Return to happy
Feeling sad and down from time to time is a normal and healthy human emotion. But if you feel that you just can't shake it, and are not sure why, or it is becoming a constant in your life, it may be time to seek therapy.
Depression is one of the most common mood disorders in the U.S. While it is linked to such factors as genetics, physical illness, medications, and major life changes or trauma, its exact cause isn’t known. Depression can manifest itself in many ways, affecting your body and mind, including how you think, feel, and manage activities of daily living.
The areas in which we specialize in depression are: Individual Therapy and Group Therapy.
