Therapy for depression and grief in Boston

Tears water our growth.

—William Shakespeare

Maybe you’re fed up with not feeling like yourself, finding no pleasure in the things you used to love to do. Perhaps you feel like staying in bed more often than not these days. You may be feeling overtaken by a sense of sadness, helplessness or worthlessness you can’t shake, or feel just plain exhausted.

Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact in every facet of your life:

  • Struggling to stay focused at work

  • Restlessness and irritability

  • Difficulty feeling connected to other people

  • Trouble getting to sleep, or you sleeping too much

  • Loss of interest in pleasures, including sex

  • Overeating, or appetite loss

  • Digestive problems that don’t get better with treatment

  • Aches and pains that won’t go away

With nearly ten percent of Americans suffering from depression, you’re far from alone. When you feel sad, unmotivated, and hopeless it’s hard to know where to turn. I’m glad you’re here.

Sometimes we might know or suspect a reason for how we’re feeling, and others we might feel at a loss, clobbered by feelings of sadness, worthlessness, or lethargy that seem to come out of nowhere. We can become depressed when we encounter stressful events, navigate big life transitions, or struggle with the legacy of a difficult childhood. Sometimes a subtle shift in our life circumstances or environment can seem to shut us down in a way that doesn’t fully make sense, or we may have just lost a someone close to us and be in the throes of grief.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.
