Depression Therapy
Depression Therapy in Utah County | Palisades Counseling
You don’t have to face this alone. Find support, relief, and renewed hope.
Depression can be overwhelming—affecting your energy, motivation, relationships, and ability to engage in daily life. It may feel like something is missing, like you’ve lost touch with who you are or what used to bring you joy. You may be exhausted, irritable, disconnected, or simply numb.
If you’re struggling, know that depression is not a personal failure. It’s a real and treatable mental health condition that many people experience at some point in their lives. At Palisades Counseling, we offer a compassionate space to explore what you’re going through and begin the process of healing.
Understanding Depression
Depression can look different for everyone. It might be ongoing and persistent, or it may show up in response to stress, trauma, loss, or major life transitions. Some people experience it as deep sadness or hopelessness. Others may feel mostly numb, irritable, or disconnected from life.
Common symptoms of depression include:
- Low mood or sadness most of the day
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities
- Changes in appetite or sleep
- Fatigue or lack of energy
- Feelings of worthlessness, shame, or guilt
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Withdrawal from others or isolating
- Thoughts of death or suicide
You don’t have to meet every symptom for depression to be real or valid. If you’re struggling to function or feel like yourself, that’s reason enough to seek support.
How Therapy Helps with Depression
Therapy can provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment to understand your experience, help symptoms, and reconnect. Depression often has layers—emotional, cognitive, relational, even biological—and therapy can help you explore those layers at a pace that feels manageable.
Therapy may support you in:
- Naming and making sense of your emotions
- Identifying unhelpful thought patterns and inner narratives
- Processing past experiences that contribute to your current state
- Rebuilding connection and meaning in your relationships and routines
- Developing coping skills and strategies to support mood regulation
- Restoring a sense of self-worth and agency
There’s no quick fix—but healing is possible. With the right support, many people are able to feel more like themselves again and create a life that feels more aligned and meaningful.
