Depression Therapy

Finding Light When Life Feels Heavy

Everyone feels sad or unmotivated at times but depression is more than a sadness that happens every once in a while. It can feel like a heavy fog that dulls your energy, motivation, and hope. Even simple tasks can feel overwhelming, and happiness may seem out of reach.  If you’ve been struggling to get through the day, you are not alone and do not have to keep feeling this way.

At Anew Counseling Services, I offer compassionate, evidence-based counseling for depression to help you find relief, feel happy and motivated, and rebuild a sense of connection and purpose in your life.  Make sure you also check out my latest blog on depression.

Understanding Depression

Depression affects how you think, feel, and function in daily life. It can look different for everyone—sometimes it’s sadness or emptiness; other times it’s irritability, exhaustion, or a loss of interest in things that once mattered.

You may be experiencing depression if you notice:

  • Persistent sadness, emptiness, or tearfulness

  • Loss of interest or pleasure in favorite activities

  • Fatigue or low energy, even after rest

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

  • Changes in appetite or sleep patterns

  • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or hopelessness

  • Withdrawal from friends or loved ones

Depression can make you feel isolated—but it is also one of the most treatable mental health conditions. Healing begins with reaching out for support.

How Counseling Can Help

Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore what you’re feeling and why. Together, we’ll work to understand the roots of your depression and build strategies for recovery.

Our approach may include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thought patterns and build healthier perspectives

  • Mindfulness and acceptance techniques to help you relate differently to painful emotions

  • Behavioral activation to reintroduce positive routines and experiences into your life

  • Compassion-focused therapy to strengthen self-kindness and reduce shame

The goal of therapy isn’t just to reduce symptoms—it’s to help you feel more like yourself again.

What to Expect in Counseling

In our first sessions, we’ll focus on understanding your experiences and identifying the specific challenges you’re facing. From there, we’ll create a plan tailored to your needs, whether that means learning coping tools, processing life events, or rebuilding confidence and motivation.

Depression can take time to heal, but with consistent support and guidance, recovery is possible. Every small step forward matters.

You Are Not Alone

Depression can convince you that things will never get better—but that voice is not the truth. Change is possible, and you deserve to feel hope again.

If you’re ready to take the first step toward healing, we’re here to walk beside you.
