Depression Therapy in Altamonte Springs
Support for the heaviness you can’t shake.
When the weight won’t lift
Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it’s the constant exhaustion that sleep can’t fix, the flatness you feel when nothing seems to matter, or the pressure to smile when you feel empty inside. It can creep in slowly or crash in all at once—leaving you disconnected from the world around you, and even from yourself.
You might be showing up for work, answering texts, taking care of others—but inside, you feel like you’re moving through fog. Maybe you’ve started to wonder if things will ever feel different. Maybe you're just trying to make it through the day.
At New Light Counseling, we understand how heavy depression can be—and how isolating. But you don’t have to carry it alone. With the right support, healing isn’t just possible—it’s real.
What Depression can look like
Common Symptoms of Depression Include:
Persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness
Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Low energy or fatigue
Feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or hopelessness
Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
If these feelings resonate with you, please know that depression is treatable, and support is available.
How we treat depression at New Light Counseling
We take an integrative, compassionate approach to depression therapy. This means meeting you where you are, honoring your experience, and tailoring our work to your needs and goals.
Our clinicians may incorporate:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to help shift self-critical or hopeless thought patterns
EMDR – especially helpful when depression is tied to past trauma
Mindfulness and somatic techniques – to reconnect you with your body and support nervous system regulation
Existential and narrative therapy – to explore meaning, identity, and emotional depth
Relational, client-centered counseling – grounded in empathy, safety, and real human connection
We know depression can feel isolating—but you don’t have to do this alone. We walk with you as you begin to reconnect with your self, your story, and your life.
