Depression services offered across Georgia

At Helping Hearts Heal Mental Health Clinic, LLC, we understand that depression is not just a temporary emotional low — it is a serious mental health condition that deserves understanding, treatment, and support. Led by experienced and empathetic provider La-Vonnie Joiner, PMHNP-BC, our clinic is dedicated to walking alongside individuals and families through the challenges of depression with professionalism, heart, and hope.

What Is Depression?

Depression is more than sadness. It is a persistent condition that can interfere with how you feel, think, sleep, eat, and function. It can affect every area of life — work, relationships, self-esteem, and physical health. While it can feel isolating, depression is also highly treatable.

“Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls your life.”
– Akshay Dubey

Common Symptoms of Depression:

  • Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness

  • Lack of interest or pleasure in everyday activities

  • Fatigue or low energy

  • Sleep issues (trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or sleeping too much)

  • Appetite changes or weight fluctuations

  • Feelings of worthlessness or guilt

  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

  • Physical symptoms like headaches or digestive issues

  • Thoughts of self-harm or suicide

If you’ve been feeling several of these symptoms for more than two weeks, professional support may be necessary.

What Causes Depression?

Depression can be triggered by a variety of life factors or may appear without a clear cause. It can result from:

  • Traumatic or stressful life events

  • Grief or loss

  • Chronic illness or pain

  • Hormonal changes, such as postpartum shifts

  • Family history or genetic vulnerability

  • Imbalances in brain chemistry

Whatever the origin, your experiences are valid — and healing is possible.
