Therapy for Depression

Depression can look different for everyone. It may show up as exhaustion, irritability, or a loss of interest in once-enjoyed activities. Some feel emotionally numb, struggle with guilt or hopelessness, and find social interactions draining. Even basic tasks can feel overwhelming, making it hard to function day-to-day.

​

Physically, it can cause sleep issues, appetite changes, or unexplained aches. Some feel restless, while others struggle to focus or complete tasks. In severe cases, thoughts of self-harm may arise, even in those who seem fine on the surface. Depression isn’t always obvious, which is why support and understanding are crucial.

​

Common Signs of Depression:

​​

  • Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness

  • Fatigue or lack of energy

  • Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed

  • Sleep disturbances (insomnia or excessive sleep)

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

  • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or self-criticism

  • Changes in appetite (overeating or loss of appetite)

  • Increased irritability or frustration

  • Physical aches and pains without a clear cause

  • Thoughts of self-harm or suicide

How Therapy Can Help with Anxiety:

Therapy offers a supportive space to address the root causes of depression and build coping skills. CBT helps challenge negative thoughts, while mindfulness and ACT promote emotional regulation. Therapy can boost self-esteem, strengthen relationships, and provide tools for managing stress. A therapist offers guidance and validation, helping clients regain a sense of purpose and control.
