Depression

Living with depression can feel like an unshakable weight—an emotional fog that clouds your ability to experience joy or motivation. Whether it's been a recent development or something you've struggled with for years, depression can deeply affect how you see yourself and the world around you. At GlowMind Counseling, we offer a compassionate, personalized approach to help you understand the root causes of your depression, learn to manage it, and reclaim your sense of hope and vitality.
