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
