping too much, or too little
- Trouble concentrating or making decisions
- Feeling worthless, guilty, or like a burden
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Thoughts that life isn’t worth living
You don’t need to check every box. If a few of these feel familiar, get in touch.
Evidence-based care, matched to you.
Your clinician draws from these proven approaches and tailors a plan to your goals, history, and pace.
Cognitive & behavioral therapy
Evidence-based talk therapy to interrupt the cycle of low mood, rebuild routine and activity, and challenge the harsh self-talk depression feeds on.
Interpersonal & supportive therapy
Depression often shows up in our relationships. We’ll work on connection, communication, and the life transitions that can trigger a low.
Medication management
We carefully evaluate whether antidepressant medication could help, and adjust thoughtfully, in close coordination with your therapist.
Behavioral activation & lifestyle
Small, structured steps (movement, light, sleep, connection) that rebuild momentum when getting started feels impossible.
Here’s what to expect.
