Depression
Finding Light in the Darkness
At Life Redefined, we understand that depression doesn’t always look like deep sadness. It can appear as exhaustion, irritability, numbness, or simply not feeling like yourself. Whether you're a teenager navigating school pressures, a parent juggling responsibilities, or someone quietly suffering behind a smile—depression can feel like a heavy fog that just won’t lift.
You’re not alone. Our therapists are here to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and strategies that truly help. Together, we’ll work to make that fog feel a little less heavy, one step at a time.

True or False? If you’re still functioning—going to work, taking care of kids, managing your to-do list—you can’t be depressed.

A Deeper Dive into Understanding Depression
Depression is one of the most common mental health struggles—and also one of the most misunderstood. It’s not just about “feeling down” or having a tough week. Clinical depression is a complex emotional and physiological condition that affects how you think, feel, and function on a daily basis.
Common symptoms of depression may include:
Lack of motivation or energy
Changes in appetite or sleep
Irritability or restlessness
Difficulty concentrating
Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
Emotional numbness
Withdrawing from people or activities
No two experiences of depression are the same. That’s why we take a personalized approach to therapy—meeting you where you are, without judgment.
How We Approach Depression Therapy
At Life Redefined, we believe in a whole-person approach. We begin by creating a space where you feel heard and safe—no pressure to perform or explain yourself.
Our therapists draw from evidence-based practices like:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and reframe negative thought patterns that fuel depressive cycles.
Mindfulness-Based Approaches: Support emotional regulation and increase self-awareness.
Narrative Therapy: Allows clients to re-author their story and reconnect with their strengths.
Attachment-Focused Techniques: Explore early relationship dynamics that may still impact current mood and self-worth.
For some clients, we integrate discussions around faith, trauma, grief, or identity work as needed. Healing is not one-size-fits-all—and your voice matters in shaping the process.
Goals + Objectives:
Create a safe, nonjudgmental space to process emotions
Develop tools to manage low energy, irritability, and hopelessness
Identify and challenge negative self-beliefs
Reconnect with meaningful people, goals, and activities
Foster self-compassion, confidence, and emotional resilience
Next Steps:
Depression may tell you that nothing will ever change—but that’s not true. With the right support, things can get better. Whether you’re ready to talk or just exploring your options, we’re here when you’re ready.
