Depression

Feelings of sadness are common for everyone at times but for some, sadness can weigh heavily on us.  We lose our ability to notice and experience pleasure, we struggle to focus on basic tasks or care for ourselves, we can become acutely aware of self-criticism and unaware of our worth.  The depression can cause one to be edgy, have a “short fuse” and be experienced in one’s close relationships as irritable, judgmental, angry and unhappy. At times this can become so severe that our daily lives can be disrupted.  Our therapists are well trained to help with a range of approaches based on the severity of your concerns and preferences.

Sometimes testing can also help to clarify the presence of these concerns, particularly if there may be more than one symptom occurring at the same time (ex. Anxiety, depression and/or focus issues) or if there may be complexities to one’s concerns due to trauma and/or medical conditions.
