Counseling for Depression

Are you tired of struggling through the day?

  • Are you feeling low on motivation? Disconnected and lonely?

  • Do you want to do things you’ve always enjoyed, but just can’t find the energy?

  • Have you been more irritable than normal?

  • Is sleep a challenge?

  • Do you ever think, “If I could just feel like myself again…”?

You maybe noticing that life just feels harder than before. Perhaps you aren’t experiencing much joy and excitement. Perhaps getting up each day feels downright painful.

You might find yourself wondering “What’s wrong with me?” or “Why can’t I snap out of this?”

If work, relationships, and day to day tasks are feeling overwhelming, you might be part of the 1 in 5 Americans who are experiencing depression. Depession is so common that it is the leading cause of disability worldwide according to the World Health Organization.

Depression is very common and very treatable.

Depression often starts after major life changes like moves, adding new members to the family, the death of a loved one, or a major life change. Depression can also begin after major illness, injuries, or traumatic events. Sometimes depression can come from seemingly out of nowhere.

The most important thing to know is there is hope. You don’t have to keep feeling this way.

Depression is a complicated condition with many factors that contribute. It can be hard to sort through it all on your own. For this reason, counseling for depression can be a valuable tool.
