THERAPY FOR DEPRESSION
Therapy for depression for adults in Scarsdale, Park Slope and online across New York.
Depression isn’t just sadness. It can look like exhaustion, numbness, irritability or losing interest in the things and people you care about. Getting through the day can take everything you have.
Our therapists help adults understand what’s keeping them stuck and take practical steps toward feeling like themselves again.
Worried about your teen? See our teen therapy page. Pregnant or recently had a baby? See postpartum therapy.
Maybe it’s hard to get out of bed, focus at work or answer friends’ texts. Things you used to enjoy feel flat, and you’re tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix.
You may have told yourself to just push through. Depression is very treatable, and you don’t have to wait until it gets worse to get support.
You’re getting through the days, but nothing feels like it used to.

How Therapy for Depression Helps
We start by understanding what you’re carrying: your mood, your energy, your relationships and what’s changed. Then we build a plan together.
Depending on your needs, we draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and psychodynamic therapy.
Sessions are warm and practical, with small, doable steps between sessions.
After Therapy, Clients Often…
Have more energy and motivation day to day
Enjoy things and people again
Sleep and eat more regularly
Are kinder to themselves and less self-critical
Feel more connected at home and at work
The goal is lasting change, with skills you can lean on if low periods return.

QUESTIONS
How do I know if it’s depression? You don’t need to know. If low mood, low energy or loss of interest has lasted more than a couple of weeks and is affecting your life, it’s worth talking to someone.
Do you prescribe medication? Our therapists don’t prescribe. If medication might help, we can coordinate with your doctor or a psychiatrist.
What if I’m having thoughts of suicide? If you’re in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911 right away. We’re not a crisis service, but we can provide ongoing support.
Do you see teens for depression? Yes, ages 12–19. See our teen therapy page.
In person or online? Both. We see people in person in Scarsdale and Park Slope, and online anywhere in New York State.
Do you take insurance? We’re private pay, out-of-network, and we provide the paperwork you need to seek reimbursement from your insurance.
