Do these thoughts often enter your mind?
I am worthless and can’t do anything about it.
I feel guilty for just wanting to eat, sleep and be alone.
I hate who I am these days.
I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others.
I feel gut wrenching pain, but no one understands.
My life and the world around me are dark. I hate it, but I can’t change it.
If you have had any variation of these thoughts and don’t feel like your usual self, chances are you may be suffering from depression.
I want you to know that you are not alone and there are people who can help. Many of my clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not own them and that there are many options available to once again have hope for their lives.
I understand the social stigmas that come with label of being depressed, and thus aim to help clients sort out their environmental, biological and circumstantial factors while offering support and care through a very dark time in their lives.
If you are hoping to finally lighten this load and feel like yourself again, contact me today to schedule an appointment.
I help those experiencing depression by working with them to identify more effective and meaningful ways to manage their feelings of sadness and hopelessness.
Providing support and promoting healing of hopelessness, low motivation and energy, sadness, irritability, sleep disturbance, and loss of interest and pleasure in life.

Depression is exhausting. It is isolating, scary, and overwhelming. It's not something we choose or ask for; nor is it a definition of who we are. I think, however, that it serves a purpose. Much like my mother not letting me see friends or have them over if my room wasn't clean, depression doesn't let us focus on anything else until we have focused on the underlying cause sufficiently. I am not afraid of your depression, and I am willing to be curious about it and to help you learn what it needs you to know. Patience, compassion, and courage are all part of the journey, and I would like to be able to walk it with you.
Depression is more than just feeling temporarily sad or down, it is a complex and vicious cycle. Living with depression is painful. At Hidden River Counseling, we understand this pain. We will work with you to manage these feelings and help you feel more fulfilled by life.
