Depression is an isolating experience. Experiencing depression can be painful, lonely and isolating. Depression creates negativity and fatigue. These feelings make making it through the day seem like a daunting task. When feelings of depression enter into our lives we feel hopeless and alone.

Talk Therapy for Depression.
Processing through what you are currently experiencing, have experienced in your life and walking with someone who can help bear the load. We want to help equip you with tools to help navigate the ebbs and flows of depression, which brings relief. Depression often comes as a result of being stuck: stuck in the past, stuck in a past narrative, or reliving past events. If this is true for you, we can work together to uncover the roots of the depression and how the past is impacting you today. The counseling process is a process of empowerment. We believe you are capable of healing and that you already have most of what you need to be restored to the life you deserve. You can come to have hope again and know that the struggle with depression does not own you.
