Welcome to Wholesome Psychology, where your well-being is our utmost priority. Depression is a heavy cloud that affects countless individuals. Our collaborative and empathetic approach aims to help you work through the pain, and find hope on the other side. At Wholesome, we believe that together we can create a tailored plan to address your unique needs and challenges.

What is Depression?

Depression extends beyond mere feelings of sadness or temporary struggles; it represents a significant mental health disorder that has the potential to pervasively affect every facet of an individual's existence. Symptoms may include a persistent feeling of sadness, lack of interest in previously enjoyable activities, changes in sleep and appetite, and sometimes, thoughts of self-harm or suicide. It’s crucial to understand that depression is not a sign of weakness, nor is it something to be taken lightly.

The Causes and Contributing Factors

Various factors contribute to depression. These can include genetics, chemical imbalances in the brain, trauma, stress, and major life changes. Sometimes, it’s a combination of these elements. At Wholesome Psychology, we understand that navigating the multifaceted nature of depression is not easy. Our therapists are here to explore these factors with you, and guide you in understanding the roots of your depression.

Our Holistic Approach to Tackling Depression

Our approach is grounded in collaboration and empathetic understanding. In line with Gestalt theory, we believe that integrating various skills and perspectives leads to a more effective treatment plan. As a client at Wholesome, you bring a unique set of experiences and strengths to the table. We consider these invaluable in formulating your personalized path to recovery.

Building a Strong Therapeutic Relationship

At Wholesome, we recognize the importance of a strong client-therapist relationship. Finding the right fit can be daunting. To ease this process, we offer all new clients a first session at half the price. In this session, you can discuss your concerns openly, and together, we can lay the foundation for a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This is an opportunity for you to gauge if our approach feels right for you.
