Depression and Anxiety

Millions of people live with persistent worry, racing thoughts, and a sense of being overwhelmed, while others struggle with deep sadness, loss of energy, and a lack of motivation. National data shows that tens of millions of American adults experience anxiety or depression each year, and many do not receive the care they need. In Massachusetts and Rhode Island, these conditions are just as widespread, affecting students, working adults, parents, and retirees across the region. Many people go years without treatment, either because they feel it’s something they should handle on their own, they’re unsure where to start, or they believe nothing will help.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most well-supported approaches for anxiety and depression. Decades of research, including several hundred randomized controlled trials, demonstrate that CBT helps people identify distorted or unhelpful thinking patterns, reduce avoidance, and build healthier ways of responding to stress and difficult emotions. The strategies you learn don’t just belong in the counseling room; they become part of your everyday toolkit, helping you manage future challenges long after sessions end. If you’re dealing with chronic anxiety, persistent depression, or the constant feeling that you’re on the edge of burnout, evidence-based counseling can help you move toward stability, calm, and a more sustainable sense of well-being.

Maybe you’re carrying a weight that makes even basic responsibilities feel heavy, with depression draining your energy and clouding your sense of direction. Or maybe your mind won’t slow down, with anxiety keeping you tense, restless, and always on edge. In our work together, we’ll get to the root of what’s driving those patterns, build practical tools you can actually use, and help you regain steadiness in your work, your relationships, and your daily life. Step by step, you can get back to feeling more focused, grounded, and in control.
