💙 Today is National Depression Screening Day 💙
Mental health matters—and so does checking in on yourself.

Depression can look different for everyone. It’s not always tears or sadness; sometimes it’s exhaustion that won’t fade, a loss of motivation, difficulty concentrating, or feeling disconnected from the things that once brought joy. If any of this sounds familiar, you are not alone—and help is available. 🌿

At Choices Psychotherapy, we understand how overwhelming life can feel when depression takes hold. Our compassionate providers are here to listen and guide you toward healing through individualized therapy and psychiatry services. A screening is a simple first step—a moment to pause, reflect, and open the door to support.

✨ Taking a few minutes to check in with your mental health could change your life. ✨

You deserve to feel better, to find balance, and to experience peace of mind. Let today be your reminder that reaching out for help is an act of courage, not weakness. 💛

📞 We have immediate openings for therapy and psychiatry appointments. Call 952-544-6806 or visit our website to schedule your appointment today.

💚 It’s Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW) 💚
This week, we come together to raise awareness, fight stigma, and remind everyone that mental health is just as important as physical health.

At Choices Psychotherapy, we believe that no one should struggle in silence. Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, reaching out for help is a sign of strength—not weakness. Our team of dedicated providers is here to support you with understanding, evidence-based care, and a commitment to your well-being.

✨ Let’s use this week to start conversations that matter.
✨ Let’s support one another without judgment.
✨ And let’s continue working toward a world where mental health care is accessible and stigma-free.

You don’t have to go through it alone—help is here. 💙
