Therapy for Depression: There is Hope For Healing.
Are you feeling hopeless, isolated, and not your usual self?
Do these thoughts often enter your mind?
- I am worthless and can’t do anything about it.
- I feel guilty for just wanting to eat, sleep and be alone.
- I don't like who I am these days.
- I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others.
- I feel gut-wrenching pain, but no one understands.
- My life and the world around me are dark.
- I feel stuck.
If you have had any variation of these thoughts and don’t feel like your usual self, chances are you may be suffering from depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is an evidence-based psychotherapy for depression. CBT addresses the underlying negative beliefs that are common with depression. It also addresses the behavioral reactions, such as withdrawing and isolating that people often experience when they're depressed. I often integrate other modalities of therapy with CBT for depression, such as mindfulness and acceptance approaches.
I want you to know that you are not alone and there are people who can help. Many of my clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not define them and that there are many options available to once again have hope for their lives.
I understand the struggle that comes with being depressed and deeply aim to help clients improve their mood while offering support and care through a difficult time in their lives.
