Feeling down and don’t know where to start?

Have you been feeling sadder or more tearful than usual?

how to recognize the signs of depression?

With all of the inherent stressors, we may encounter as we transition into adulthood, it is extremely common for 20- and 30-somethings to develop depression.

However, it’s not always obvious that what you're going through is depression. If you’re experiencing any of these signs, it might be time to talk to a therapist:

  • Persistent sadness or hopelessness

  • Decreased levels of motivation or energy

  • Changes in sleep or appetite

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Feelings of worthlessness or guilt

  • Loss of interest in things you once enjoyed

  • Increased irritability or restlessness

how to treat depression?

At The Sterling Group, we believe depression is highly treatable — and that no two people experience it the same way. Our therapists draw from a range of evidence-based approaches including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to reframe negative thought patterns

  • Psychodynamic Therapy – to explore deeper emotional roots

  • Mindfulness-Based Therapy – to stay grounded in the present

  • Integrative Therapy – a customized blend for your unique needs

We are here to collaborate with you and your specific priorities, goals, and values, and we will help you develop an understanding of how depression uniquely affects your life.
