During this season of expected joy and connection, it is especially important to remember that for many people, depression is characterized by the loss of the capacity to feel joy or connection. This can occur even when external life appears well, the family, the job, everything seems fine.

You may be able to smile, present yourself each day, and fulfill your responsibilities, yet still feel empty and emotionally disconnected inside. Because of this ability to function, you might frequently hear from others, "but you don't look depressed to me".
Feeling this way does not mean you are weak; it signals that something deeper is occurring.

Remember, depression manifests in a different way in every person.
The most important thing is that there is no need to suffer in silence when there are so many options available to seek help and feel better.

If you or someone you know feels like you are going through something similar, please call us using the number in the biography above for an evaluation.

La depresión no siempre se ve como tristeza.

Para muchas personas, la depresión se manifiesta como la pérdida de la capacidad de sentir alegría o conexión. Esto puede ocurrir incluso cuando, desde afuera, la vida parece estar bien: la familia, el trabajo, todo parece en orden.

Puedes sonreír, presentarte cada día y cumplir con tus responsabilidades, y aun así sentirte vacío/a y emocionalmente desconectado/a por dentro. Debido a esta capacidad de seguir funcionando, es posible que escuches con frecuencia comentarios como: “pero no pareces deprimido/a”.

Sentirse así no significa que seas débil; es una señal de que algo más profundo está ocurriendo. Recuerda que la depresión se manifiesta de manera diferente en cada persona.

Lo más importante es saber que no tienes que sufrir en silencio cuando existen tantas opciones para buscar ayuda y sentirte mejor.

Si tú o alguien que conoces siente que está pasando por algo similar, por favor llámanos al número que aparece en la biografía para una evaluación.

It was a great year, despite the challenges we faced along the way. Those moments tested us, but they also made us stronger, more resilient, and more united as a team. We are blessed with this team, grateful for your dedication, and excited about where we’re headed.

Sometimes the most important thing you can do for your mental health is to talk openly with the people who genuinely know you, your friends, your family, and your provider.

Real conversations with real humans create clarity. They challenge your blind spots, remind you of your strengths, and help you see the path forward when things feel confusing.

AI can offer information, but it cannot replace the insight and responsibility that come from honest dialogue with someone who actually understands your life.

If you’re struggling, reach out to the people who care about you and to the professionals trained to guide you.

You don’t have to sort yourself out alone, and you’re not meant to.

Veterans Day, A Reflection on Courage and Responsibility.

There are few acts more noble than the decision to bear responsibility for the safety and freedom of others.

To serve one’s country, to willingly step into the unknown, to confront chaos, danger, and even death, is to affirm that life has meaning, and that order is worth defending.

Today, we honour the men and women who have shouldered that burden on behalf of us all. Their courage reminds us that freedom is not granted; it’s earned, maintained, and paid for in vigilance and sacrifice.

We’re proud that two members of our leadership team, our Business Manager Anastacio Nieves and Nurse Practitioner Onyebuchi Nelson Chiakpo, have both served our country in uniform. Their experiences as veterans shape the care and heart, they now bring to our patients every day.

Let us strive, each in our own lives, to be worthy of what they preserved.
