Depression can make it difficult to feel like yourself. Activities you once enjoyed may no longer be fulfilling, everyday responsibilities seem overwhelming, and connecting with the people around you takes more energy than you have to give. At Riverside Psychology, I provide therapy for depression from a comfortable office in Westport, Connecticut, with telehealth also available for eligible clients. We’ll work together to understand the patterns contributing to your symptoms and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

Recognizing the Effects of Depression

Depression can present differently from one person to another. In addition to persistent sadness, you may experience:

• Low motivation

• Fatigue

• Irritability

• Difficulty concentrating

• Changes in sleep

• A loss of interest in activities and relationships

You may also find yourself withdrawing from others or falling into routines that make it increasingly difficult to break the cycle of depression. Therapy gives us an opportunity to examine these challenges without judgment and identify realistic opportunities for you.

Evidence-Based Treatment for Depression

I specialize in evidence-based, behaviorally focused therapy, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other research-supported approaches based on your individual needs. During depression therapy sessions, we may work on recognizing unhelpful thought patterns, improving emotional regulation, developing effective coping strategies, and gradually reengaging with meaningful parts of your life. My goal is for you to gain more than insight into why you're struggling. I want you to develop practical skills that you can use outside of therapy, too.
