Depression can feel like a slow withdrawal from life. You may notice a persistent heaviness, a loss of motivation, or a sense of emotional distance from yourself and others. Even when things appear “fine” on the outside, internally you may feel disconnected, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward.

Depression therapy offers a space to gently explore these experiences with care and intention. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, this work seeks to understand how depression developed and what it may be communicating about unmet needs, loss, or long-standing emotional strain.

Therapy for Depression, Emotional Numbness, and Low Mood

Depression does not always look the same for everyone. For some, it shows up as sadness or hopelessness. For others, it appears as numbness, fatigue, irritability, or a sense of being stuck.

Common concerns addressed in depression therapy include:

• Persistent low mood or feelings of emptiness

• Emotional numbness or disconnection

• Loss of interest in activities or relationships

• Chronic fatigue or difficulty getting through daily tasks

• Negative self-talk or feelings of worthlessness

• Depression connected to grief, trauma, or relational loss

These experiences are not signs of weakness. Depression often develops in response to prolonged stress, unresolved emotional pain, or disruptions in connection and meaning.

Understanding Depression Through an Attachment-Based and Trauma-Informed Lens

Depression is not simply a chemical imbalance or a mindset to change. It is often a protective response, a way the nervous system slows down when overwhelm, loss, or emotional deprivation has gone on for too long.

An attachment-based, trauma-informed approach helps explore how early relationships, life experiences, and patterns of connection have shaped your emotional world. Therapy focuses on restoring safety, meaning, and a sense of aliveness rather than pushing for forced positivity.

This work honors your lived experience and allows healing to unfold gradually and sustainably.

How Depression Therapy Can Help

Depression therapy supports you in reconnecting with yourself, your emotions, and your sense of agency. In our work together, we may focus on:

• Understanding the roots of depressive symptoms within your life context

• Exploring relational patterns that contribute to disconnection or self-criticism

• Gently increasing emotional awareness and capacity

• Addressing negative internal narratives with compassion rather than force

• Rebuilding self-trust, motivation, and a sense of meaning

• Supporting nervous system regulation and emotional safety

Therapy moves at a pace that respects your energy and capacity, allowing change to emerge without pressure.
