Find Support and Healing Through Therapy for Depression
At Plan Purpose Counseling, therapy for depression offers a compassionate, personalized approach to help you overcome the feelings of hopelessness, exhaustion, and emotional heaviness that can accompany depression. Whether you’ve been dealing with persistent sadness, loss of interest in things you once enjoyed, or difficulty functioning day-to-day, our sessions are tailored to meet your unique needs. With guidance and evidence-based techniques, we aim to empower you to regain your sense of purpose and improve your emotional well-being.
Therapy for depression provides a confidential, safe space where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we’ll explore the underlying causes of your depression, develop strategies for managing symptoms, and build coping mechanisms to foster long-term healing. Our goal is to support you through this process, helping you rediscover hope and strength. Areas of focus may include:
Managing Low Mood and Fatigue
Depression can leave you feeling emotionally and physically drained. Therapy offers tools to address these symptoms, helping you restore energy and lift your mood, so you can engage with life more fully.
Exploring Underlying Issues
Therapy for depression helps you identify the root causes of your depression, whether they’re related to past trauma, grief, stress, or unresolved emotional issues. Together, we’ll work through these underlying factors to foster deeper healing.
Coping with Feelings of Hopelessness
Persistent feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness are common in depression. Therapy helps you challenge these negative thoughts and replace them with a more balanced, compassionate view of yourself.
Building Coping Skills
In therapy, you’ll develop a toolkit of coping strategies to manage depressive symptoms and prevent them from overwhelming you in the future. These skills provide a foundation for maintaining emotional stability and improving overall mental health.

Duration of Therapy
Most clients begin with weekly sessions. Depending on your unique history, experiences, and goals; counseling may be short-term, lasting 6-8 sessions, or more extended therapy which can be anywhere from 6 months to years. I believe that there should be an ongoing dialogue during counseling, from initial contact to termination, about the process, goals and how it is working. We will discuss together how often and how long you will continue therapy. I find that regular sessions initially help to ensure you get your needs met and we can form a strong partnership. The goal is to assure that you are getting the best quality care to meet your needs.
