Depression & Mood Disorder Therapy on Long Island
You don’t have to feel this way forever. Healing is possible — and help is here.
Depression affects how you think, feel, and function — and it can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming. Whether you’re facing persistent sadness, emotional numbness, or sudden mood swings, know that you’re not alone. At Long Island Therapy, we provide compassionate, evidence-based treatment to help individuals manage depression and mood-related disorders and regain control of their lives.
Depression isn’t a weakness or something you can just “snap out of.” It’s a real, treatable condition — and with the right support, healing is possible.
Common Signs of Depression or Mood Disorders:
- Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
- Loss of interest in hobbies, relationships, or daily activities
- Fatigue or low energy, even with rest
- Changes in sleep or appetite
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or self-blame
- Irritability or increased sensitivity
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
If any of these sound familiar, therapy can provide a safe place to begin working through what you’re feeling and move toward meaningful change.
