Depression can be a debilitating and overwhelming experience, but it is treatable. As a therapist, I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT) which have been proven to be effective in treating depression.
CBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their depression. IPT, on the other hand, focuses on addressing and resolving interpersonal relationship problems that may be contributing to the depression.
In therapy sessions, we will work together to understand the underlying causes of your depression and develop strategies to manage your symptoms. I will provide a safe and supportive environment for you to share your thoughts and feelings, and help you gain a better understanding of yourself.
If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, I encourage you to reach out for help. Together, we can work towards improving your mental health and overall well-being.
Therapy can help you to work with your feelings, thoughts, perceptions, and internal or external conflict. It gives you the opportunity to reflect on what is happening within your life and yourself; reduce confusion; consider alternative ways of doing things, make positive changes and to move forward into the life you want.
