Therapy for Depression
in Ridgewood, NJ

How do we treat
Depression?

At Greatest Moments, located in the heart of Ridgewood, NJ, we understand the deep struggles associated with depression. This condition, often linked with chronically low energy levels, tiring without physical exertion,  persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest, and an overwhelming sense of despair, affects countless individuals and their loved ones. Our skilled team of therapists, counselors, and psychologists are here to help you navigate these challenges.



When treating depression, we carefully diagnose and consider both internal medical factors and external factors like a toxic workplace. Each person's experience with depression is unique, and so too should be their therapy. Based on the cause and progression of depression, we develop a comprehensive treatment plan that targets various aspects of an individual's life, including personal, relational, and school/work domains. We specialize in various treatment options like Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. These treatments, individually or combined, can provide powerful tools to combat depression and support recovery.


Furthermore, we recognize that depression can often coexist with other conditions such as Anxiety Disorders, OCD, PTSD, Personality Disorders, RAD, ADHD, and Addiction. Our comprehensive approach ensures that we consider the whole person and their unique circumstances, not just a single condition.


We, at Greatest Moments, firmly believe in delivering counseling services that are rooted in compassion, focused on evidence-based techniques, and tailored to your individual needs. Our therapists are committed to creating a warm, inviting, and accepting environment. We prioritize the safety and support of every client throughout their journey of self-understanding, activating their inner healing resources and promoting positive change. Our priority is to empower our clients by providing effective adjustment and coping strategies that align with their neuropsychological wiring, personality patterns, needs, and ambitions to maximize their overall well-being and success. 


In our psychotherapy sessions, we aim to empower you to understand your condition, develop coping strategies, and ultimately, lead a fulfilling, happier life. We encourage you to take your first step on your journey of empowerment and healing by reaching out to our dedicated team at Greatest Moments - your greatest moments are yet to come.
