Depression Treatment

Compassionate Support for Your Mental Health

I’m Terry Jordan, LCSW, founder of InnerVisions. In my twenty‑plus years of practice, depression has worn many faces: the single father in Bangor who powers through double shifts but can’t shake a constant heaviness, the college student in Gainesville who smiles in every selfie yet cries on the drive home, the retiree on the Mid‑Coast who wonders why mornings feel so empty. Whatever shape your struggle takes, know this—you don’t have to navigate it alone.

What is Depression?

Depression is more than just feeling sad or down; it’s a serious mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed. It can impact various aspects of life, including work, relationships, and daily functioning. Common symptoms include:
  • Persistent low mood
  • Loss of interest in activities
  • Changes in appetite or weight
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Fatigue or loss of energy
  • Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Thoughts of death or suicide

My Approach to Treating Depression

Therapy isn’t one‑size‑fits‑all. Together, we’ll build a plan that respects your pace and goals.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    CBT is a widely used therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to depression. It focuses on developing coping strategies and improving problem-solving skills.
  • Psychodynamic Therapy

    This approach explores underlying emotional conflicts and past experiences that may be influencing current depressive symptoms. It aims to help you gain insight into these issues and develop healthier ways of dealing with them.
  • Humanistic Therapy

    Focuses on personal growth and self-actualization, helping you reconnect with your inner self and find meaning and purpose in life.
  • Ongoing Support

    Depression can ebb and flow. We’ll keep an eye on triggers—seasonal darkness in Maine, high‑heat fatigue in Florida, holiday pressures—and adjust our game plan when life shifts.

Who Can Benefit from MY Depression Treatment?

My depression treatment services are designed for individuals experiencing:

  • Persistent low mood and sadness
  • Difficulty functioning in daily life
  • Loss of interest or pleasure in activities
  • Trouble maintaining relationships or work responsibilities

Success Isn’t One Big Moment

Progress often shows up quietly: the first genuine laugh in months, turning the porch light on at dusk because you feel safe enough to sit outside, texting a friend instead of disappearing for days. I celebrate those milestones with you—they’re the building blocks of a life that feels worth living.

Start Your Journey to Recovery

If depression has been steering the wheel too long, reach out. We’ll begin with a brief phone consultation to make sure we’re a good fit. After that, scheduling is flexible—daytime, early evenings, video, or office visits.
