Depression doesn’t always look like sadness—it can feel like heaviness, numbness, or simply the absence of joy. At Encompass Therapy & Counseling in Southlake, TX, we provide therapy for children, teens, and adults living with depression. Whether you’re experiencing overwhelming sadness, struggling to get out of bed, or just don’t feel like yourself anymore, we’re here to support you with care that meets you where you are.
You don’t have to pretend everything’s fine. Depression is more common than people think, and it can affect every part of life—relationships, work, school, and your sense of self. Therapy creates a space where you can explore those feelings, understand what’s behind them, and begin building a path toward relief and renewed connection.
Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a bad day. It’s a serious mental health condition that can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming. For many people, it comes with feelings of emptiness, irritability, guilt, or hopelessness that just don’t go away.
Some of the most common symptoms include:
Depression can be triggered by life events, trauma, health issues, or it may appear without an obvious cause. Regardless of how it shows up, you deserve support that helps you understand it—and move through it.
Depression doesn’t just affect adults. Children and teens experience it too, though it may look different. Young people with depression may seem more irritable than sad. They might lose interest in playing, struggle in school, isolate from friends, or experience physical complaints like stomachaches or headaches without a clear reason.
At Encompass Therapy & Counseling, we offer age-appropriate therapy to help children and teens:
We also work closely with parents, offering updates, guidance, and support so the entire family can move forward together.
For many adults, depression can feel like walking through life with a constant weight. It may impact your ability to concentrate at work, maintain relationships, or find motivation in everyday tasks. You might appear to be “functioning” while feeling completely disconnected inside.
We support adults by:
Therapy gives you space to breathe, reflect, and gradually rebuild a life that feels more manageable—and more like your own.
Therapy won’t solve everything overnight, but with steady support, it can bring real relief. It helps you feel less overwhelmed, rebuild energy and motivation, and reconnect with your values and sense of self. You’ll learn practical strategies to manage symptoms, improve relationships, and start experiencing moments of calm, clarity, and meaning again. Even small steps forward can lead to powerful change—and we’ll be there with you for each one.
Depression is most treatable when addressed early. If you’ve been feeling persistently down, disconnected, or exhausted—or you’re simply not yourself—it may be time to talk to someone. Whether you’re withdrawing from others, struggling after a loss, or unsure where to begin, therapy can help.
