Depression

Depression Counseling for Professionals, College Students, Graduate Students, Teachers, Administrators, Clergy, Nurses, and Other Professionals Across Virginia

Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming. It’s more than just feeling sad—it can affect your energy, motivation, relationships, and ability to function at work, school, or home. If you’re struggling with persistent feelings of sadness, exhaustion, or hopelessness, you don’t have to go through it alone. Support is available.


Signs You May Be Struggling with Depression:
  • Feeling drained, fatigued, or unmotivated, even after rest

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

  • Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed

  • Feeling isolated, withdrawn, or disconnected from others

  • Changes in sleep patterns—sleeping too much or struggling with insomnia

  • Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or worthlessness

  • Using unhealthy coping mechanisms like overeating, substance use, or avoiding responsibilities


How Therapy Can Help:
  • Identify the root causes of your depression and develop personalized coping strategies

  • Learn techniques to improve energy, motivation, and emotional resilience

  • Work through negative thoughts and self-doubt

  • Rebuild relationships and strengthen your support system

  • Develop healthy routines to improve mood and overall well-being

  • Address workplace or academic stress contributing to depression

  • Gain tools to navigate life transitions and rediscover a sense of purpose
