Therapy for Depression in Westchester, NY

You don't have to feel stuck anymore. You can emerge from the darkness.

You're feeling stuck and hopeless that things won't change. As an adult, you're viewed as someone at the age of having it all figured out, and yet, you don't feel like that's the case. Or you're a teen who is struggling to make sense of the world around you. You feel like you're missing out on the happiness and connection that you want in life.

This isn’t how you want to live your life

You're a new mother. Someone who is supposed to be feeling joy and connection, yet you're feeling isolated and alone. Or you're going through post-partum and feel like no one understands what you're going through. You're not sleeping for more than a few hours at a time. For more than one reason. You feel unmotivated and low in energy. You're tearful and feel like your life is dull. This isn't what you imagined for yourself. Perhaps, you're just a woman who is feeling as if they are just getting through the days, not actually living them. This isn't how you want to live your life. You want to emerge from the darkness and feel joy and connection again. At Lotus Psychotherapy our skilled team of therapists specialize in helping women overcome these struggles in a healthy and productive way.
