Therapy for Depression in Overland Park, Kansas
When grief begins to feel like hopelessness
Therapy for depression provides a way to understand the connection between grief and depression, reconnect with what matters most, and begin rebuilding hope.
Grief and depression can sometimes feel very similar. Many people think of grief only as the death of a loved one, but grief can also show up follow experiences such as divorce, miscarriage, health challenges, retirement, career changes, becoming an empty nester, or letting go of the life you thought you would have.
Both can bring sadness, exhaustion, isolation, loss of motivation, and a sense that life has changed in ways you never expected. While grief is a natural response to loss, ongoing grief or significant life changes can sometimes lead to depression and feelings of hopelessness.
You may benefit from depression therapy if:
You feel like you’re going through the motions but don’t feel like yourself anymore.
· You’ve experienced a loss or major life change and can’t seem to find your footing again.
· You feel disconnected from the people, activities, or parts of life that once brought you joy.
· You’re carrying a sadness or heaviness that you can’t quite explain—or that seems bigger than the circumstances around you.
You find yourself wondering, “Who am I now?” after a loss, relationship change, or major transition.
· You’ve been telling yourself you should be “doing better” or “over it by now,” but you’re still struggling.
· You feel hopeless about the future or unsure how to create a life that feels meaningful again.
· You’re ready to understand what’s underneath the depression, reconnect with yourself, and begin to feel hopeful about what comes next.

HEATHER HARGROVE, LCPC
Hi, I’m Heather, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I help people navigate depression and low energy when loss has left them feeling down, stuck, or less like themselves.
I’m passionate about helping people who feel disconnected from themselves, their relationships, or the life they once knew. Depression can leave you going through the motions while carrying grief, loss, disappointment, or uncertainty about what comes next.
I believe depression deserves to be understood, not simply managed. Sometimes it is connected to a loss—a person, relationship, role, season of life, sense of purpose, or former version of yourself.
Therapy can help you understand what’s beneath the heaviness, reconnect with what matters, and create a meaningful life that reflects who you are becoming.
Together We Will:
Explore what has left you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself and begin finding your way back to you.
Make space for the losses and life changes that may be weighing on you while helping you reconnect with what brings meaning to your life.
Understand what’s underneath the heaviness and create space for healing, connection, and hope.
Move through the pain that has left you feeling stuck or disconnected and work toward feeling more engaged in your life again.
