What Causes Depression?

Depression rarely has a single cause. It often develops from a combination of life events, unresolved emotional pain, relationship difficulties, and negative thinking patterns that have become entrenched. Our Clearwater counselors look at the whole picture to find what is actually keeping you stuck — not just what is showing on the surface.

Our counselors work with you one-on-one in a warm, non-clinical environment at our Clearwater location. Community events and group workshops also provide connection — one of the most powerful antidotes to depression.
