What Does Depression Feel Like?
Living with depression can feel like navigating through a dense fog that affects every part of your life—dimming your joy, motivation, and sense of purpose. It might feel like waking up each day with a heavy weight on your chest, where even small tasks feel overwhelming.
Therapy for depression at Holistic Psychotherapy NYC involves an individualized, integrative approach. Together, we explore the emotional and environmental roots of your experience, develop sustainable coping strategies, and support you in building a more compassionate and resilient relationship with yourself. Through evidence-based interventions and a deep commitment to your healing, we walk with you toward more ease, clarity, and connection.
How Is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Treated?
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a form of depression that typically emerges during the fall and winter months when daylight is limited. Symptoms may include persistent low mood, fatigue, changes in appetite or sleep, difficulty concentrating, and withdrawal from once-enjoyed activities.
SAD can feel like living under a dark cloud, affecting your ability to feel energized or hopeful. At Holistic Psychotherapy NYC, we provide personalized therapy for seasonal depression that may include light therapy, somatic practices, and strategies to build emotional resilience through the darker months. Together, we create a plan that supports both your mood and your body’s rhythms.
What Support Is Available for Postpartum Depression?
Postpartum Depression (PPD) is a mood disorder that can occur after childbirth, often marked by sadness, anxiety, exhaustion, and difficulty connecting with your baby. Symptoms may include changes in appetite or sleep, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, irritability, or emotional detachment.
At Holistic Psychotherapy NYC, we offer trauma-informed, relational support for individuals navigating postpartum depression. We take a collaborative approach, often integrating somatic practices and interpersonal therapy. When helpful, we coordinate care with your medical providers or psychiatrist to ensure comprehensive support. Whether you are a new parent or months into postpartum, therapy provides a space to process, heal, and reconnect with your joy and identity.
