If you’re feeling stuck, numb, or like yourself has gone missing, you’re not alone. Our therapists in NYC offer compassionate, evidence-based care for depression: grounded in identity-affirming, trauma-informed support.
Learn About Therapy for Depression
Depression therapy helps people move through experiences of sadness, numbness, disconnection, or hopelessness. It can include evidence-based approaches like CBT, EMDR, or talk therapy, and may explore both the internal and external factors that contribute to depressive symptoms like trauma, systemic stress, or relationship patterns.
There’s no one-size-fits-all path through depression. What matters most is having a therapist who gets it, and who can sit with your pain while helping you build toward relief, connection, and meaning.
Schedule a Consultation
At Expansive Therapy, we approach depression with curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to truly seeing you.
Our NYC therapists include licensed professionals and supervised associates trained in trauma-informed care, EMDR, CBT, and relational therapy.
Sessions are tailored to your pace and needs, whether you’re just beginning to name what you’re feeling or looking to deepen long-term healing.
We hold space for the intersection of depression with identity, isolation, grief, and burnout, especially for LGBTQIA+ clients navigating multiple layers of stress and systemic harm.
Learn About Our Therapeutic Approach
Starting therapy for depression doesn’t require you to feel “ready," just willing.
In your first sessions, your therapist will help you explore what’s weighing you down and how it’s affecting your mood, body, relationships, and sense of self.
You might work on developing coping tools, identifying internal narratives, or simply learning to feel again after a period of numbness or shutdown.
There’s no pressure to be “productive” in sessions. We focus on creating a space where you can show up as you are, without masks, without fixing, and without judgment.
