For low mood, flatness and the weight that makes ordinary days hard to get through.
Who It Is For
When getting through the day takes everything
Depression can look like sadness, but it also looks like numbness, irritability or simply not caring about things that used to matter. We see adults and teens at every level of severity. You do not need to wait until things are unbearable. Many clients call when they notice they have been running on empty for weeks.
