Depression is more than sadness. It's the gray filter over things you used to enjoy, the heaviness that makes small tasks feel enormous, the flat "fine" you give people because explaining is too much work. And trauma — whether from one event or years of them — can keep your body braced for danger long after the danger has passed.
Alec spent over eight years as an emergency department nurse, caring for people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. That experience left him with a deep respect for what people carry — and zero interest in judging how they carry it. If part of your story is hard to say out loud, this is a place where it can be said at your pace.
From anywhere in Mississippi, through secure video visits, we'll work on lifting the weight: understanding what you're experiencing, naming it accurately, and treating it with the same seriousness any other medical condition deserves.
Recognizing it
Signs it's time to reach out
You don't need to check every box — a few of these, lasting more than a couple of weeks, are reason enough:
Losing interest in things that used to matter to you
Sleeping far more or far less than usual
Feeling heavy, slowed down, or numb most days
Guilt, worthlessness, or a harsh inner voice that won't quiet
Flashbacks, nightmares, or feeling constantly on guard after something painful
Avoiding people, places, or reminders connected to what happened
Thoughts that life would be easier if you weren't here
Working together
How treatment works
Depression and trauma respond to treatment — that's not optimism, it's evidence. The plan we build depends on your picture: antidepressant or other medication where it's likely to help, practical strategies for sleep, energy, and routine, and coordination with trauma-focused therapy when that's the right tool. You set the goals; the plan serves them.
With trauma in particular, you control the pace. A psychiatric evaluation doesn't require you to relive everything in detail — we need enough to treat you well, and not one word more than you're ready to share.
Follow-ups are where recovery actually happens: adjusting doses, troubleshooting side effects, noticing what's improving, and making sure progress sticks. You'll never be a prescription on autopilot.
