Counseling for Depression in North Dakota
Depression makes life feel smaller. We help you take your life back.

If you’re struggling with depression, you may feel exhausted, unmotivated, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions. You’re not lazy. You’re not weak. You’re not broken. You’re dealing with a real and treatable condition—and help is available.

Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming. You might feel stuck, exhausted, or numb—and you’re not alone. At River Haven Counseling, we offer a space where you don’t have to pretend everything’s okay. Our therapists walk alongside you with empathy and evidence-based care, helping you untangle the weight you’re carrying and move at your own pace toward healing. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface, rediscover your strengths, and work toward a life that feels lighter and more connected.

At River Haven Counseling, we offer evidence-based, compassionate therapy for individuals across North Dakota living with depression. Whether you’re located in Fargo, Bismarck, Grand Forks, Minot, Williston, or in a rural community, you can access professional depression counseling that helps you feel more like yourself again—through in-person sessions at our Fargo office or secure virtual therapy across the state.

‍What You Can Expect from Therapy for Depression

Our approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. We help you understand your symptoms, uncover root causes, and build strategies for meaningful and lasting change. Depression can affect every part of life—but with the right support, healing is possible.

Therapy may include:

• Mindfulness-Based Strategies: Stay present, increase awareness, and reduce emotional reactivity
• Values-Based Goal Setting: Reconnect to what matters and take action—even when energy is low
• Relational Support: Strengthen self-esteem and reduce isolation by improving communication and connection
