What is Depression?

Have you been feeling sad or discouraged about the future?

Do you feel like a failure or blame yourself for the things that haven’t gone well in your life?

Do you struggle to make decisions and have a hard time getting out of bed or completing typical daily activities?

Are you noticing that you’re irritable or agitated?

Have you lost your sense of pleasure in the things that once brought you joy or even stopped doing those things completely?

If you answered yes to the above questions and notice that your mood is getting in the way of your daily activities, you might be experiencing depression and could benefit from therapy.

What if I don’t know what therapy is right for me?

Starting therapy and choosing the right therapist can be overwhelming. We want to make this process as stress free as possible. If you choose to meet with a therapist at New Moon Psychotherapy, you will first have a brief call with our administrative assistant or be asked to complete a brief intake form. The information that you share will help us determine which therapist would be a good fit for you.

You will be connected with the therapists that you are considering working with for a complimentary 15-minute consultation. This is a chance to ask any questions that you might have and to get a feel for the therapists personality so that you can decide if this therapist would be the right fit for you.

Once you choose a therapist, that therapist will perform an assessment and discuss your therapeutic goals. They will then use this information to create a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs.
