Depression Therapy in Provo and Mapleton, UT
Depression can make it hard to get through the day, let alone reach out for help. If you’re living with depression, you may feel emotionally distant, physically drained, and unsure of how to explain what you're going through. The good news is that healing is possible with the right support. At Mountain Ridge Behavioral Health Center, our compassionate therapists can guide you on this journey. We offer depression therapy in Provo and Mapleton, Utah, creating a space where you feel understood, respected, and heard.
Recognizing the Signs of Depression
Each person experiences depression differently, and symptoms vary depending on age, environment, life circumstances, and other factors. However, common symptoms of depression include:
A low or irritable mood most days
Lack of motivation or low energy
Difficulty getting out of bed or keeping up with responsibilities
Loss of interest in hobbies or friendships
Sleep or appetite changes
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or hopelessness
Physical symptoms like stomachaches or fatigue
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Children and teens with depression may also exhibit emotional dysregulation, declining school performance, or social withdrawal, which often reflects internal distress.
How Depression Therapy Can Help
Therapy allows you to communicate your thoughts and feelings in a safe, nonjudgmental space. During depression therapy, you’ll share your personal experiences and work with your counselor to develop coping strategies and practical tools for symptom management. At Mountain Ridge Behavioral Health Center, we offer:
Play therapy for children to express emotions safely
Talk therapy for teens to explore identity, school stress, and relationships
Cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and behavior
Family support when depression affects the household
No two people experience depression the same way, and depression therapy should reflect that. We tailor our treatment plans to each client’s age, personality, and unique needs. Our goal is to help you find ways to heal, grow, and thrive.
