Depression often feels like a heavy weight, obscuring joy and motivation. Psychoanalytic therapy offers a unique lens to explore the unconscious roots of depression. We'll work together to uncover hidden conflicts, past losses, or negative self-beliefs that may be fueling your low mood. By bringing these unconscious elements to light, we can understand their impact and develop new ways of coping. This journey can lead to a renewed sense of purpose, increased emotional resilience, and a brighter outlook on life.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Psychotherapy, or talk therapy works as well as medication for many people. It may be used alone or in combination with other approaches, including exercise and optimal nutrition. Studies have shown that psychotherapy can cause changes in brain function similar to those produced by medications. Focused, goal-oriented forms of therapy such as cognitive-behavior therapy appear to be the most effective in treating depression.
