Reclaim your life from depression

Do you feel like:

• Every day is a struggle just to get out of bed.

• You have no energy or motivation. You feel numb most of the time.

• You either want to eat junk all the time, or you have no appetite.

• You can’t remember the last time you were happy.

Depression can suck all the joy out of life and leave you feeling like an empty shell. If this matches how you’ve been feeling, you're in the right place.

Depression is more than just feeling sad – it's a thief that steals your:

• Energy and motivation

• Joy in activities you used to love

• Sense of self-worth

• Hope for the future

And the most frustrating part? Many people just don't understand.

Have you tried yoga?, they say, as if downward dog is the cure for your darkest thoughts.

We Understand Because We've Been There

Many of our therapists have walked the path you're on. We know the weight of depression, the isolation it brings, and most importantly, the way out. You don't have to face this alone anymore.

You're Not Broken, You're Human.

Many of us will experience depression at some time in our lives. In fact, the World Health Organization estimated in 2019 that over 280 million people around the world experienced depression. Plus, if you’re a highly sensitive person, you may be more prone to depression.

Research shows that hsps who experience a negative environment are more negatively impacted. So, things like not having a supportive family during childhood, being in a tough work environment, or feeling lonely and disconnected can increase the likelihood that you become depressed.

Toss in a history of depression running in your family, biological factors you have no control over, and the daily bombardment of global and personal stress - it’s no surprise that depression is a common struggle for sensitive people.

The good news is - depression doesn’t have to take hold forever.

There Is Light, Even in the Darkest Places

Imagine waking up and feeling:

• Excited about the day ahead

• Energized to pursue your passions

• Connected to the people around you

• Hopeful about your future

This isn't a fantasy. It IS possible.

Types of Depression We Treat:

• Major Depressive Disorder

  • Your personal history, body chemistry, or something going on in your life may trigger a depressive episode.

• Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

  • Getting less sunlight (Vitamin D) and shorter, darker days can lead to depression. (However, some people experience SAD when the days are too sunny and long. Moral of the story - we’re all different and similar too.)

• Situational Depression

  • You may be going through a really tough time like a job loss, big move, or a break-up or divorce. The pain of these changes is very real and can trigger depression.

• Depression co-occurring with Anxiety or Bipolar Disorder

  • Your anxiety and depression may go hand-in-hand, acting like a see-saw - as one goes up, the other goes down. And, if you have Bipolar Disorder, you know depression is a major part of the ups and downs.

• Substance-related Depression

  • If you use substances to take the edge off depression, you’re not alone. Many people turn to substances as a way to cope with the pain.
