Do you find yourself excelling in your career or daily responsibilities, yet privately battling a persistent sense of emptiness, fatigue, or a diminished ability to experience joy? Perhaps you're adept at managing appearances, but beneath the surface, you're struggling with self-criticism, difficulty connecting authentically, or a pervasive feeling of not being "enough." If you recognize these experiences and they're quietly diminishing your quality of life, exploring therapy for depression can offer a vital space for support and strategies tailored to your unique needs.

 

As a therapist, I can draw upon several effective modalities to help you address depression while honoring your strengths and unique challenges. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we'd work together to identify and reframe the subtle, often automatic negative thought patterns that contribute to your depression, developing more adaptive coping strategies. Narrative Therapy could provide a space to externalize depression, separating it from your identity, allowing us to explore how it has influenced your life story and co-create new, empowering narratives that highlight your resilience and preferred ways of living. Through Reality Therapy, we would focus on your present choices and how they align with your core needs and values, helping you make more effective decisions that lead to greater fulfillment. Finally, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) can be particularly powerful for high-functioning individuals, as it helps cultivate self-compassion and reduce the often intense self-criticism that can accompany depression, fostering a kinder, more supportive relationship with yourself.
