Feeling hopeless is tiring and demanding.
Depression can feel like a heavy weight you just can’t shake. Some days, even getting out of bed feels like a huge task. You might feel cut off from the people and things you used to care about and wonder why everything seems so hard all the time. The constant exhaustion, sadness, and hopelessness can make it feel like you’re barely hanging on. But you don’t have to face this by yourself—there is help, and there is hope.
Depression therapy can help you regain a sense of purpose and find relief.

What is Depression Therapy?
While being unmotivated and feeling sad are a regular part of life, depression often feels like a hole you can’t pull yourself out of. Depression therapy is for anyone—teens or adults—who feel stuck in sadness or emotional numbness. It offers a space to talk openly about what you’re going through and start making sense of the overwhelming emotions weighing you down. Whether it’s sleepless nights, hopelessness, or feeling disconnected from life, depression therapy at Silicon Valley Therapy can help you find relief and understanding.
If getting out of bed feels impossible, or if you’ve pulled away from things you used to care about, we’re here to help. Together, we’ll uncover what’s behind your depression, find coping tools that work for you, and gradually rebuild your sense of hope and purpose.
Above all, depression therapy is a safe, judgment-free space to express how you truly feel. We’ll explore how depression is impacting your daily life and create a plan to help you regain control of your thoughts and emotions, one step at a time.

Are You Experiencing Any Of The Following Symptoms Of Depression?
Inability to Sleep or Get Out of Bed
If depression is making it feel impossible to get out of bed, or your sleep has become erratic—either sleeping too much or not at all—you’re not alone. Feeling stuck in bed, weighed down by sadness, exhaustion, or hopelessness, can make each day feel like an uphill battle before it even starts. Depression therapy can help you understand why your body and mind are reacting this way. We’ll work together to create practical, gentle steps to regain a sense of routine so you can feel more in control of your mornings and more rested at night.
Feeling Disconnected From Life
Do you feel like you’re drifting through life, emotionally distant from people and the activities that once brought you joy? Maybe you’ve started pulling away from friends or family or the things you used to love. Therapy gives you a safe space to explore why that connection has faded. Together, we’ll work to help you reconnect with the people and things that matter to you, building a sense of purpose and fulfillment back into your everyday life.
Hopelessness or Sadness
Does it feel like things won't get better no matter what you do? Sometimes, depression can make every day feel like an endless struggle, draining any sense of hope for the future. In depression therapy, you’ll have a space to talk about these feelings and share them without judgment. Together, we’ll work to break down those heavy emotions and slowly rebuild a sense of hope, one small step at a time. There is a way forward, and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Disengagement
Do you find yourself just going through the motions, without feeling truly connected to what you’re doing? When depression takes over, life can feel like an endless routine of tasks you don’t even care about anymore. Therapy helps you re-engage with your emotions, your life, and the people around you. We’ll work together to find meaning in your daily life again, so you can start feeling present and alive, rather than just getting by.
Feeling Like Life Shouldn’t Be This Hard
Depression can make every small task feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to wonder why things are so difficult. Depression therapy helps you unpack these feelings and understand why life feels so heavy right now. Together, we’ll develop strategies to lighten the emotional load, so you can start moving through life with less struggle and more peace.
If you’re facing these challenges, talking to a licensed therapist can make a real difference. Visit us for in-person depression therapy in Los Gatos or online in San Jose, Campbell, or anywhere across California.

Approaches We Use In Depression Therapy
Everyone’s experience with depression is different, so we offer a variety of therapy approaches to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re looking for answers, seeking relief from overwhelming sadness, or simply need a safe space to process your thoughts and emotions, we’ll provide the right tools and support to help you feel more in control, more hopeful, and more at peace with your life.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy focuses on the mind-body connection, helping you process the physical and emotional toll depression can take on your body. Depression often brings feelings of heaviness, exhaustion, or even physical pain. By becoming more aware of how these feelings manifest in your body and using body-based techniques, somatic therapy can help you release tension and restore a sense of balance, building both physical and emotional resilience.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps you better understand and process the emotions that fuel your depression. Whether it’s deep sadness, hopelessness, or emotional numbness, EFT allows you to explore these feelings in a safe environment. By diving into the core emotions driving your depression, EFT helps you build a stronger emotional connection to yourself and others, improving your ability to cope and fostering a greater sense of emotional balance and well-being.
1-on-1 Depression Therapy Sessions
In one-on-one sessions, you’ll have a private, supportive space to talk openly about the struggles you’re facing with depression. Whether it’s a sense of hopelessness, lack of motivation, or feeling disconnected from life, your therapist will focus on your unique experience. This individualized approach ensures that you feel heard and respected, while working together to create personalized coping strategies that help you regain a sense of control and hope.

Why Work With Silicon Valley Therapy
At Silicon Valley Therapy, we believe that life is about progress, not perfection.
When the demands on your time and energy are constant, the pressure to make it look like everything is ok can lead to burnout, stress, and a disconnection from your own needs.
The speed of life, coupled with the pressure to succeed, makes it easy to lose touch with what truly matters—leaving you feeling overwhelmed, hurting, and unfulfilled. Trying to “think” your way out of your pain is a short-term solution for a situation that requires deeper emotional understanding and support.
With over 28 years of combined experience, our team is dedicated to providing results-driven, client-centered, and compassionate care. We work with you to achieve a deeper understanding of yourself, identify and change patterns that lead to unwanted outcomes, and help you reach your goals in all areas of life.
We help you slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters on your path to loving the life your living.
Our therapy is
Client-Centered
We listen, understand, and help you achieve your specific goals—together.
Compassionate
We provide a compassionate and safe space to share the words you’ve only thought in your head.
Results-Driven
We help you make real progress in healing the parts of you that are keeping you from fully living.

Our Approach
How Depression Therapy Works
At Silicon Valley Therapy, our approach to depression therapy is collaborative and personalized, designed to meet your specific needs and help you regain control of your emotions and life.
We understand the root problem
Depression isn’t just about feeling sad—there’s often a deeper, underlying issue that drives your persistent sadness, irritability, or hopelessness. Together, we’ll take the time to explore and understand the root causes of your depression.
We restore hope
Depression can make you feel like nothing will ever change, but therapy helps restore your sense of hope. We’ll work to rebuild your belief that change is not only possible, but within reach.
We help you build resilience and confidence
As you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, we’ll help you use that knowledge to build resilience. This means developing the confidence and emotional strength to handle stressful or disappointing moments, rather than feeling overwhelmed by them.

Questions About Depression Therapy
How long does depression therapy take?
The length of therapy varies depending on your individual needs and the severity of your depression. Some people feel better after a few sessions, while others may need longer-term support. Your therapist will regularly check in to make sure therapy is helping you make progress and feel more in control.
What can I expect in the first session?
In your first session, your therapist will spend time getting to know you and the specific challenges you’re facing. This is a safe space to talk openly about what you’re going through. We’ll work together to create a therapy plan that feels right for you.
How do I know if therapy is working?
Therapy is a process, and results take time. Many people start to feel a sense of relief after a few sessions, like their thoughts are less heavy or they’re sleeping better. Your therapist will help track your progress and adjust the approach as needed to ensure you’re moving toward your goals.
What if I don’t know why I feel depressed?
It’s very common to feel depressed without knowing exactly why. Depression doesn’t always have a clear cause, and that can make it even more confusing or frustrating. In therapy, we’ll explore the thoughts, feelings, and life experiences that may be contributing to your depression, even if they’re not immediately obvious. You don’t need to have all the answers right now—that’s what therapy is here to help with. Together, we’ll work to uncover what’s really going on and develop strategies to help you feel more in control.
