Depression Therapy
There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.
Depression in Disguise
Do you find yourself doing the things that you used to love, but feeling disconnected or unengaged? Depression does’t always present itself as overwhelming pain and sadness. Like most health disorders, it presents on a spectrum from minor to severe. As a result, it can appear as simply as a persistent dull ache or as drastic as suicidal thoughts. Regardless of where your symptoms fall on the spectrum of severity, depression therapy can help you.
Depression does not discriminate. It affects people of all genders, ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. In men, it can manifest itself in the form of anger and irritability. In children and adolescents, depression may present itself as behavioral issues. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 17.3 million Americans suffer from depression each year. However, only one third of those suffering seek and receive proper depression treatment. Our therapists want to help you feel like yourself again.
