Therapy for Depression

If you’ve landed on this page, you might be feeling tired — not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, deep-down exhausted. Maybe it’s been hard to get out of bed lately, or the things that used to bring you joy just feel… flat. You might be going through the motions, holding it together on the outside while feeling like you're falling apart on the inside.

Depression isn’t just about feeling sad. It can show up as irritability, numbness, guilt, hopelessness, or just feeling stuck in a fog you can’t explain. You might feel like you “should” be fine, or that others wouldn’t understand. But the truth is — you are not alone, and there is nothing wrong with you.

Depression is a very real, very human experience. And even though it can feel isolating, healing is possible. Therapy can offer a space where you don’t have to pretend. Together, we can make sense of what you're feeling, explore what’s weighing you down, and find a path toward relief, clarity, and connection — at your pace.

Types of Depression We Treat

Major Depression

You feel emotionally drained, disconnected, and overwhelmed by even the smallest tasks. This isn’t about laziness or weakness — it’s your mind and body signaling that something deeper needs care. You don’t have to carry it alone.

Bipolar

You may swing between intense highs and deep lows and feel unsure of where you’ll land next. This can be confusing and exhausting, especially if you’ve lived through trauma or are experiencing stress. Therapy can help you find steadiness and self-understanding without shame.

Seasonal Affective Disorder

Whether it’s the long, dark days of winter or the intense energy of summer, seasonal shifts can deeply affect your mood and energy. You might feel more withdrawn, anxious, or emotionally off balance. This isn’t all in your head — your body and mind are responding to real changes. You deserve support that helps you feel steady, no matter the season.

Postpartum Depression

You’re a mom — and you love your baby — but you don’t feel like yourself. Maybe you’re overwhelmed, irritable, tearful, or even feeling numb. You might wonder why this is so hard, or if you're the only one feeling this way. You’re not. Postpartum depression is real, common, and treatable. You deserve support, not shame — for you, not just your baby.

Situational Depression

Big changes — even expected ones — can leave you feeling lost, down, or stuck. If a life event has shaken you and you’re struggling to adjust, therapy can offer space to process and move forward with support and care.

How We Help

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps with depression by addressing the unhelpful thought patterns that often fuel low mood and hopelessness. In CBT, you'll learn to identify and challenge negative thoughts, and replace them with more balanced, realistic ones. You'll also practice small, manageable actions that help you reconnect with things that bring meaning or joy. Over time, this can shift how you feel and give you tools to manage future depressive episodes more effectively.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can help with depression by teaching skills to manage overwhelming emotions, improve relationships, and reduce self-destructive behaviors. It’s especially helpful if your depression is tied to intense mood swings, impulsivity, or difficulty coping with stress. DBT focuses on building mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness—giving you tools to navigate life with more balance and stability.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can help with depression by targeting and healing the underlying experiences that may be fueling it—especially if those experiences involve trauma, loss, or painful memories. Instead of just talking about distressing events, EMDR helps the brain reprocess them so they’re no longer as emotionally charged. This can lead to a noticeable lift in mood, improved self-worth, and fewer negative thoughts that often accompany depression. Many people find that as past wounds are processed, their present-day symptoms also begin to ease.

Somatic Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Somatic therapy helps you gently reconnect with your body and begin to shift the patterns that keep you feeling numb, low, or shut down.

We work with the nervous system to support regulation and vitality — helping you move out of freeze or collapse states and into a place of greater energy, connection, and ease. Through breath, movement, and body awareness, somatic therapy helps you build a deeper sense of safety, presence, and aliveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a therapy session look like?

It depends on what approach we’re using. With CBT, we focus on identifying and challenging anxious thoughts. DBT sessions are more skills-based, helping you manage intense emotions and set boundaries. EMDR is more structured and uses eye movements or tapping to help your brain process past experiences that may be fueling anxiety. All sessions start with an intake to discuss your challenges, needs, and the best approach to take.

How long will I need therapy?

It really depends on your goals and what you're working through. Some people come for a few months to learn tools and feel better day-to-day, while others stay longer to dig deeper. We’ll check in regularly to make sure it’s still helpful and aligned with what you need.

Do you offer virtual or in-person sessions?

Yes! We offer both. You can choose what feels most comfortable—whether that’s meeting in person or having sessions from the comfort of your home. We can also switch between the two if your needs change.

Are sessions covered by my insurance?

We are in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Horizon/BCBS, Medicare and Lyra. All other plans are considered "out-of-network" where we can provide you a superbill to submit to your insurance.

How old do I have to be to start therapy?

We work with clients starting at age 12 years old and up. If you're a teen or young adult, therapy can be a great space to talk through anxiety, pressure, or anything else you’re dealing with. If you're a parent looking for support for your child, feel free to reach out and we can talk about the best fit.
