What Is Depression?

Depression is more than “feeling down.” It’s a common, treatable mental health condition that affects your emotions, thoughts, energy, motivation, and relationships. For some, it shows up as a persistent heaviness or loss of interest; for others, it can look like irritability, exhaustion, or difficulty focusing. Depression can be influenced by many factors such as biology, life stress, trauma, grief, health conditions, and substance use, and it often improves with the right blend of therapy, lifestyle support, and, when needed, medication coordinated with your medical provider.

At Eagles Counseling, we tailor treatment to your unique story. We’ll help you understand what’s driving your symptoms and create a plan that fits your goals, values, culture, and family needs.

What Are the Symptoms of Depression?

Depression can look different from person to person. Common signs include:

• Persistent sadness, emptiness, or irritability
• Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies, school, work, or relationships
• Changes in sleep (insomnia or oversleeping)
• Appetite or weight changes
• Fatigue or low energy
• Trouble concentrating, making decisions, or remembering details
• Feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or hopelessness
• Physical symptoms (headaches, stomach issues, general aches) with no clear cause
• Withdrawing from friends and family
• Thoughts of self-harm or suicide

If you’re experiencing thoughts of harming yourself or others, call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or seek emergency care immediately.

How Do I Know if I Need a Depression Therapist?

Consider reaching out if any of the following feel familiar:

• Your mood or motivation gets in the way of school, work, parenting, or relationships
• You’re relying on substances to cope or you’re worried about addictive patterns
• You’ve tried to “push through,” but symptoms keep returning
• You’re navigating grief, trauma, or major life changes
• Your child or teen shows ongoing irritability, withdrawal, or academic changes
• You want practical skills and a supportive space to heal

A professional assessment can clarify what’s going on and point you toward effective next steps.

What Happens During Depression Therapy at Eagles Counseling?

Warm, judgment-free start

Your first sessions focus on getting to know you — your history, strengths, stressors, and goals. If you’re using insurance, a mental health evaluation is typically required to demonstrate medical necessity. Our licensed clinicians conduct thorough interviews and, when appropriate, use psychometric tools to inform diagnosis and treatment planning.

Personalized treatment plan

Together we design a plan that may include:

• CBT to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors
• DBT to build skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier relationships
• EMDR for trauma-related depression or when past experiences feel “stuck”
• Music therapy to access emotion, expression, and regulation in creative ways
• Addiction support when substance use and mood concerns overlap
• Family or couples sessions to strengthen communication and support systems

Flexible format & access

Choose in-person sessions or telehealth by secure video or phone, whatever fits your schedule and comfort. We offer daytime, evening, and weekend availability.

Inclusive, values-respecting care

Eagles Counseling is an inclusive practice. We welcome and respect people of all races, ethnicities, religions and non-religion, ages, abilities, occupations, sexual orientations, and gender identities. We work with your beliefs and values, never against them.
