Therapy is a journey that you and your therapist take together. During trying times, having someone who will walk alongside you is extremely helpful. Your therapist connects with you and tunes in to your unique challenges with the goal of drawing out the healing potential you already have inside of you.

First, depression is incredibly common - far more common than you probably realize. Depression is a condition that affects millions of Americans each year, and hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

While feeling down or hopeless from time to time is a normal part of life, when those feelings last for weeks (or longer), when it starts to impact us physically (eating, sleeping), when it takes a toll on our ability to function (at work, at school, in our relationships), and/or when those feelings just don't seem to be connected to an event or circumstance ("I'm so empty all the time but I cannot tell you why"), this is a strong sign of clinical depression.

Anxiety is a word we hear a lot these days. It seems to have become more common than ever before, with our society beginning to acknowledge its existence as a widespread and not infrequent human experience. Anxiety, in its most basic form, is a feeling of nervousness, worry, or unease about a situation.

Grief is not only normal, it is necessary. We can experience it in response to a host of losses, but let's talk about grief when someone has died. Grief is everything you are feeling, thinking, doing, and experiencing in response to that death. It is the deepest pain and sadness, but also the shock and the anxiety and maybe even the anger.
