Depression Therapy in Ashburn, VA

This isn’t about snapping out of it. It’s about finding your way through it.

Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. It can show up as fatigue, irritability, or a sense of disconnection from yourself, others, or your daily life. At Northstar Center in Ashburn, VA, we offer more than just a place to talk; we offer care that is trauma-informed, research-backed, and deeply attuned to your experience.

You will work one-on-one with a trauma-informed therapist to explore what’s beneath the symptoms and begin making sense of what you’re feeling. Using approaches like CBT, DBT, IFS, EMDR, and psychodynamic therapy, we tailor treatment to support meaningful, sustained change. Together, we will work to reconnect you with yourself, your values, and the parts of life that feel hard to reach right now.
