We all feel down sometimes. We might be grieving a loss of some kind, experiencing a difficult and upsetting change in our life or relationship, or feeling discouraged, disappointed, or confused. These feelings are normal human emotions we experience as we are on this bumpy journey called life. Some days we feel down and we don't know why. And then sometimes those days turn into weeks, and months or years and we find that we have lost motivation to even get out of bed and complete daily tasks, let alone tackle the additional and sometimes unpredictable obligations that life presents us. This becomes a downward spiral into the depths of despair that we can no longer name. We've lost ourselves, who we once were, and have no clear vision for the future. We begin to experience a sense of hopelessness and helplessness and a belief that we will never feel whole again. We feel like our brain is in a perpetual fog with no energy to cut through it. Depression can be so all-consuming that we begin to have thoughts of harming ourselves, whether to end our life or simply to bring about physical pain to ease the emotional pain. Sometimes, in those dark moments, our brain tries to convince us that it is the only rational option--or the only way out of a dismal situation. Sometimes it takes the observation of another family member or friend to challenge us to get help. Sometimes there is that small voice within us that urges us that it is time to seek out help from an unbiased and objective professional. As your therapist, I am compassionate, empathetic, and sensitive in my integrative approach to depression. I believe that cutting through such a fog will require very slow, deliberate steps so as to not become overwhelming and discouraging for you. Your therapy will be designed to empower and equip you to put you back in control over your own life.

Depression therapy, also known as psychotherapy or talk therapy, is a highly effective treatment option for those with depressive symptoms. Depression is a mood disorder typified by persistent melancholy, hopelessness, and a loss of interest or delight in formerly pleasurable activities. Individuals can investigate the underlying causes of their depression, acquire coping skills, and make positive adjustments in a safe and confidential setting provided by therapy.
The choice of therapy depends on the individual's unique requirements, the severity of melancholy, and treatment objectives. Numerous clinicians may employ a combination of therapeutic approaches tailored to the unique circumstances of each patient.
It is critical to recognize that depression therapy is frequently a collaborative effort between the clinician and the client. The therapeutic relationship is essential for treatment efficacy. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified mental health professional with experience treating depression in order to develop an individualized, comprehensive treatment plan.

Depression can range from mild to severe and, I believe, requires flexibility to treat as we all have different needs. I often utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Depression but tend to integrate other evidence based approaches based on each individual person.

Psychologist, PsyD
We would use an effective therapeutic approach that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to depression. Then we will incorporate relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and deep-breathing exercises that can assist in managing physiological symptoms while also identifying triggers and experiences that have led to symptoms of depression to gain insight and understanding into one's thoughts and behaviors.
