You don’t have to face depression alone — support is here.

Depression can affect every area of your life — your energy, relationships, motivation, and sense of self. Whether you’re feeling persistently down, overwhelmed, or emotionally numb, The Summit Counseling Center offers compassionate support and effective treatment to help you find relief, hope, and healing.

Are You Struggling with Depression?

You may benefit from depression counseling if you:

  • Feel sad, hopeless, or empty most days
  • Have trouble sleeping, eating, or finding energy
  • Struggle with low self-worth or guilt
  • Find it hard to concentrate or complete tasks
  • Withdraw from relationships or activities you once enjoyed
  • Experience thoughts of self-harm or not wanting to live

Our Approach

Our therapists provide a safe and caring environment where you can share openly and begin to heal. We use evidence-based approaches such as those listed below.

Therapy is tailored to meet you where you are — helping you take steps toward stability, connection, and renewed purpose.

You’re Not Alone in This

With compassionate support, healing and peace are possible. You can move toward relief, connection, and a renewed sense of self.
