Therapy for Depression
Living with Depression
Living with depression can feel like carrying a heavy weight every single day. You might wake up already feeling drained, struggling to find the motivation to face the day. Activities you once enjoyed—spending time with friends, pursuing hobbies, or even simple routines—might now feel overwhelming or meaningless. Nights can stretch into hours of sleeplessness, where your thoughts loop endlessly, leaving you restless and exhausted.
It might feel like there’s no way out of this fog. But therapy can offer a path to relief and hope. At Comma Co., I provide compassionate, tailored support to help clients navigate depression, reconnect with their values, and regain a sense of purpose and joy in their lives.
Depression Is Complex – It’s Not Just “Feeling Sad”
Depression isn’t just something you can “snap out of.” It’s a complex condition that affects your thoughts, emotions, and even your physical body. It’s not about willpower or “trying harder”—depression is often tied to deeper issues, like how your brain processes emotions or your responses to stress, loss, and life changes.
Depression can happen to anyone, and your feelings are valid even if they don’t seem “bad enough.” Whether it’s situational or something you’ve lived with for years, your experience matters—and healing is possible.
Common Symptoms of Depression
Depression looks different for everyone, but some common symptoms include:
Persistent Sadness: Feeling down, empty, or hopeless most of the time.
Loss of Interest: Finding no joy in activities or relationships that used to bring you happiness.
Fatigue: Feeling physically and mentally exhausted, even after resting.
Difficulty Concentrating: Struggling to focus or make decisions.
Sleep Changes: Experiencing insomnia, waking up frequently, or oversleeping.
Physical Symptoms: Headaches, body aches, or digestive issues with no clear cause.
Negative Thoughts: Harsh self-criticism, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, or thoughts of being a burden to others.
If you’re experiencing any of these, therapy can provide support, tools, and a way forward.
My Approach
Therapy for depression at Comma Co. is about more than managing symptoms—it’s about understanding the root causes and helping you rebuild a sense of meaning and connection in your life.
Here’s what our work together looks like:
Understanding Your Experience: Depression isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’ll explore your unique story, uncover the factors contributing to your feelings, and validate your experiences without judgment.
Building Coping Strategies: You’ll learn practical tools to manage overwhelm, challenge negative thoughts, and build habits that nurture your mental health.
Exploring Emotions and Patterns: We’ll look at how past experiences or internalized beliefs may be influencing your current feelings, helping you gain clarity and self-compassion.
Collaborative Growth: Therapy isn’t about me telling you what to do—it’s about working together to create a plan that aligns with your values and goals.
I use a combination of evidence-based therapeutic modalities to support your healing, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel depression.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encourages mindfulness and value-based action, even in the presence of difficult emotions.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): A gentle, effective method to address past experiences that may be contributing to your depression.
Emotion-Focused Therapy: Provides a safe space to explore and process complex emotions.
You Deserve to Feel Better
Depression can feel isolating, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy offers a way to process what you’re going through, find relief, and create a life that feels fulfilling. Whether your depression is recent or something you’ve been battling for years, healing is possible.
