Compassion Support for Depression in New York
Sadness. Hopelessness. Stuck.
You may feel disconnected from life right now and find yourself speaking to yourself negatively. The idea of feeling positive or hopeful can seem impossible.
Thoughts constantly race through your mind, focusing on everything that brings you down. Each morning feels like a battle—getting out of bed, brushing your teeth, facing the day—all feels overwhelming and dread fills your heart.
You might be thinking:
"What's the point of life anyway?"
"Happiness happens to others; it never happens to me."
"Life is too painful. I can’t take this pain anymore."
If this resonates with you, you could be struggling with depression. Remember, help is available, and you don’t have to face this alone.
The effects of depression
Depression affects everyone differently, but clients we have worked with describe it as:
"Like a dark cloud following them everywhere"
"Having no interest in seeing anyone or doing anything"
"Feeling unloved or that they do not matter"
Some people also experience additional symptoms such as feelings of sadness, crying spells, headaches or body aches, changes in appetite—whether loss of appetite or overeating—sleep disturbances like insomnia or hypersomnia, and irritability.
If any of this resonates with you, know that support is available, and help can make a difference..
How Therapy Can Help With Depression
We understand that talking about your problems can be challenging. However, after your first session, many clients describe feeling as if a weight has been lifted. Our therapists are compassionate, non-biased, and non-judgmental, providing a safe space for you to explore and heal.
First, we will work together to identify your triggers and teach you effective coping strategies to manage your emotions when you are triggered, helping you avoid becoming overwhelmed.
Next, we will explore your most common thought distortions, uncover the root causes of negative thinking, and challenge these patterns to promote healing and growth.
Therapy can be very effective in reducing depressive symptoms. If left untreated, these symptoms may worsen over time, but with support, change is possible and within reach.
The transformation can be amazing!
Imagine being able to smile (from the heart) again. Imagine what it would be like if the dark clouds disappeared. Imagine not "bashing" yourself every time you make a mistake.
Imagine having more control of your thoughts. What would life look like for you?
We know how hard it is to reach out for help. It also takes a lot of courage.
