Specialties
Depression
When getting through the day takes everything you have, small steps count.
Who This Is For
When the color drains out of things
You might feel flat rather than sad. The things you used to enjoy feel like chores, texts go unanswered and the couch wins most evenings.
Some people feel disconnected from their kids or partner. Others feel stuck at work or in life. If you recognize yourself here, you deserve support.
What We Work On
What we pay attention to
- 01
Low energy
Working with the energy you have instead of waiting for more.
- 02
Losing interest
Finding one small thing that used to matter and testing it again.
- 03
Feeling stuck
Breaking big tasks into pieces small enough to start.
- 04
Disconnection
Reaching back toward people, even in tiny ways.
- 05
Self-criticism
Turning down the inner voice that calls you lazy or broken.
How I Work
Small steps, kindly taken
CBT
Within CBT we use behavior activation: scheduling small, doable actions, like a ten-minute walk or a call to a friend, and noticing how mood responds. We also look at thoughts that keep you stuck.
DBT
DBT skills help on the hardest days, when you need to get through a moment without making it worse. We pair this with self-compassion, inspired by Kristin Neff.
What Sessions Look Like
Showing up is enough to start
- Where
- Virtual, from anywhere in New York State
- Length
- 45 to 50 minutes
- When
- Day, evening and weekend times
Sessions are by video, so you can join from home on a low day. We keep goals small and specific, and adjust them as your energy changes. Day, evening and weekend times are offered.
Progress may look like one walk, one meal or one reply. Those count.
What Can Shift
- A little more structure in your days
- Kinder ways of speaking to yourself
- Moments of connection with people you care about
These are hopes we work toward together, not guarantees.
A Calm Note
