More About What We Do
DEPRESSION
Living with depression can feel like navigating through a dense fog that impacts every aspect of life, dimming joy and vitality. It’s waking up each day with a weight on your chest, feeling as though even the simplest tasks require an insurmountable effort. Treatment for depression involves a multifaceted approach tailored to your unique needs and experiences. In therapy, we’ll collaborate to explore the roots of your depression, develop coping skills, and cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself. Through compassionate support and evidence-based interventions, we’ll journey alongside you, illuminating the path toward more ease.
SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a subtype of depression that typically occurs during certain seasons, most commonly in the fall and winter months when daylight hours are shorter. You may experience symptoms such as persistent sadness, fatigue, changes in appetite or weight, difficulty concentrating, and a lack of interest in activities you’ve once enjoyed. The experience of SAD can be like living under a dark cloud that follows you wherever you go, making it challenging to find motivation or pleasure in daily life. Treatment for SAD involves a blend of strategies tailored to brighten those darker moments.
POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a mood disorder that affects some individuals after childbirth, typically within the first few weeks or months. It’s characterized by feelings of sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion that can make it challenging to care for oneself and the new baby. Symptoms may include difficulty bonding with the baby, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, irritability, and overwhelming feelings of guilt or worthlessness. Treatment for postpartum depression often involves a combination of approaches tailored to the individual’s needs. This may include therapy, such as interpersonal therapy, to address underlying thoughts and emotions. Medication, particularly antidepressants, may also be recommended in some cases, and we will coordinate care with your doctor or psychiatrist. We can support you in finding relief and joy in the journey of parenthood.
