Counseling for Depression

Many people struggle with depression. Whether diagnosed with depression, or if you are merely experiencing symptoms of depression, counseling can help you feel less alone. Depression can take the form of:

• Sadness or feeling blue

• Losing interest in things you once enjoyed

• Oversleeping or under-sleeping

• Overeating or under-eating

• Self-isolating

• Feelings of hopelessness

• Trouble concentrating

• Suicidal thoughts, attempts, or reoccurring thoughts of death

If you related to any of the above symptoms, or feel depression is impacting your quality of life, counseling for depression may be right for you.

By working with a therapist, you’ll learn practical coping skills for managing depression, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy treatment, which is a short term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior. Learn more about CBT here.

• Mindfulness work such as breathing exercises, meditation, and positive visualization.

• Muscle relaxation exercises.

• Motivational interviewing to create positive change in your life.
