Depression Therapy in Berkley and Oak Park, MI

Depression therapy gives you a steady, judgment free place to understand what is weighing you down and build small, realistic steps back toward energy and interest in life. Our licensed therapists treat depression in Berkley and Oak Park, MI, and online across Michigan.

Depression is more than a bad week. It can drain your energy, flatten your interest in things you used to enjoy, and make everyday tasks feel heavy. Many people wait a long time before reaching out because they assume they should be able to push through on their own. You do not have to.

Signs It May Be More Than a Rough Patch

  • Low or empty mood most days for two weeks or longer
  • Losing interest in hobbies, people, or activities you used to enjoy
  • Feeling tired or slowed down even after rest
  • Sleeping much more or much less than usual
  • Changes in appetite
  • Trouble concentrating or making decisions
  • Feeling guilty, worthless, or hopeless
  • Pulling away from friends and family

If several of these sound familiar, talking with a therapist can help. You do not need a diagnosis to start.

How Our Therapists Treat Depression

Our therapists commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you notice the harsh, all or nothing thoughts that come with depression and replace them with more balanced ones. Therapy also focuses on behavior: gently rebuilding routines, connection, and activities that lift mood over time.

Some clients benefit from looking deeper at patterns that keep them stuck. Depending on your therapist, that may include attachment based work, Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), which aims at the root of what is driving symptoms, or mindfulness and self compassion practices.
