Depression

Depression Counseling for Young Women in New Jersey

You Don’t Have to Pretend You’re Okay

You’re exhausted from trying to hold it together. On the outside, you might look fine—smiling, going to class or work, keeping up with friendships—but inside, everything feels heavy. Getting out of bed is hard. Small tasks feel overwhelming. You feel disconnected from the people and activities you used to care about, and you may even wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again.

Depression and anxiety can make you feel alone, ashamed, or like you’re failing at life, but it doesn’t have to stay this way. You don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Feeling Stuck in the Fog? Let's Find Your Way Out.

At Kaplan Counseling, I specialize in helping young women navigate the challenges of depression with compassion and practical tools. I understand the unique pressures young women face—academic demands, family expectations, social comparisons, and the uncertainty of finding your place in the world. Depression can turn these challenges into feelings of hopelessness and numbness, but counseling can help you find your footing again.

In our work together, you will have a safe space to explore your feelings without judgment, learn how to manage the weight of depression, and rediscover the parts of yourself that feel lost under the heaviness.

Counseling can help you:

• Understand the root causes of your depression

• Develop practical tools to manage low energy, lack of motivation, and negative thoughts

• Build coping strategies for stress and overwhelm

• Reconnect with your values and the activities that bring you purpose

• Improve self-compassion and break free from harsh self-criticism

• Strengthen your sense of identity and confidence

• Discover hope for your future, even if it feels impossible right now

You Deserve Help and Hope.

You don’t have to keep carrying this alone. Healing is possible, and counseling can be the first step toward feeling like yourself again.

If you’re ready to begin, or if you just need to talk through what’s been weighing on you, I’m here to help.

Faith can Be a Part of Healing...if You Want it to Be.
