To create our depression therapy,
we trained personally with:

Clients come to us
when they’re feeling: 

  • Feeling numb or disconnected

  • Loss of pleasure & motivation

  • Trouble sleeping but tired

  • Social withdrawal

  • Excessive rumination

Depression is a pattern of suffering when there is unfelt emotional pain that still needs to be grieved.

Our 3-step approach
to depression therapy

There are lots of myths about depression. Thankfully it’s not “just a chemical imbalance,” or outside of our control.

The disconnection you feel from your life force, energy, motivation, and relationships is your nervous system’s way of protecting you when there is not enough support to process your pain. 

Our depression therapy provides the support you need to express and release what is stuck at the body level. This allows your energy and emotion to flow and restores your life force energy and vitality. Our approach to treating depression is based on the nervous system and applies straight-forward evidence-based techniques.

In sessions you can expect: 

  • Healing begins with a safe and supportive connection. We work at your pace without rushing or pushing.

    (This stage applies relational and person-centered therapies)

  • We build a shared understanding of how your depression operates and what keeps it in place today. In the process, we meet your protective parts that guard emotional burdens and unprocessed losses and we map out what needs to happen in order to heal.

  • Inside every session, we use focused somatic techniques to get to the root of your depression. 

    You'll learn how to listen, really listen, to the signals your body is sending. 

    This awareness work allows blocked energy & emotional pain to discharge & restores you to a baseline of restful alertness and natural motivation and energy. This state becomes a home base you can keep coming back to.

    Exercises include: 

    • State awareness training 

    • Down-regulation & up-regulation–through breath, sound, self-touch & movement

    • Restoration of boundaries, voice & healthy aggression

    You can try out some of our somatic tools here. 

You’ll learn to integrate these tools into work, relationships, exercise and sleep to create a positive upward spiral that supports long-term resilience. 

This isn’t about "coping" or “managing your depression”. It's about upgrading your nervous system to have more capacity and vitality.
