"Is depression leaving you feeling drained, disconnected, and struggling to find joy in the things you once loved?"

​

Depression can make it feel like the color has drained from your life. Whether you're moving through the motions or feeling stuck in a fog, it’s easy to believe you have to figure it out alone, but you don’t.

At MF Therapy, PLLC, I offer warm, person-centered care that meets you exactly where you are, without judgment or pressure. You’re not broken. You’re human, and healing is possible.

What Does Depression Feel Like?

Depression looks and feels different for everyone. You might notice:

  • Persistent sadness or emotional emptiness

  • Feeling numb or emotionally shut down

  • Low energy, fatigue, or loss of motivation

  • Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much

  • Feelings of worthlessness, shame, or being a burden

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

  • Losing interest in relationships, hobbies, or goals

 

Maybe you’re functioning on the outside, but inside everything feels heavy. Therapy can help bring clarity, meaning, and relief.

What Is Depression Therapy?

Depression therapy helps you explore the roots of your pain, reconnect with your sense of self, and create space for change.

 

At MF Therapy, our work is:

  • Relational – Healing happens through connection. We’ll build a safe, collaborative space where you feel seen and heard.

  • Person-Centered – You are the expert on your experience. Our sessions are guided by curiosity, respect, and your inner wisdom.

  • Trauma-Informed – Depression often grows out of past experiences. We hold those gently, with care and without rushing.

 

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about making space to feel, understand, and grow at your own pace.

Types of Depression Therapy

Depending on what feels supportive for you, we may draw from:

  • Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) – To explore and process the emotional roots of depression

  • Mindfulness & Somatic Practices – To reconnect with your body and inner resources

  • Attachment-Based Therapy – To understand how early relationships affect self-worth and emotional patterns

  • Strength-Based & Insight-Oriented Techniques – To help you rediscover resilience and make meaningful change

 

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Our work is responsive, intuitive, and rooted in what feels right for you.
