Depression is a mental health disorder that affects mood, including how you feel, think, and behave. Everyone feels sad sometimes, but when it starts to affect your ability to perform daily tasks and your ability to enjoy things that typically bring you happiness, you may be suffering from depression. The symptoms of depression vary from person to person, but often include feeling miserable without a clear reason why, anxiety, agitation, insomnia or sleeping too much, hopelessness, changes in eating, and/or foggy thinking. Depression may also cause recurrent thoughts of death or suicide (or even a wish that it would all 'stop' in an abstract sense). If you think you might be suffering from depression, a qualified mental health therapist can help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s depression experts today!

Many of the people I work with are navigating faith transitions, deconstructing long-held beliefs, or healing from the impact of high-control or authoritarian religion. Some come from Mormon or fundamentalist Christian backgrounds and are looking for a safe, supportive space to explore who they are outside of those systems. They’re often seeking clarity, connection, and a more authentic sense of self—even if they’re not sure where to begin.

You’re someone looking for a new way to explore your emotions and experiences—whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. You might be neurodivergent or on the autism spectrum, or managing more complex mental health concerns like Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI).

Many of my clients approach therapy because they have the experience of "getting by" up until a certain point. Maybe there has been a recent life transition that has led you to seek extra support. Maybe you've been able to do relatively well in life, but you've always felt different and as though there is more to unpack. Exploring current and previous patterns can help shed light on your experiences and guide you on where you want to go.
