You are strong, but it takes a lot more effort these days.
You put on a smile and post something on social media. Sometimes you even feel like the smile is genuine.
But the longer you struggle with depression, the less often these moments of joy come.
Depression is robbing you of a life that is vibrant, alive, and full of love.
Does this sound familiar?
If so, we are here to help.
We provide individual, couples, family, and group counseling to help you win the fight against anxiety and depression.
Meet The Staff
- Manage Depression Symptoms
-
We believe that if you aren't at least starting to feel better within the first 1-3 sessions of counseling, it may not be a good fit. Or, we aren't doing our jobs. You are coming to depression treatment to feel better. So, we'll start by learning what works for you. Together, we will shift gears, restart, and spark hopefulness when you're feeling down.
- Heal What Hurts
-
As trauma therapists, we believe depression arises from unresolved pain from the past. So, a big part of your depression treatment will involve figuring out what is left unresolved. Together, we will help you to move through that pain so you can let it go. You'll start to understand yourself or what you went through from a place of compassion and calm.
- Find Meaning
-
We know. That sounds pretty granola and may even be a little naive. But, these are things proven to insulate you from depression and anxiety.
Finding something that makes your life feel purposeful and worthwhile is huge. It doesn't have to be something huge either. Many people find meaning in nature or their families or in the simple task of making someone smile. - Practice Self Compassion
-
Self-compassion is not selfish and it will not make you lazy.
It is learning totreat yourself with respect and kindness in thought, body, and mind. Research shows self-compassion helps keep warriors from getting PTSD and moms of special needs kids from burning out. Self-compassion is powerful and can be learned.
- Find Balance
-
Balance means keeping things in perspective. For each person, this might look different. For some, it might involve making time for exercise. For someone else, it might be having tricks to help you be more unbiased and stay out of "black and white thinking". Your therapist will help you to explore what balance looks like for you and help you to install it.
