Depression
Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Depression can leave you feeling drained, disconnected, or stuck in a cycle of hopelessness. You may struggle to find motivation, pleasure, or meaning in daily life. Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to explore the emotional pain beneath the surface and to begin reconnecting with yourself. Together, we’ll identify the roots of your depression—whether past trauma, loss, stress, or self-critical beliefs—and work toward healing and balance. Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy, it’s possible to rediscover energy, self-worth, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Depression can come on gradually or can hit us all at once. Regardless we find ourselves feeling lost, alone and hopeless. The things that used to bring us joy now feel like a burden.

Together we will learn to value the messages that influence your moods and figure out how to help you recover and feel relief from the sadness and pain.

Depression
Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
When families are in addictive situations with someone they love, they are generally feeling depressed and helpless.
