Depression
Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
Depression is more than sadness or numbness or a feeling of no energy. The primary emotions, like sadness, grief, discouragement, or loneliness can be difficult, but they're something a person can cope with. The difficulty with depression is that it's not a primary emotion, but a dysfunction of emotion. At the heart of depression is the fact that we are keeping something pressed down, which is the true meaning of de-pression. Often, people don't even know what they are keeping pressed down, and that's where therapy can help. As with all my work, I look for the root cause, so that a client can be truly free from the depression that has troubled them.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Psychotherapy, or talk therapy works as well as medication for many people. It may be used alone or in combination with other approaches, including exercise and optimal nutrition. Studies have shown that psychotherapy can cause changes in brain function similar to those produced by medications. Focused, goal-oriented forms of therapy such as cognitive-behavior therapy appear to be the most effective in treating depression.

Depression is often a symptom of other, underlying issues. Hypnosis can not only help to discover any underlying causes by accessing subconscious beliefs, but can be used to help resolve them and feel better.
