You know sadness is a normal part of life and that's why you did not notice the depression symptoms at first. Chalking up the lack of interest in your usual hobbies and activities to being in a funk or just having a bad day. You thought you would ‘snap out of it’, but then days turned into weeks and then months. When did things that came easy become so hard? You just want things to go back to how they were before.
The things that used to be so easy now feel impossible, like keeping up with friends, keeping a clean apartment, or even doing your morning routine. You don’t feel connected to yourself or the world around you. You’re feeling more irritable and less tolerant of others around you and find yourself crying frequently. This leads you to think "What's the point?" when you do try to engage in activities that used to make you happy. You miss the easier times when things didn’t feel so heavy.
You may feel like your depression is weighing you down and you can’t find your normal self. But at Manhattan Wellness our depression therapists want to help you work through what’s been weighing you down and get you feeling like yourself again. We believe that you can feel empowered by making small changes and a strong support system behind you. You are not alone in your journey to seeing life through a more positive lens, we are here for you every step of the way-always.
At Manhattan Wellness, we understand that depression is a complex condition that affects each person differently. Our depression therapists will meet you where you are and provide you with the support and empathy you need. We know that depression is not something you can simply solve overnight, which is why we'll work with you to find small steps toward change and provide you with a sense of relief from how you're feeling.
Therapy for depression treatment is designed to provide long-lasting results, enabling you to experience improved mood, better sleep, and enhanced motivation. You'll have the opportunity to rediscover activities that bring you joy and find new ones that resonate with you. With our support, you can slowly lift the weight of depression symptoms off your shoulders and experience a sense of calm. This can make decision-making easier and allow you to think more clearly.
We have worked with many individuals who have struggled with depression throughout their lives, as well as those who are experiencing symptoms for the first time. Before coming to us, they felt trapped in a cycle of helplessness and were desperate to regain control of their lives. After working with our depression therapists, they discovered coping skills, developed helpful tools and strategies to use during depressive episodes, and felt capable of taking on life's challenges again.
Our depression therapists are here to be your teammate and support you in your journey to feeling empowered, hopeful, and capable. We know that you are the expert of your own experience and our therapists will work alongside you to offer whatever support necessary to get you through this difficult time. We want to be your partner in creating a life where you can better manage depressive episodes, gain inner strength, and feel capable of overcoming life’s challenges. This way you can begin to feel more yourself again and get back to living the life you love.
At Manhattan Wellness, we approach depression therapy with a mix of modalities. These modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Goal Setting/Vision Planning, and Psychodynamic. We understand that depression affects everyone differently and our depression therapists will create customized treatment plans according to your needs and goals.
