Depression

Overcome feelings of hopelessness and reclaim your well-being with therapy tailored to help you manage and heal from depression.

What is Depression?

Depression is more than just feeling sad—it’s a persistent sense of hopelessness, exhaustion, or disconnection that can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. You might struggle to find joy in things you once loved, feel weighed down by guilt or worthlessness, or experience physical symptoms like changes in sleep or appetite.
