Depression

Depression can affect how we feel, how much energy we have, and how connected we feel to the people around us — and it often shows up in our relationships too. We welcome clients experiencing depression at any point in their journey, whether you're just starting to notice symptoms or have been navigating this for a while.

Our practice welcomes clients experiencing depression at any stage — from mild, situational low mood to more persistent symptoms — and integrates individual treatment with our relational therapy focus when relevant, recognizing that depression and relationship functioning often influence one another.
