Depression Treatment

When many of us hear the word “depression”, our first response tends to be one that minimizes our distress. “How could I have depression?” or “What do I have to be depressed about?” Maybe we’ve received that feedback from those around us as well.

The thing about feeling depressed is that no person is immune from experiencing bouts of feeling down, depleted, unmotivated, hopeless, and helpless. Sometimes, there isn’t even a specific trigger or life event to cause us to feel this way. Depression can be situational or biologically-based. For some, we embody the biological wiring that leaves us a bit more vulnerable to experiencing depression. For others, repeated uncertainty, change, and feeling out of control can bring about this feeling.

Natural catalysts for depression can include grief and loss, moving from one house to another, self-esteem concerns, negative work or school environment, bullying, body image and difficult relationships with food, or family conflict. Any number of life stressors or biological wiring can cause us to feel depressed.


Many situations, external influences, and even our biological make-up can contribute to depression, sometimes making it incredibly difficult to seek therapy services for depression. While medications or traditional therapy methods can help, our hands-on and holistic approach aims to propel your growth even further.

We are dedicated to supporting you in creating a vision of care to promote the reduction of depression symptoms all with extreme attention to detail and years of experience with particular interventions and approaches. With sustainable wellness plans that include elements like holistic nutritional improvements, intentional movement, and depression therapy in New Hope, PA, we bridge the gap between personalized guidance and proven mental health strategies in PA.

Our eclectic and understanding group of therapists takes time to build long-term, nurturing relationships that empower us to gain shared wisdom and insight. Our PA therapists will help you discover: 

  • A Deeper Awareness of Self: If you’re asking yourself “Who am I” and “What do I stand for?” - you aren’t alone! One of the benefits of beginning a deep and long-lasting therapeutic relationship is an improved understanding of your identity through life’s numerous seasons. Part of better understanding ourselves might be looking inward and reflecting on how we interact with our surroundings and how things like our nervous system, brain chemistry, and body health might impact how we interact with the world around us. Our goal is to help you feel proud and accepting of who you are! 

  • Triggers or Traumas That May be Contributing: Learning more about our old wounds and exploring the complexity that is our emotional and physical pain can be an important puzzle piece in your healing journey. Many of us have experienced intergenerational trauma, PTSD, or complex childhood traumas that affect how we see ourselves and those around us as well as our ability to navigate and tolerate distress in our daily lives. We are here to help you move bravely toward reparenting and healing your inner child and wading the choppy tides of unprecedented world events and socioeconomic trauma and stress. 

  • Potential Predispositions to Depression: As children, teenagers, adults, or seniors, we will continually face and overcome different stressors and adversity that shape who we continually evolve into. Things like poverty, birth trauma, abuse and neglect, and mental health history within the family can precipitate feelings of depression. Our bodies and minds may be impacted by food sensitivities, autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalances, vitamin deficiencies, and environmental toxins and pollutants that can heighten this distress. Learning more about the connection between mind and body can be an important tool in your journey and we are excited to help! 

  • A Holistic Plan of Action: We pride ourselves on creating a foundation for wellness based on holistic health practices and collaborative care throughout our team. While medication can sometimes be a helpful resource in your journey forward, we strive to take a look at you as a whole person and be curious about physiological concerns that could be impacting how you feel. When working toward a renewed sense of wellness, our team finds that it can be helpful to take a look at important cornerstones of health such as vitamin deficiencies, gut health, intentional movement, and seasonal changes. If you may benefit from medication care and are having trouble finding a psychiatrist in Doylestown who is a good fit for you, our team of holistic Psychiatric Physician Associates provides genetic testing that can be supportive in better understanding how your unique genetic makeup will best interact with the tools available to us.
