Depression can cast a shadow over every aspect of life, making it difficult to find joy and motivation. In therapy, we work together to understand the underlying causes of your depression and develop effective coping strategies to manage its impact. By creating a supportive and non-judgmental space, therapy allows you to express your feelings, challenge negative thought patterns, and rebuild a sense of hope and purpose. Through personalized, evidence-based approaches, I aim to help you regain control, improve your emotional well-being, and find a path to a more fulfilling and resilient life.
I have expertise in helping individuals overcome their suffering with depression. I take an integrative approach to treatment, focusing on healing the mind and body using proven psychological therapies. We will end your depression together so that you can live a happier, more engaging life.
Effective treatment for depression includes biological, emotional, mental (thinking), and spiritual interventions. When treating depression, Dr. Randa will first help you assess lifestyle factors that may be contributing to or supporting your depression, reviewing such factors as nutrition, sleep, exercise, and supplements. Treatment continues with understanding our emotions and how they affect our behavior and branches into learning how to change our behavior through our thought processes. Many people find that some discussion devoted to unpacking their existential or spiritual discomfort is also helpful in recovery from depression. Dr. Randa is skilled in helping you to examine your faith beliefs with dignity and openness.
Depression can often make people feel alone, helpless, or disinterested in all the things they used to enjoy. I assist clients in exploring what may be contributing to these thoughts and feelings and discovering healthy ways to cope.
Depression is a natural response to facing the difficult stresses, anxieties, traumas, and disappointments in our life that we will all experience at one time or another in life. For those facing clinical depression that is affecting their wellbeing, I can help. I utilize a combination of modalities including a focus on your values to help revitalize your motivation for life and find joy and meaning in each day.
Depression requires a holistic approach. I help clients address their issues from a variety of different angles and determine the underlying causes behind the problems.
When feelings of sadness overwhelm us, it can be difficult to reach out for help. The last thing we might feel like doing is reaching out to someone to talk about our feelings. As difficult as that might be, it is a great step in helping these feelings of sadness become less invasive.
I prioritize having a safe place for us to collaborate and work together. If you're not sure where to begin, I can help you reach those deeper levels of understanding and healing.
I have worked with depression for may years and have done a lot of studying in this area. I primarily use CBT, ACT, and Solution Focused therapy to help manage depression.
