Does this sound like you?

• Feeling numb, empty, or disconnected from life

• Struggling to find motivation for even the simplest tasks

• Sleeping too much — or hardly at all

• Losing interest in things you once enjoyed

• Feeling weighed down by guilt, shame, or hopelessness

​

If this feels familiar, depression therapy can help you find your way forward.

Our Approach to Depression Therapy

We’ll work together to:

​

• Explore the roots of your depression (trauma, stress, shame, life transitions, or patterns of self-criticism)

• Learn practical tools for regulation, mood management, and energy support

• Rebuild self-esteem and self-compassion

• Strengthen connection with yourself and others

• Address co-occurring struggles such as anxiety, ADHD, or grief

What to Expect

In your first session, we’ll:

​

1. Explore what depression looks like for you (because it shows up differently for everyone)

2. Identify your goals and what “feeling better” would mean in your life

3. Begin building strategies you can use right away to ease the weight of depression

​

You’ll leave with a bit of clarity, next steps, and the reassurance that you don’t have to do this alone.

Why Depression Shows Up

Depression isn’t laziness or weakness, it’s often your brain and body’s way of responding to stress, trauma, or imbalance. For some, it feels like a constant heaviness; for others, it comes and goes in waves.

​

At Fika, we see depression not as “something wrong with you,” but as a signal that your mind and body need care, understanding, and support.

Modalities We Use

EMDR, CBT, ACT, DBT skills, Polyvagal-informed therapy, mindfulness, expressive arts, breathwork, IFS and parts work (ego states).

Your therapist will let you know what they draw from.

Depression doesn’t have to keep holding you back.

With the right support, healing and hope are possible.
