Evidenced-based depression therapy

Depression causes people to feel down, tired, or sad. Some may lose their sense of pleasure or motivation, while others withdraw from friends and loved ones. Even if life seems “just fine,” depression can make you feel miserable, hopeless, and trapped.

Overcome Depression Through Gold-Standard Psychotherapy

You are not alone if you or a loved one have been feeling this way. Nearly everyone experiences depression at some point in their life. It can happen after a significant life event, such as losing a loved one or a career, but it can also emerge “out of the blue” with no apparent causal event. Depression is one of the most common reasons people seek treatment, though many put off treatment until their symptoms become too much to bear. No matter how long you have struggled with depression or how helpless you might feel, there is hope. Life does not have to be this way.
