Depression affects more adults and families than we want to admit in the US. Some seasons are easier to go through and others are more complex. Whether you are dealing with depression in a season, or this has been a lifelong struggle, our depression therapists are here to walk alongside you.
If you find that you are struggling to keep your focus at work or school, or perhaps, you are finding it challenging to balance your role as a parent and a provider. Maybe, you have to do it all yourself. Along with the daily life stresses that provoke depression, it can also bring about various health changes, rocky relationships, and complicated life transitions, especially in seasons of loss. Whether that is from death, divorce/breakups, declining health, or loss of independence, this can trigger depression.
If you are ready for support and guidance through this difficult time but are struggling to find direction, speaking with an online therapist is a great first step to redefining how you approach life.

Therapy for Depression Can Help You Recover from Feeling Empty, Hopeless, and Unmotivated
Our online therapists know that depression is more than just feeling sad in the day. It causes distress and impairs your day-to-day functioning. Each day you are consumed with the thoughts of what is to come. This may create conflicts in your relationship, at work, or even at school. When you struggle to get up on a day-to-day basis, and you are no longer motivated to work, learn, or invest in your relationship, this can affect your own quality of life.
Many individuals who come to therapy for depression find that they are embarrassed to say they have depression. For fear of being seen as dramatic, weak, helpless, this leads to a feeling of defeat. Knowing that what you are dealing with happens and taking the first step to reach out for support is a sign of strength and takes great bravery. This is a judgment-free zone no matter who you are. Our depression therapists would be honored to help you.
