Depression
Break the Cycle
Overcome Negative Thinking
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Depression often shows up as a harsh inner critic, hopeless predictions, and “what’s the point?” thinking. In CBT, we learn to identify these patterns, challenge them with evidence, and practice more balanced thoughts that support action and self-compassion. This isn’t forced positivity—it’s building a mindset that’s accurate, helpful, and less punishing.
Finding Meaning
Finding what Matters
Depression can make life feel flat and disconnected. We’ll reconnect you with your values—what matters to you, what kind of person you want to be, and what gives your life purpose. From there, we’ll set meaningful goals that help you feel more engaged, more hopeful, and more like yourself again.
Getting Active
Set Attainable Goals
Depression drains energy and motivation, so the goal is small, doable steps that rebuild momentum. We’ll use behavioral activation to plan activities that improve mood—starting tiny, tracking progress, and adjusting as needed. Consistent action (even when you don’t feel like it) is one of the most reliable ways to reduce depressive symptoms over time.
Mindfulness
Focusing on the Present
Depression pulls the mind into the past (“I failed”) or the future (“nothing will change”). Mindfulness helps you return to the present moment with less judgment and more awareness. You’ll learn simple practices to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them—reducing rumination and creating more space for calm, clarity, and choice.
