Depression often feels like being disconnected—from joy, from motivation, from oneself. Yet within the darkness, therapy can help illuminate sparks of meaning and strength. From a mindfulness and compassion-based ACT approach, we gently shift the focus from eliminating pain to reconnecting with what gives life purpose. Together, we practice showing up for the small moments, cultivating emotional flexibility, and honoring your efforts with kindness. Healing from depression means rediscovering the courage to engage with life—even when it's hard.
