Depression Therapy in Concord,NC
Online Therapy throughout North Carolina
Frustrated with feeling numb, exhausted, and isolated? I help my clients get unstuck, reclaim their self-worth, and step back into their life with confidence and excitement. I don’t just teach you how to mask your depression; I help you identify why you are feeling this way and how to make effective, lasting changes.
Is depression therapy right for you?
You’ve survived another long day at work holding it together. You smile. You laugh. Your boss compliments your work. You finish your projects and give cheerful goodbyes. Then, you finally get home...
Many believe that depression is “just feeling sad.” While sadness can be a part of depression, it is far more complex. Many people share that it feels more like being numb. As if you can’t feel anything at all. There is no pleasure. No excitement. It’s difficult to look forward to anything, but it’s also hard to be in the present moment.
The most difficult part is not feeling like yourself. Sometimes you can’t even remember who you are. “I used to enjoy playing soccer, but I can’t even think about lacing up my cleats.” “I thought I loved cooking new meals, so why does even heating up a frozen meal feel like too much effort?”

How therapy for depression can help you!
Depression can be one of the most isolating experiences. That’s why trying to force yourself to feel better on your own doesn’t work. Community, connection, and support are important to feeling safe, seen, and valued.
During our therapy sessions, we will focus on first establishing a safe environment to build our therapeutic relationship. We will identify the specific ways depression is affecting your body, mind, and relationships.
I will help you to not only learn ways to cope with your depression, but I will guide you to discovering the root causes of feeling depressed in order to restore your confidence, control, and peace.
If you would like support in reclaiming meaning and joy in life, book your free consultation for depression therapy in Concord, NC to take the first small step towards a brighter, fuller life. I look forward to meeting you!

When beginning therapy for depression, weekly 60-minute sessions are most effective. This helps create consistency, accountability, and the ability to best measure progress. Many clients find this helpful for the first 3-6 months. Once you feel confident in your progress, sessions are typically reduced to every other week. The timeline looks different for everyone, and we will collaborate together on ensuring your therapy is most effective for you.
-
Clients are able to schedule sessions via their own client portal. You can schedule week to week or a few weeks out. If you prefer meeting at the same day/time every week, I can block that time for you as long as you show up for your sessions. We can also discuss different scheduling options during our consultation call.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellations and rescheduled sessions will be subject to a full charge if not received at least 24 hours in advance. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. If you are late for a session, you may lose some of that session time. If you are able to reschedule within the same week, the late cancellation fee will be dropped.
