Depression Counseling
Depression can feel like a million-pound weight that you wear around your neck. You may have some or many symptoms of depression. Every day can feel much the same, with crying, hopelessness, despair, and emptiness. Depression can lighten sometimes and then it can feel crushing at other times. You may have goals for yourself and your life but continuously feel disappointed you can’t complete them. The first thing to understand is that you are not alone and there are ways to feel better. Many people also suffer from depression and there is help for you.​
