Depression, Low Mood & Identity Support
Reconnecting with Meaning, Self-Worth,
and a Sense of Self
Compassionate therapy for feeling disconnected, depleted, or lost
Depression and low mood often show up as numbness, heaviness, loss of motivation, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and your life. For many people, these experiences are closely tied to questions of self-worth, identity, and meaning, especially after long periods of stress, caregiving, trauma, or major life transitions.
Therapy offers a supportive space to gently explore what has been weighing on you, reconnect with what matters, and begin to feel more like yourself again.
How therapy can help
Therapy for depression, low mood, and identity exploration can help you:
reduce feelings of emptiness, heaviness, or emotional numbness
understand patterns of self-criticism and low self-worth
reconnect with meaning, values, and purpose
process grief, loss, or unresolved emotional experiences
build self-compassion and emotional resilience
feel more engaged in relationships and daily life
Support is paced carefully, with respect for your energy, capacity, and lived experience.
A gentle, meaning-centered approach
Depression is not a failure of effort or motivation, it is often a signal that something important has been overwhelmed, lost, or silenced.
Our work, tailored to you, may include:
exploring how your story, experiences, and identity have been shaped over time
addressing shame, guilt, or internalized expectations
using ACT and narrative therapy to clarify values and meaning
integrating nervous-system-informed practices to support emotional regulation
strengthening a compassionate relationship with yourself
Therapy focuses on small, sustainable shifts that support reconnection rather than pressure or forced positivity.
Common experiences addressed in therapy
Clients often seek support for:
persistent low mood or lack of motivation
loss of interest or enjoyment
feelings of worthlessness or self-doubt
identity confusion during life transitions
difficulty finding meaning or direction
emotional exhaustion or burnout
feeling disconnected from self or others
You do not need to have all the answers, therapy is a place to explore them together.
