Therapy for Depression

For adults in NY and NJ

Sadness seems to take on a new meaning when it applies to you.

It’s no longer a single emotion, it’s this heavy weight that descends on you and has decided to stay.

It makes you tired and hopeless. Irritable and snappy. You don’t feel like going out. You wonder why you cry randomly.

Things that used to be so easy and exciting now feel completely out of your reach.

Sometimes it feels simpler to settle with “I have depression” and leave it at that.

To attribute it to being “a chemical thing” and resign to the fact that it’ll be there for the rest of your life.

But in the back of your mind you hope that that’s not true. That you are deeper than that.

That maybe your depression is a cover up for so much pain and we just have to make room to understand all of it.

Depression is rarely a happenstance.

It is your mind’s intricate way of dealing with really upsetting experiences and emotions.

It is a safe place to dump all the words you feel scared to say. In a strange way, depression is a way of protecting yourself.

Depression doesn’t have to define you.

In our sessions we will identify all of these moving pieces and put words to them.

Together we will:

Reassure the scared part of you that you will be okay.

Teach the paralyzed parts of you that you can do this and you will.

Remind you how strong you really are.

Depression does not have to be a life sentence. Reach out today.
