Depression is one of the most common mental health concerns, yet it often feels deeply isolating. Whether it shows up as persistent sadness, loss of motivation, changes in sleep or appetite, or difficulty finding joy in daily life, depression can impact relationships, work, and overall well-being. The good news is—you don’t have to walk through it alone.

At Soma Counseling and Wellness, we specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based support for individuals experiencing depression. Through counseling, you can begin to understand the roots of your struggles, learn tools to regulate your nervous system, and find new ways to experience peace and purpose.



Why Counseling for Depression Helps

Therapy creates a safe and supportive space to explore what’s beneath the surface of your symptoms. Working with a licensed therapist can help you:

  • Identify thought patterns that contribute to feelings of hopelessness

  • Build coping strategies that support mental and emotional resilience

  • Develop healthier routines that positively impact mood and energy

  • Strengthen relationships that may feel strained during difficult times

  • Reconnect with your values, goals, and sense of meaning


Through a holistic and somatic approach, counseling not only addresses the emotional and cognitive aspects of depression but also the physical toll it takes on the body. Practices such as grounding, mindfulness, and gentle breathwork are often integrated into sessions to support whole-person healing.



Common Signs You Might Benefit from Counseling

  • Feeling persistently sad, empty, or numb

  • Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed

  • Withdrawal from friends and family

  • Fatigue or lack of motivation

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

  • Feelings of worthlessness or guilt


If you notice several of these signs lasting more than two weeks, it may be time to reach out for help.


Counseling Tailored to You

Every individual’s experience with depression is unique. At Soma Counseling and Wellness, we tailor treatment to your needs. We draw from approaches such as:


  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To challenge negative thought patterns

  • Somatic Therapy: To regulate the nervous system and reduce physical stress responses

  • Mindfulness-Based Counseling: To bring greater presence and self-awareness

  • Relationship Counseling (if needed): To strengthen support systems and improve communication


By blending talk therapy with somatic practices, you receive tools that support healing both emotionally and physically.
