Treating Depression
Milford, CT

Depression is a profound challenge that can cast a shadow over every facet of a person's life, affecting emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. At Valiance, our dedicated team of counselors work to provide hope and support for those battling depression, helping them regain control and find their way back to a fulfilling life.



Depression is not simply a passing sadness; it's a complex mental health condition that can leave individuals feeling trapped in a cycle of despair. It can manifest as a persistent lack of interest, energy, and motivation, making even the simplest tasks feel insurmountable. Relationships may suffer, and self-esteem can plummet, creating a sense of isolation and hopelessness.

At Valiance, we recognize that overcoming depression requires a multifaceted approach that addresses the mind, body, and spirit. Our team of experienced therapists, counselors, and life coaches are dedicated to tailoring treatment plans that encompass various evidence-based therapies, lifestyle adjustments, and self-care strategies.

Counseling and recovery from depression is a process of self-discovery and growth. We work with you to encourage you to explore your strengths, values, and aspirations. We guide you to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, fostering a more positive self-perception and cultivating a sense of purpose.  We offer a safe space for sharing, processing emotions, and learning valuable skills to navigate life's ups and downs.



Treating and recovering from depression in college requires a multifaceted approach that addresses both the academic and personal aspects of a student's life. The college environment, with its academic pressures, social dynamics, and newfound independence, can exacerbate feelings of isolation and stress, making it crucial to implement comprehensive strategies for well-being.

Firstly, seeking professional help is paramount.  Our team is able to support students in person and remotely in a flexible, personalized way, that eases stress and fits in seamlessly with the demands of college.
