Help For Depression

Here are some examples of what depression can look like in a person's life:

• Difficulty enjoying things, even things you used to enjoy.
• Low energy or motivation.
• Excessive sadness, agitation, or irritability.
• Feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness.
• Suicidal thoughts or behaviors.
• Difficulty concentrating or focusing.

At my practice, I have made it easy for you to discuss what has brought you to counseling and express your feelings. When it comes to depression, there are many evidenced-based treatments we can use to restore the joy and love for life that you once had.

There are a number of factors that contribute to a person experiencing clinically depressive symptoms. Research shows that some people are genetically predisposed to depression. However, environmental context always plays a role. Together, we will consider your life as a whole so that we are not reducing your symptoms down to one thing.

• Improve your self-image.
• Resolve past and presence issues that contribute to depression.
• Reduce negative self-talk and behaviors.
• Build upon current strengths.
• Challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to depression.
• Determine strategies for a healthier, more satisfying future.
