When Everything Feels Heavy
Waking up shouldn't feel like a struggle, but lately it does. The things you used to love don't bring you joy anymore. There's a persistent heaviness, a sadness that follows you through your day, making even simple tasks feel impossible. Depression can weigh you down so much that managing work, taking care of your family, or even getting through basic routines feels overwhelming. You might feel isolated or like you're moving through life in slow motion, but please know that you're not alone in this struggle. Help is available.
At Between Us Counseling, we offer sensitive and expert depression counseling designed to lift that heavy burden. We provide a truly safe, non-judgmental space where we can work together to understand what's beneath your sadness and start building a path toward renewed well-being. We're committed to ethical, professional practice, offering you high-quality care that blends genuine compassion with evidence-based strategies. Our goal is to help you feel hopeful again—not just about the future, but about today.
Whether your depression showed up suddenly or has been building for months or years, we're here to help you find your way back to feeling like yourself.
When Sadness Becomes More Than Just a Bad Day
People seek counselors for depression for countless reasons, and no two experiences look exactly the same. Sometimes depression shows up as constant sadness that won't lift. Other times it appears as irritability, trouble sleeping, complete exhaustion, or a total lack of motivation to do anything, even things you know you should care about. Major life events like grief, relationship conflicts (which might also benefit from couples counseling), job loss, or significant transitions can trigger or worsen these deep feelings. You might also be searching for depression and anxiety counseling, since these two often go hand-in-hand, making it hard to tell where the worry ends and the sadness begins.
Our psychotherapy for depression helps by providing tailored strategies to address these specific challenges in your life. We work with you to break the cycle of negative thinking, slowly increase motivation, and gently help you re-engage with your life and relationships at a pace that feels manageable. This service is focused on more than just treating symptoms, it's about helping you regain a sense of personal growth, increase self-awareness, and develop lasting coping skills for long-term emotional health. Reach out today to start your journey toward feeling better. Get the Support You Need.
Personalized Care That Meets You Where You Are
We approach your mental health with a dedicated, customized strategy that ensures you receive the most effective care for your unique situation. Our holistic depression therapy integrates our clinical and compassionate approach, focusing on validated techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy for depression (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). These methods give you practical, usable tools to challenge negative thought patterns and regulate overwhelming emotions, helping you move from distress toward genuine resilience.
One of our unique strengths is our focus on career and life transitions. For many adults in Massachusetts, depression is often intertwined with work stress, professional burnout, parenting, divorce, coparenting, or major life changes like navigating a career shift or adjusting to retirement. We address these underlying pressures directly, setting us apart from clinics that focus solely on the diagnosis without considering the full context of your life. Understanding what's contributing to your depression is just as important as treating the symptoms themselves.
We also ensure accessibility through financial transparency and hybrid care options. We accept major local insurance carriers like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and United Healthcare, and we offer flexible online depression counseling services across Massachusetts. Schedule your appointment and take the first step toward feeling lighter. Start your healing journey.
What Recovery Actually Looks Like
The benefits of depression counseling go far beyond just reducing sadness—they include the return of energy, motivation, and a genuine sense of purpose. Our clients consistently highlight the personalized care they receive, often describing our practice as truly collaborative and deeply committed to their individual goals. They report achieving greater peace of mind and feeling genuinely empowered to make positive changes in their lives.
Most importantly, by creating a safe space for honest exploration and healing, we help you move through the darkness and reconnect with the emotional health, connection, and joy you deserve. You don't just feel less depressed, you start feeling like yourself again, with the tools to stay that way.
