Depression is a disorder that thrives off isolation. Its grasp tightens as the person affected withdraws from the people and activities that would normally bring them joy. When treating clients suffering with depression, I employ an integrative therapeutic approach to fit the needs of the individual as depression does not look the same for every person.
Sadness and depression show up in a variety of ways. Some people get angry and irritable while others lose energy and might have trouble getting out of bed or functioning. Regardless of how a client's sadness or depression shows, our counselors help clients gain more energy, find more purpose, and overcome what is holding them back.
Depression continues to be a greatly misunderstood condition that due to social stigma or lack of awareness can go untreated for years. I help clients understand the cause and ways to combat their feelings of depression, helplessness or even hopelessness. Depression is one of the most treatable mental health conditions. You can break through it and live the life that you deserve.
