Depression, grief & loss therapy in Texas for people who are ready to feel like themselves again.
Not just less bad. Actually, genuinely better.
It's not laziness.
It's not weakness.
And you're not overreacting.
Depression has a quiet way of convincing you that this is just how things are. That you're fine, just tired. That other people have real problems and you should be able to push through this. But you can't make yourself care about the things you used to love. Getting through the day takes everything you have.
And grief often travels alongside depression, sometimes as a clear loss, sometimes as something harder to name. A version of your life you thought you'd have. A relationship that ended. A part of yourself that changed after something hard. Both are real. Both deserve space. Both are often tangled together in ways that are hard to untangle alone.
You feel distant from people you love, disconnected from your own life, and somehow guilty for both. The isolation deepens. The weight grows.
At Heard, we work with depression and grief in a way that takes your whole experience seriously. We explore what's contributing to how you feel: loss, burnout, unprocessed experiences, relational pain, or something harder to name. We work with you to find your way back to yourself, at a pace that actually feels sustainable.
Many of our clients have described this as the first time their depression and grief were treated as connected rather than separate, and the first time the work actually moved something.
Getting started doesn't have to be complicated.
1. Reach out
Share where you are. No clinical vocabulary required. We meet you exactly where you've landed.
2. Assessment and safety first
Early sessions establish safety, trust, and a clear picture of what's contributing to how you feel right now.
3. Personalized treatment plan
We balance symptom relief with deeper processing of underlying grief, loss, or unresolved experience.
4. Honest progress tracking
We check in on what's shifting, adjust the approach as needed, and stay honest with each other throughout.
Therapy for depression, grief & loss can help you:
✓ Reconnect with motivation, meaning, and things you enjoy
✓ Understand what's underneath the depression, not just manage symptoms
✓ Break the isolation that depression feeds on
✓ Make space for grief that hasn't had room to breathe
✓ Process named and unnamed losses
✓ Find your way back to a life that feels worth showing up for
You've been carrying this quietly for a long time.
You don't have to keep doing that.
There is a path through, and we'd really like to walk it with you.
Untreated depression often deepens and expands. It affects physical health, relationships, and work. Grief that goes unprocessed tends to resurface more intensely later. Getting support now is not a luxury. It's the shorter path.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
You don't need a diagnosis to reach out. If something feels off, if life feels flat, heavy, or hard to engage with, that's enough. We'll help figure out what's going on and what would be most helpful.
-
High-functioning depression is real, and it's exhausting. The fact that you're keeping it together on the outside doesn't mean you don't deserve support. If anything, it means you've been working incredibly hard.
-
All loss is valid. Grief can follow the end of a relationship, a miscarriage, a career, a friendship, a version of yourself. If it hurts and you can't move through it, it counts.

Going underneath depression and grief, not just treating the surface.
Depression and grief often have roots in loss, relational wounds, or experiences that haven't been fully processed. Standard symptom management misses this. We use an integrated approach: Behavioral Activation helps rebuild the daily connections that sustain mood. CBT restructures the negative thought patterns depression generates and reinforces. ACT reconnects you to meaning and values when depression has drained both.
For grief, we create space for the full weight of loss, including the ambiguous and unnamed losses that are often the hardest to carry, and help you process them at a pace that honors the depth of what you've lost.
