Depression Therapy

Feeling Like You’re Pushing a Boulder Uphill? We Can Help.
Therapy that supports autistic adults and teens (12+) through creativity, sensory awareness, and strengths-based strategies
Living with depression can feel like an endless struggle—like you’re pushing a boulder uphill, only to have it roll back down every time you make progress. The weight is exhausting, and no matter how much you try, it feels like nothing changes.
At Kindred Art Therapy, we understand that depression isn’t just about sadness—it’s about numbness, exhaustion, and feeling stuck. Our approach helps you rediscover hope, build resilience, and find new ways to move forward—without having to carry the weight alone.
Who We Help:
We support adults and teens (ages 12+) who are experiencing:
✔ Persistent sadness, emptiness, or loss of interest in life
✔ Exhaustion and difficulty getting out of bed
✔ Feeling like everything is just “too much”
✔ Overwhelming guilt, self-criticism, or worthlessness
✔ Emotional numbness or detachment
✔ Lack of motivation, even for things you once enjoyed
✔ Struggles with focus, sleep, or appetite
✔ Depression related to ADHD, autism, or life transitions
How Therapy Helps with Anxiety:
🖌️ Art Therapy – Externalizes heavy emotions and offers relief without needing words
