Depression can be observed in many forms, but usually appears as lasting sadness and a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable.  If you are unable to shake the sadness, or if events in your life have caused you to feel stuck and unable to grow mentally, then psychotherapy can be a big help.  Although it is difficult to ask for assistance, especially for those of us that grew up being taught to “pull yourself by your bootstraps,” your life can benefit from having a therapist to assist you in understanding the way that depression effects your every thought.  If you are hurting, and know that it is time to reach out for help, call anytime to schedule an appointment 800-464-1958.  Do not stand the thin line between healing and hurting alone.
