While every person has a distinct and unique story, depression treatment and therapy often deals with common factors and themes that must be addressed to achieve lasting recovery.

Together we will explore the unique factors of your life story that have contributed to the development of your depressive symptoms. We will explore any possible trauma, loss, abuse, and psychological and environmental factors and explore how they have contributed to your current struggles.

During the course of therapy, you will learn how to untangle and better understand your beliefs about the body, weight, and food, and work towards self-love, compassion, acceptance, and a stronger sense of self.

Having depression can be a grueling, difficult experience; oftentimes, we have been experiencing these symptoms for years with increasingly intensifying symptoms.

While therapy for depression is not a cure all, you can expect that with time, attention, and engagement you will become more capable of handling your depression symptoms and will begin to experience episodes less frequently and with less intensity.

Therapy for depression involves treatment that is tailored to you and your specific symptoms. You can expect to explore the impact that your life experiences and coping mechanisms have had on your emotions, your thoughts, and your behaviors. You will become more aware of the factors that contribute to your depression and become more understanding and accepting of your emotions and more capable of dealing with uncomfortable feelings.

A life where depression is no longer so heavy and controlling is totally possible.

Recovering from depression looks like:

• No longer feeling controlled and at the mercy of your feelings.

• Learn more about your feelings and what they are trying to tell you.

• Understanding yourself and your patterns and feeling more capable of managing your struggles.

• Ability to experience a full range of emotions more fully and with less fear.

• Being able to function and complete daily tasks more easily.

• And so much more!
