Depression

Depression can affect many aspects of life, and it looks different for everyone. It’s more than just feeling sad—it can impact your thoughts, emotions, and daily functioning in profound ways.

Common signs of depression include:
✔ Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness
✔ Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
✔ Low energy or constant fatigue
✔ Difficulty concentrating, making decisions, or remembering things
✔ Changes in sleep patterns, whether sleeping too much or too little
✔ Shifts in appetite or weight
✔ Thoughts of self-harm or suicide

If these feelings have lasted for weeks or longer, therapy can help you explore the root causes of depression, develop coping strategies, and work toward healing and recovery. You don’t have to go through this alone.

Depression can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or life circumstances. Whether you're experiencing persistent sadness, struggling with motivation, or feeling disconnected from the things that once brought you joy, therapy can help.

You may benefit from depression treatment if you:
✔ Feel overwhelmed by sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness
✔ Struggle with low energy, sleep disturbances, or difficulty concentrating
✔ Experience a lack of interest in relationships, work, or hobbies
✔ Find it hard to manage stress, self-criticism, or negative thoughts
✔ Feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt, guilt, or emotional numbness

Depression affects both the mind and body, and our therapy focuses on:

Our goal is to help you feel more in control of your emotions, reconnect with yourself, and find hope again.

At Aligned Mind Therapy, we use an integrative approach to depression treatment, drawing from evidence-based techniques, including:

✔ Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helps identify and change negative thought patterns that fuel depression.
✔ Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Teaches emotional regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance to manage overwhelming emotions.
✔ Mindfulness-Based Strategies – Encourages present-moment awareness to reduce rumination and increase emotional balance.
✔ Person-Centered Therapy – Provides a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where healing happens at your own pace.
✔ Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – Helps process distressing memories or negative beliefs that may be contributing to depression, reducing their emotional intensity.

Depression can feel like an uphill battle, but you don’t have to face it alone. With the right support, healing is possible.
