Therapy for Depression

Online and In-Person, Des Moines, Iowa

You feel numb, tired, or like you're just going through the motions. You want to feel better—but you’re not sure how, or if you even can.

Maybe You’re Noticing:

  • Consistent sadness or low mood

  • Loss of pleasure in things you once enjoyed

  • Feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or dread

  • Irritability or frustration

  • Negative or Self-Critical Thoughts

  • Struggling to Complete Daily Tasks

  • Avoidance or Isolation

  • Low Energy

It’s hard to explain what depression feels like because on the outside, everything might look ‘fine.’ But inside, it’s like walking through wet cement—every step takes effort
