Has it been hard for you to feel motivated? Have you been losing interest in activities that previously brought you joy? Are you struggling to maintain personal relationships? Do you find that you're more sensitive than other people? These issues can take over your life, but there are therapies which specifically target depression that can help.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based therapy practice that has been used to treat depression in children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. With CBT you can learn tools to help fight back against the depression and feel agency in your life again.  In developing a deeper understanding of how your thoughts connect to your behavior and emotions, you can learn to change you thoughts to help change how you feel.

If you struggle with self-harm, suicidal behaviors, or Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based therapy practice shown to effectively treat these conditions and more. DBT can be used to help you learn skills to manage your emotions by learning mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Used in conjunction with mindfulness techniques, DBT can also help with reducing impulsivity and keeping a present focused mind. Techniques you'll learn in distress tolerance can help you cope with the ups and downs that come with living, and emotion regulation techniques can help you learn to identify and move through your emotions. DBT also provides techniques in interpersonal effectiveness, which can help you with navigating relationships--whether its building new ones, keeping the ones you have, or ending ones that are toxic. Ask about individual DBT sessions or skills training sessions.
