Problems with Depression may stem from a variety of sources. It may have roots in childhood traumatic experiences or current life stressors, or it may just come from an innate tendency to be depressed. You will learn cognitive skills for managing these feelings, we will discuss things you can do for yourself to alleviate the feelings, and you will be guided through processes to resolve issues from the past and repattern the thoughts, feelings, & perceptions that contribute to the depression.

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Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.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..."

Max Tsymbalau MS, LMHC | Seattle Anxiety and Trauma Therapist
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
When we are depressed, we feel deeply overwhelmed, helpless, and discouraged. I will work with you to help you explore your depressed inner parts with respect and compassion, which often involves discussion of relevant family and life history that may have contributed to your struggles. I will also work to help you find your life energy, a lot of which may be disowned feelings of anger and sadness. Perhaps a bit counterintuitively, letting ourselves feel those feelings is often the path towards letting passion and joy into our lives.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Depression can feel like a dense, dark, and heavy blanket that weighs us down, sucks the joy out of life, impairs concentration and focus, leads us to question why we are living and if the hardship is worth it, makes us feel stuck, and confuses our brains into believing that we are worthless and that the negative feelings will last forever. Therapy can be essential in reducing symptoms, shifting the "stories" we tell ourselves about ourselves, more effectively coping with loss and upset, learning self-care, managing and healing from trauma, and shifting perspective so that we can feel better and develop lasting changes.
