Depression/Mood Disorders

​

Feeling Numb, Overwhelmed, and Just Not Like Yourself?

“Why can’t I get motivated at work or home?”
“Why am I crying all the time?”
“Why can’t I sleep… and why do I keep eating instead?”
“My family tries to help, but I just want to be left alone.”
“Does anyone else feel this way?”

If these thoughts sound familiar, you’re not broken—and you’re definitely not alone. Many women in their 20s and 30s find themselves asking these same questions while juggling careers, relationships, motherhood, and expectations that never seem to let up.

Life events like losing a loved one, being criticized by family or coworkers, toxic work environments, or just the relentless pressure to be "on" all the time can lead to depression. You might find yourself withdrawing, going to bed early, feeling hopeless, or losing interest in things that once brought you joy.

These are symptoms of mood disorders, and they’re more common than you think.

There is help—and hope.

At Coping Forward Counseling, I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you understand your emotions, manage stress, and reconnect with your sense of self.

We’ll work together to:
✔️ Regulate your emotions without shutting them down
✔️ Build healthy boundaries and relationships
✔️ Identify what's fueling the depression
✔️ Learn coping strategies that actually work

You're not “too sensitive,” “too emotional,” or “too much.” You're human—and you're allowed to need support.
