Go from surviving to thriving

Does it feel like you’re watching life happen from the sidelines?

Life right now feels harder than it needs to be. You’re still going to work, hanging out with friends, and going through the motions but it feels like there’s an invisible weight slowing you down. You struggle to fall asleep or find yourself tired even after a full night’s sleep and you keep walking into rooms asking yourself, “Why did I come in here again?”

People who are depressed can’t get out of bed in the morning and cry all the time so you can’t be depressed… right?

But when you’re at work you find yourself making minor mistakes, mentally checking out during meetings, or thinking about taking a sick day more often than not. You’d rather have a quiet night in and think of ways to get out of plans you made a few weeks ago. And it feels like your partner is purposely annoying you (even though you know they aren’t) and all those little arguments are really wearing you down.

IMAGINE BEING EXCITED ABOUT LIFE AGAIN

You have energy again and are excited about going out. Your hobbies interest you and you’re looking forward to work. You feel more confident speaking up in meetings and you whiz through your to do list. You and your partner are better at communicating and supporting each other. Chores no longer feel like a chore.

You are seen. You are supported. And you aren’t alone anymore.

Our bodies and minds are incredibly powerful and their main priority is to protect us. Sometimes that means our minds put up such a strong barrier between us and reality that we feel disconnected from everything around us.

That’s where therapy comes in.

We work to identify the connections your mind and nervous system are making so we can intentionally reconnect you with your life. This means we use specific grounding strategies to gently reintroduce your nervous system to the world around you. We look at how your thoughts impact your emotions and actions and work together to create practical steps to make change happen.

Relief Statement

Rediscover the joy in life.

  • A: Therapy is helpful no matter what, and there is no magical criteria you have to meet to “qualify” for therapy. Even if your depression symptoms are mild or moderate you deserve to learn more about yourself and get tools to help you live your life.

  • A: Not everyone takes medication for their depression. The decision of whether to use medication as one of many tools in your treatment is a personal one that should be discussed with your therapist and prescriber. Ultimately it is your decision, and no one else’s, about whether you take medication.

  • A: Treating depression can take months or years. There are no effective shortcuts in treating your mental health and you deserve the best quality care that will provide you with long-term benefits.
