You don't have to face depression alone.
Depression
Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a rough day—it’s a persistent mental health condition that can impact every aspect of your life. If you’re struggling with overwhelming feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or exhaustion, know that help is available. At Mind Shift Therapy & Neurofeedback, we provide compassionate, evidence-based support to help you regain balance and rediscover joy.
Understanding Depression
Depression can manifest in many ways, affecting your thoughts, emotions, and physical well-being. Common symptoms include:
Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
Fatigue or lack of energy, even after rest
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
Our Approach to Treating Depression
At Mind Shift Therapy & Neurofeedback, we tailor our treatment approach to meet your unique needs. Our therapists are trained in a variety of evidence-based modalities, including:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Helps process past experiences and reduce emotional distress linked to trauma.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Focuses on identifying and reshaping negative thought patterns.
Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR): Targets the deep emotional circuits in the brain to resolve underlying distress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps reframe negative thoughts and build healthier coping mechanisms.
Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Techniques: Encourage emotional regulation and self-kindness.
Neurofeedback Therapy: Supports brain regulation and emotional stability.
