Therapy for Depression in Pennsylvania & New Jersey
Don't Leave Your Depression Untreated. Discover Hope & a Better Life Instead.
Depression can make even ordinary tasks feel overwhelming. You may feel emotionally drained, unmotivated, disconnected from others, or stuck in patterns that are self-defeating and difficult to change.
Sometimes depression looks and feels like sadness. It can also appear as:
-
Fatigue or low energy
-
Lack of motivation
-
Irritability or impatience
-
Withdrawal from relationships
-
Difficulty concentrating
-
Feelings of hopelessness
-
Changes in sleep or appetite
-
Feeling “numb”
-
Harsh self-criticism

Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy for Depression
1. I Am Depressed Because a Number of Bad Things Have Happened in My Life Lately. Can’t I Just Wait It Out? Won’t It Get Better With Time?
Actually, people are resilient and often will recover from losses and challenges without help. However, sometimes a faulty belief system or the meaning you attach to certain events can keep you stuck in negative thought patterns. Understanding your perception of events, changing your perspective, and/or employing simple strategies can provide relief more quickly.
2. I've Been Depressed for a Long Time, but There Is No “Obvious” Source or Reason for It. Can I Feel Better Even if I Don’t Know Why I'm Depressed?
Yes you can. It is not necessary to identify a reason for your depression. Working together we may be able to find early experiences or messages that have led to patterns of negative thinking. But even without identifying a source, you can take steps to feel better.
3. Do You Prescribe Medication for Depression?
Anti-depressant medication can be an effective part of treatment for serious depression. We can discuss the pros and cons of medications, and if you decide to take that step, I can help you find the right person to evaluate your needs.
