Therapy for Depression: Finding Hope and Healing

Depression Treatment Houston TX

Life can be overwhelming at times. Maybe you’ve been feeling stuck in a fog of sadness, struggling to find motivation, or caught in a loop of negative thoughts.

Depression isn’t something you can just "snap out of," and it’s not a sign of weakness. It’s a complex condition that can affect anyone, regardless of their strength or resilience, often stemming from biological, emotional, or environmental factors beyond your control.

It’s a challenge many people face, and you don’t have to face it alone.

Depression can arise from all kinds of life events:

  • A difficult breakup.

  • Losing a loved one or beloved pet

  • Facing challenges in your career or relationships.

  • Major life transitions, like becoming a parent or moving to a new place.

  • From unprocessed difficult experiences

Sometimes, depression isn’t tied to a specific event—you just know something feels off, and joy feels harder to find. Perhaps you’ve gone through a difficult breakup, lost a loved one, or faced challenges in your career or relationships.

Maybe you’ve had a major life transition, like becoming a parent or moving to a new place, and you’re feeling lost. Sometimes, depression isn’t tied to a specific event—you just know something feels off, and joy feels harder to find.

Therapy offers a safe space to unpack your feelings without judgment.

This means creating an environment where you can share your thoughts and emotions freely, knowing they will be met with understanding and care.

My style blends solution-focused therapy with a collaborative approach.

This combination is particularly effective for treating depression because it not only focuses on identifying practical, immediate steps to create positive change but also ensures the process is deeply personalized. Together, we build strategies rooted in your strengths and experiences, helping you feel empowered and understood.

Clients often find it helpful to explore difficult emotions or life events without fear of criticism, while receiving compassionate support and guidance. Together, we can explore what’s weighing you down and develop practical tools to help you move forward. Through our work, we’ll focus on:

  • Gaining insight into what’s fueling your depression.

  • Identifying small, actionable steps to regain a sense of purpose.

  • Processing unresolved distressing experiences to begin healing.

What does that mean for you?

Solution-focused therapy helps us identify and build on your strengths, focusing on the changes you’d like to see and creating a roadmap to get there. Collaborative therapy means you’re the expert on your life—we work together to tailor solutions that resonate with you, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

For example, if you’re struggling with self-doubt after a setback, we might explore moments when you overcame challenges in the past and build on that confidence. If your relationships feel strained, we’ll work on communication strategies to help you feel more connected and understood.

Depression doesn’t have to define you—there is hope, and there is help.

Taking the step to start therapy can feel daunting, but it’s also a powerful step toward reclaiming your life. If you’re ready to take that step, schedule a consultation and start exploring a path toward hope and healing.

If you’re ready to begin this journey, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

  • Currently, our therapists are meeting in person or through virtual sessions. We use a secure HIPAA platform (Simple Practice) to conduct virtual video sessions which you can access on your computer, tablet, or phone.

  • All major credit cards are accepted for payment.

  • Because it is difficult to fill a cancelled appointment without sufficient notice, appointments cancelled without 24 hours notice and missed (no-show) appointments will be charged the full cost of the session.

  • We are not in-network with any insurance companies, so we do not bill directly. With PPO insurance plans, we are considered out-of-network providers and you may be reimbursed in full or in part, depending on your coverage. We can provide you with a monthly superbill to give to your insurer that is a receipt of services that may meet the criteria for individual mental health diagnosis (a requirement for any insurance compensation). Please check your coverage by asking the following questions:

    Does my plan provide out-of-network reimbursement for mental health?

    Is there a deductible I need to meet before you will start to reimburse me?

    How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

    What percentage of the fee do you cover?

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your health care will cost

    Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have certain types of health care coverage or who are not using certain types of health care coverage an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided.

    • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any health care items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

    • If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling. You can also ask any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after you ask.

    • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.
