Are you feeling hopeless, isolated, or not like your usual self? Do these types of thoughts often enter your mind, despite your best attempt to ward them away:
- I am worthless and can’t do anything about it.
- I feel guilty for just wanting to eat, sleep and be alone.
- I hate who I am these days.
- I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others.
- I feel gut-wrenching pain, but no one understands.
- My life and the world around me are dark. I hate it, but I can’t change it.

Whatever you’re dealing with, we’re here to support you.
The Trouble With Depression
Even in this dark time of your life, social stigma can make it hard to seek help for depression. Worse still is the effect a bad experience with therapy has on an individual and their willingness to trust a mental health professional. Maybe you’ve given therapy a try in the past, but it didn’t work out because your last therapist wasn’t committed to your growth and improvement. Perhaps you’ve had trouble finding providers that use evidence-based methods but still tailor their depression therapy to the individual. No need to worry—we do things differently at The Sanctuary.
Our Approach to Depression Therapy
At The Sanctuary Care & Counseling Center, we know therapy for depression can be as unique as the individual we’re treating. Our therapists take the time to understand your personal story and needs. We utilize evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, to help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns. For clients who find solace in spirituality, we can integrate spiritual perspectives into therapy, aligning our approach with your values and beliefs.
Additionally, we address systemic and cultural factors that can exacerbate depression, especially for individuals from marginalized communities. Whether you’re experiencing situational depression, persistent depressive disorder, or postpartum depression, we tailor our depression therapy to support your specific journey toward healing.
