Hi,
It sounds like your daughter is going through a difficult emotional phase. Speaking with a psychologist can really help her open up and learn ways to cope with these feelings. It may also be helpful for you as a parent to talk to a therapist — not because something is wrong with you, but to better support her and manage your own stress during this time. Therapy can make a big difference for both of you.
You’re taking the right first step by reaching out.

Your daughter may be feeling overwhelmed and emotionally isolated, even if sheâs surrounded by family. When someone carries âfull of negativity,â it often means they are struggling with pain they donât know how to express â and it turns inward as self-blame, irritability, or withdrawal. What she likely needs most right now is emotional safety, gentle presence, and patient understanding without pressure to âsnap out of it.â
Next Steps
Start with listening. Ask her gently, âIâve been noticing you seem stressed and low lately â do you want to talk about whatâs on your mind?â Avoid trying to fix her right away. Instead, focus on validating her feelings: âItâs okay to feel low sometimes. Youâre not alone.â Consider connecting her with a mental health professional or a child psychologist (you may reach out to the experts at Soul Savera for personalized support). Check for practical stressors like school, friendships, social media pressure, or body image issuesâthese often quietly weigh down teens.
Health Tips
Spend unstructured quality time with her â walks, music, art, or simply sitting together. Presence matters more than advice. Help her build small routines she can control: sleep, healthy food, some movement, journaling. If she canât talk to you directly, suggest she write her thoughts down or speak with someone she trusts. Let her know: âYou donât have to be okay all the time. Iâm here, no matter what.â

Hi,
Supporting your daughter through feelings of depression and negativity requires compassion, patience, and understanding. Encourage her to share her feelings without judgment and listen actively to what sheâs experiencing. Gently suggest that she consider seeking help from a mental health professional, such as a counselor or psychologist, who can provide appropriate guidance and support. Encourage healthy habits like regular exercise, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, and engaging in activities she enjoys to help boost her mood. Being supportive and present, offering reassurance, and creating a safe, non-judgmental environment can make a significant difference. Remind her that sheâs not alone and that help is availableâsometimes, professional support is essential for overcoming stress and negativity. Your understanding and encouragement can be a vital part of her healing process.

Hello,
It must be difficult for you to see your daughter go through a low phase of life. Please approach her with an empathetic and a non judgemental way and let her know that she is not alone in this journey. It is important that you educate her the importance of reaching out to a professional who can help her navigate her feelings by teaching her strategic coping mechanisms to overcome her negative thinking patterns and help her out of her low mood.
Reach out to me regarding consultation.
