UNDERSTANDING DEPRESSION

When the everyday takes more effort.

Depression can affect more than your mood. You may notice changes in energy, interest, sleep, concentration, or how connected you feel to others. Responsibilities that once felt manageable may become harder to approach.

Therapy offers space to understand what you are experiencing and explore support that fits your needs. You do not need to explain everything clearly or know where to begin before reaching out.

You do not have to feel motivated to deserve support.
HOW IT CAN SHOW UP

Depression can affect daily life.

Your experience is your own. These are some concerns you may recognize.

Low energy

Having trouble sleeping, sleeping more than usual, or struggling to feel rested.

DEPRESSION THERAPY

Questions are welcome.

You do not need a diagnosis or a clear explanation of how you feel to reach out. Here are answers to some common questions about getting started.
HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER TO SEEK THERAPY FOR DEPRESSION?
You may want support if low mood, loss of interest, low energy, or feelings of disconnection are affecting your daily life. Changes in sleep, appetite, concentration, or relationships can also be reasons to reach out. You do not need to wait until things become overwhelming. Megan can discuss your concerns and whether her services fit your needs.
DO I NEED A DEPRESSION DIAGNOSIS BEFORE REACHING OUT?
No. You do not need an existing diagnosis to contact Megan. You can begin by describing what you notice, what feels difficult, and what you would like help with. Assessment can help clarify your concerns and guide treatment. If you plan to use insurance, Megan can explain any assessment and diagnosis requirements associated with your coverage.
HOW DOES MEGAN APPROACH DEPRESSION THERAPY?
Megan begins by understanding your experiences, current concerns, strengths, and goals. Together, you can explore patterns of thinking, relationships, routines, and circumstances that may affect your mood. Treatment may include approaches such as CBT or other therapies suited to your needs. The work is collaborative, with attention to manageable steps and what feels helpful to you.
DO I HAVE TO TAKE MEDICATION FOR DEPRESSION?
No. Reaching out for therapy does not commit you to taking medication. Depression treatment may involve psychotherapy, medication, or both, depending on your symptoms, needs, and preferences. Megan provides therapy and does not prescribe medication. If you would like to explore medication, or if an evaluation is recommended, a qualified prescribing clinician can discuss the options with you.
CAN WE MEET ONLINE?
Megan offers online therapy for clients located in Texas, as well as in-person sessions in Melissa. When you reach out, she can discuss availability and whether online or in-person care is appropriate for your needs. For online sessions, a private space where you can speak comfortably is important.
READY WHEN YOU ARE

You do not have to manage this alone.

Begin with what feels difficult, what has changed, or the questions you are carrying. You do not need to feel hopeful or know what comes next to ask for support.

Private-pay therapy is $165 for a 60-minute session.
