Therapy for Depression & Low Mood
Online therapy with Malka Pill, LCSW — available throughout New York State.
Depression is often quieter than people expect. It's not always crying — sometimes it's flatness, a slow disinterest in things you used to care about, or the sense that everything takes twice the effort it should.
If getting through the day is using everything you have, you are not lazy and you are not failing. You're carrying something heavy.
You might recognize some of this
- Waking up already tired
- Losing interest in people, hobbies, or plans
- Trouble concentrating or making small decisions
- Feeling like a burden to the people around you
- Sleeping or eating noticeably more or less than usual
How we'd work on it together
We begin small and concrete. Depression drains motivation first, so waiting to feel like doing things rarely works — instead we find the smallest steps that give you a little energy back, and build from there.
Alongside that, we look at the beliefs depression tends to install: that nothing will help, that you've always been this way, that other people manage better. Those thoughts feel like facts. We test them.
I also pay attention to what's actually happening in your life — grief, caregiving, health changes, isolation — because low mood usually has a context, and it deserves to be taken seriously rather than explained away.
