Depression

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.

Victor Hugo

Depression is more than just feeling sad—it is a deep and persistent struggle that can affect every aspect of your life, from your energy levels and motivation to your relationships and sense of purpose. It can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming, leading to feelings of hopelessness, isolation, and emotional numbness. While depression can be caused by a variety of factors, including life stressors, trauma, genetics, or chemical imbalances, it is not a sign of weakness, and you don’t have to go through it alone.

Therapy provides a compassionate and supportive space to explore the root causes of your depression and develop strategies to manage its symptoms. Through evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused therapy, we help you reframe negative thought patterns, build coping skills, and rediscover a sense of hope and fulfillment. No matter where you are in your journey, healing is possible, and we are here to help you take the first step toward feeling better.
