Depression is absolutely treatable, and counseling is often an important component of this treatment. Because depression can be a very isolating and lonely problem, many people find that counseling is a wonderful space to help you feel supported and gather tools to help you lift your mood. Our counselors are here to help you learn to challenge negative thought patterns that leave you feeling guilty, overwhelmed, or hopeless. Counseling can also be a space to help you create and carry out a self-care plan that can prevent or shorten future episodes of depression.
