What is Depression Therapy?
Depression therapy provides a safe and supportive environment to explore the thoughts, feelings, and experiences contributing to your mental health. Through one-on-one sessions with a trained therapist, you can work to understand your depression, develop coping strategies, and gain insights that promote healing and growth. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy to address the unique aspects of your experience with depression.
How Can a Depression Therapist Help?
Our therapists are skilled in treating various types of depression, from major depressive disorder to persistent depressive disorder and seasonal affective disorder. They work with you to uncover the underlying factors contributing to your depression—whether they’re related to life circumstances, biological influences, or past experiences. With personalized support, you’ll learn techniques for managing symptoms and begin to rebuild a fulfilling, purpose-driven life.
Your therapist might guide you through techniques like cognitive restructuring to challenge negative thought patterns or mindfulness practices to cultivate a sense of calm and awareness. Each session is designed to empower you with tools and insights that support your mental health journey.
