Have you seen the bumpersticker, "Don't believe everything you think"? It's a great reminder of the painful, and often false, messages that can lead to depression and low self-esteem. Becoming mindful of these toxic habits opens up new opportunities to intervene with positive and hopeful messages.

Courtesy of PsychCentral: "CBT works by helping you change any unhelpful thought processes that may be contributing to your depression. Through various techniques, CBT aims to do the following:
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: CBT teaches you to spot and challenge automatic negative thoughts linked to depression, like feeling helpless, hopeless, or worthless.
Restructure cognitive patterns: A therapist will work with you to reframe your interpretation of life events, altering any core beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Develop coping strategies: CBT teaches effective coping skills and problem-solving techniques to handle challenging situations.
Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.
Relapse prevention: CBT not only treats current symptoms but also focuses on preventing future relapses by teaching strategies to maintain healthier thoughts and behavior patterns..."

Shelley M. Samuels
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor #6947 (CA), TLHT #494 (FL)
I work with people to support them in dealing with their depression by assisting them to discover underlying causes, but also to simply help them become more functional; better able to face their daily tasks. I often use creative interventions like mindfulness (I am MSBR-certified), expressive art, journaling eco-art therapy and meditation; to encourage my clients to find more meaning and joy in life. I also use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy, which I am trained in) to help clients identify negative thoughts, using exercises or homework to examine unhealthy behaviors. Finally, I may also work with people employing EMDR, a technique for working through trauma. In addition, I work with clients with depression that might result in chronic physical pain.
