Therapy for Depression
Depression can feel like a heavy weight—draining your energy, clouding your thoughts, and making even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming. It’s more than just sadness; it can impact your mood, relationships, and sense of self.
But no matter how stuck you (or your loved one might) feel, healing is possible—and therapy can help.

When Is It Time to Get Therapy for Depression?
If you’ve been struggling with depression, you might wonder: “Is it really bad enough for therapy?” The truth is, you don’t have to wait for a crisis to get support. Therapy can help at any stage of depression, whether you’ve been feeling down for weeks or struggling for years.
Consider seeking therapy if:
✔ You feel persistently sad, empty, or numb and don’t know why.
✔ Your motivation and energy are low, making it hard to do everyday things.
✔ You’ve lost interest in things you used to enjoy.
✔ Your sleep, appetite, or concentration have changed significantly.
✔ You feel isolated or disconnected, even around friends and family.
✔ You’ve had thoughts of self-harm or suicide.
If any of this sounds familiar, you don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy can help you understand what’s happening, develop tools to cope, and start feeling more like yourself again.
What Does Therapy for Depression Look Like?
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—because you are not broken. It’s about understanding your emotions, working through challenges, and learning new ways to move forward.
At Time for Therapy, we use evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs, such as:
🧠 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Helps you identify what you truly care about and learn to live a life worth living again.
💙Psychodynamic and Trauma-Informed Practices – Encourages emotional healing through deep exploration of your life story.
🌿 Person-Centered Therapy – Designed to help you become your most authentic, congruent self as you learn to break free from a depressive lifestyle.
🔄 Behavioral Activation – Focuses on rebuilding motivation and reconnecting with things that bring you joy.
Our therapists create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions, express your struggles, and learn how to reclaim your energy, motivation, and sense of purpose.
Self-Help Strategies for Depression
While therapy is the best way to get structured support, there are also small steps you can take on your own to start feeling better:
✔ Move Your Body – Gentle movement, like stretching or walking, can boost mood over time.
✔ Stay Connected – Isolation makes depression worse. Reach out to someone you trust and ask them for extra support.
✔ Challenge Negative Thoughts – Depression distorts thinking; remind yourself that emotions (while valid and extremely important) need not define how you live your life.
✔ Get Outside – Sunlight and fresh air can help regulate mood and energy.
Self-help strategies can support healing, but they are not a substitute for professional care. If you’re struggling, therapy is the next best step.
