What Is Depression?

Depression is more than just feeling sad—it’s a persistent emotional state that affects how you think, feel, and function. Common signs include:

🔹 A deep, ongoing sense of sadness or emptiness
🔹 Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
🔹 Low energy, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating
🔹 Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness
🔹 Changes in sleep and appetite
🔹 Withdrawing from family, friends, or responsibilities

If depression is impacting your daily life, therapy can help you regain strength, purpose, and resilience.


How Therapy Can Help with Depression

Our therapy sessions provide a safe and supportive space to explore your feelings, understand your depression, and develop strategies for healing. Through therapy, you’ll learn how to:

🔹 Recognize and challenge negative thought patterns
🔹 Develop healthy coping skills to manage emotions
🔹 Build self-compassion and confidence
🔹 Set small, achievable goals to regain motivation
🔹 Strengthen connections with supportive people

We’ll work together to help you rediscover joy, purpose, and hope.
