Depression
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to treat depression can help you learn new ways to manage your thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty about them. ACT encourages commit to actions aligned with your values, in hopes of creating a sense of purpose and direction. By emphasizing mindfulness and psychological flexibility, ACT helps individuals to live more fully in the present moment and to navigate depressive symptoms with greater resilience. This approach can reduce the impact of depression on daily life and improve overall mental health.

Not all depressive symptoms are the same.
It's important that your provider asks the right questions. Often, the label “Depression” is tossed around in popular culture as a way to describe a feeling or a mood, i.e. “I’m depressed thinking about how much work I have to do this weekend” or, “After looking at my bank balance this morning, I’m completely depressed.” While these situations CAN trigger sadness, hopelessness, and/or other unpleasant emotions, they are NOT a Depressive Disorder.
We want to help rule out chemical, physical, environmental, and other factors to help you really get to the bottom of things.
