Tampa Bay Center of Relational Psychology
At Tampa Bay Center for Relational Psychology (TBCRP), we understand that depression looks different for everyone. Some people feel a constant heaviness or emptiness, while others experience irritability or emotional numbness. Whatever form it takes, our therapists meet you with compassion, respect, and proven tools for recovery.
“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” — Helen Keller
Depression affects millions of people every year—and it’s more than feeling sad or unmotivated. It can impact your sleep, focus, appetite, energy, and ability to enjoy life. These symptoms are not a sign of weakness; they’re a signal that you’ve been managing more than your mind and body can handle on your own.
Our licensed clinicians begin with a thorough understanding of your unique experience. We take time to listen—so your treatment plan reflects you, not just your symptoms. We use evidence-based therapeutic approaches including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) to strengthen relationships and support systems
Mindfulness-based techniques to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to identify patterns and resolve emotional barriers
You don’t have to face depression alone. The team at Tampa Bay Center for Relational Psychology is here to help you regain balance, energy, and confidence in your life. We offer in-person and telehealth appointments for clients across Tampa, Wesley Chapel, and Land O’ Lakes. Begin a personalized, compassionate plan for your healing. Take the first step today.

If sadness, fatigue, or loss of interest have persisted for more than two weeks—or daily tasks feel increasingly difficult—professional therapy can help. Additional signs include changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, or feelings of hopelessness. Depression is highly treatable, and seeking help is a courageous first step toward feeling better. Many of our clients describe depression therapy as the turning point where they finally felt seen, supported, and understood as they regain their enjoyment of life.

The length of therapy varies depending on each person’s needs and goals. Some people notice improvement within a few months, while others benefit from longer-term treatment to create deeper and more lasting change. Together, we’ll set a pace that feels right for you and check in regularly to ensure your therapy continues to meet your needs and goals.
Not everyone who experiences depression needs medication. Therapy can be highly effective on its own, but if medication might be beneficial, we’ll discuss that thoughtfully so you can make an informed choice. We can coordinate with your healthcare provider, if needed.
We understand that cost can be a real concern. To make therapy more accessible, we offer affordable options to help reduce financial barriers, so you can get the care you deserve without added stress. Many of our therapists accept insurance and we also have interns under supervision who offer reduced rates. Give us a call and we’ll work to find an option that fits your budget. Please don’t let cost stop you from reaching out.
It’s completely normal to feel nervous about opening up or to worry that talking about feelings might make things worse. We have found that addressing concerns, including painful feelings, leads to relief and opportunities to heal and make new choices. Therapy is a supportive space where you can move at your own pace — you decide what and when to share. Most people find that, as trust builds, it becomes easier to talk and feel understood and that the process opens up new perspectives and solutions.
Sadness is a normal emotion that comes and goes with life’s challenges, while depression tends to linger and affect many parts of daily life — your energy, sleep, motivation, and outlook. Depression is more than sadness — it’s an ongoing sense of emptiness, hopelessness, or disconnection that makes it hard to function or enjoy things you used to enjoy. Therapy can help identify what’s happening to you and guide you toward recovery and balance.
