Support for the days that feel heavier than they should.
Depression can make everyday life feel distant, exhausting, or hard to explain. Ashé Counseling & Coaching offers therapy for depression in Chicago, Logan Square, River North, and online across Illinois, with care that is grounded, compassionate, and clinically thoughtful.
Therapy for depression can help you feel less alone in what you are carrying.
Depression can affect your mood, energy, relationships, work, parenting, school, self-esteem, and daily routines. It can make simple tasks feel complicated and make connection feel harder to reach. At Ashé Counseling & Coaching, our therapists support clients who are experiencing depression, burnout, grief, major life transitions, anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, and emotional overwhelm.
Our approach is warm and collaborative. We help you slow down, understand patterns, build coping tools, and create realistic steps toward feeling more present and supported.
Low mood and sadness
Support for persistent sadness, tearfulness, hopelessness, numbness, or feeling emotionally disconnected.
Burnout and fatigue
Care for clients who feel depleted, overwhelmed, unmotivated, or unable to keep up with the pace of life.
Life changes and grief
Therapy for depression connected to loss, identity shifts, relationship changes, work stress, or major transitions.
Not sure if what you are feeling is depression?
Our depression assessment can help you reflect on symptoms and decide whether therapy may be a helpful next step. It is not a diagnosis, but it can give you language for what you may be experiencing.
Depression therapy for real life, real responsibilities, and real emotional weight.
Our therapists work with adults, teens ages 12 and up, college students, couples, parents, professionals, creatives, caregivers, and clients navigating stress, identity, grief, relationships, and major life transitions.
