Therapy for Depression
Finding Your Way Back to Yourself
Maybe you’ve been feeling off for a while. The heaviness that won’t lift, the exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix, or the quiet sense that life just doesn’t feel like it used to.
You may be showing up for work, your family, your friends. But inside, you feel disconnected, numb, or just plain tired. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure this out on your own.
At Anchor Counseling NY, we offer therapy for depression that helps you reconnect with yourself and build a life that feels meaningful again.
Our goal: help you find clarity in the fog.
What Depression Can Look Like
Depression doesn’t always look like lying in bed all day or crying nonstop (though it can). Sometimes it’s:
Going through the motions but feeling detached from what used to bring joy.
Struggling to concentrate or make simple decisions.
Feeling unmotivated, empty, or like you’ve lost your sense of direction.
Irritability, guilt, or self-criticism that just won’t turn off.
Physical symptoms like fatigue, appetite changes, or disrupted sleep.
Depression shows up differently for everyone. What matters most is noticing when the weight starts to feel too heavy to carry alone, and reaching out.
How Therapy Helps with Depression
1. Understanding, not judging. Together, we create space to understand why you’re feeling this way without pressure to “fix it” right away.
2. Building awareness and compassion. Depression often thrives on self-criticism. Therapy helps you shift from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What am I feeling and what do I need?”
3. Learning tools to lift the fog. Through evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and emotion-focused techniques, we help you break unhelpful cycles and reconnect with motivation and purpose.
4. Reconnecting to your life. Healing from depression isn’t about forcing happiness. It’s about learning to move toward what gives your life meaning, even in small, gentle steps.

Anchor Counseling NY
Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, grief, burnout, or something you can’t quite name, we can help you explore what’s underneath and begin to heal.
When to Reach Out
You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable. Many people start therapy when they notice:
“I’m just not myself lately.”
“I can’t seem to find joy in things I used to love.”
“I feel disconnected from others, and from myself.”
“I’m tired of pretending I’m okay.”
Depression can make reaching out feel impossible. But therapy can be that first small step toward lightening the load.
