Depression & Mood

It’s hard to reach out when you can barely find the energy to want to.

Depression doesn't always look like sadness. It can feel like numbness, exhaustion, irritability, losing interest in things you used to love, or going through the motions while feeling far away from your own life. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what's happening, and start to feel more connected again.

We work with adolescents and adults experiencing depression, persistent low mood, mood swings, and the emotional aftermath of hard seasons of life. Our approach blends psychodynamic work, which looks at the patterns and experiences underneath, with practical, evidence-based tools for getting through the day. We meet you where you are, including on the days when showing up is the hardest part.

Therapy for Depression can support goals like:

  • Understanding what's contributing to your low mood

  • Rebuilding energy, motivation, and daily structure

  • Quieting harsh self-talk and feelings of worthlessness

  • Reconnecting with people, interests, and things that bring meaning

  • Noticing early warning signs and building ways to respond

  • Feeling more present and alive in your own life

How we approach Depression:

  • Combine insight into root causes with concrete, manageable steps

  • Start small and celebrate progress that's realistic for you

  • Treat your symptoms with compassion, not judgment

  • Look at how relationships, identity, and life circumstances shape mood

  • Collaborate with psychiatrists or other providers when medication is part of your care

  • Take safety seriously and plan together if things feel very dark
