THERAPY 2.0: DEPRESSION

How much of your depression is driven by your environment, your lived experiences, and the story of your life?

Today, life is very difficult for many people. Housing is more expensive, food is more expensiveMany people live isolated lives without a sense of meaning or purpose, even if all their needs are met.

Let's be realistic: feeling depressed can be a reasonable response to difficult circumstances. If this sounds like you, please know you're in the right place to get support.

In therapy, we'll dig deep to understand your depression origin story. What life events happened? What expectations do you have for the future? What feels impossible? What is impossible? Alternately, what realistic changes can we help you make? Equally importantly, are you living with any dysfunctional or unhelpful thought patterns that need to change?

THERAPY 2.0: DEPRESSION

Did you know depression is more common in autistic people? Autistic struggles can lead to chronic frustration, low mood and feelings of isolation and confusion. Does this sound like you?

You may also experience challenges related to daily transitions, environments, masking and isolation. All of these factors (and more) can contribute to depression, low mood, and feelings of apathy, hopelessness or worthlessness. When depressed, autistic people are more likely to develop pronounced hyperfixations, withdraw socially, engage in self-harm, or increase stimming behaviors.

THERAPY 2.0: DEPRESSION

Why should you choose a neurodiverse-affirming therapy practice?

• An open & inquisitive mindset: Neurodiverse-affirming therapy doesn’t assume you’re thinking or operating the “standard” way. Neurodivergent people may look at the world differently. This open-ended, inquisitive approach may lead to challenging key assumptions. This can support insight and growth in neurodivergent and neurotypical people.

• A focus on environments, systems and contexts: Neurodiverse people often need to consider how they fit into their environment, as barriers frequently exist. Rather than automatically orienting the problem inside you, Neurodiverse-affirming therapy explores how external factors may be impactful, important or relevant. This grows self-compassion and empathy, and it spurs the development of unique-to-you tools, strategies and supports. 

• Strengths-focused: When people feel different, it can be important to find and lead with strengths. Neurodiverse-affirming therapy uncovers and helps you supercharge what you do well and what you're proud of. This, quite clearly, can have significant positive therapeutic benefits!
