Depression can result from unfinished business in the past, which seems to threaten current and future success. Sometimes we need someone to just listen to our experiences from our vantage point, without being too eager to fix the issue without first listening to the experience. Catharsis is a powerful tool when employed correctly.
We all have times when we just don't feel like our normal selves. But, when that feelings reached a level of darkness that threatens your ability to function, or slows that ability to a crawl, it is time to reach out to someone and have a talk about it. Finding the source of the depression is key to unlocking the door to feeling better. Start your journey of discovery in therapy. Let's talk.
Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders in the United States, according to the National Institute on Mental Health. It is a serious mood disorder that causes severe symptoms that can affect the way an individual feels, thinks and handles daily activities such as sleeping, eating, or working. To be diagnosed with depression, the symptoms must be present for at least two weeks. Depression—even the most severe cases of depression—can be treated. The earlier that treatment begins, the more effective it is—and licensed professional counselors can help.
As someone who was diagnosed with depression early on in life, I know how debilitating it can be. The world feels gray, everything seems purposeless and you have little to no energy to do anything. As someone who is successfully managing his depression, I know first hand the tools and modalities that can help bring joy and color back into your life. You may have depression, but it doesn't have to define you. In fact, you can use it as a springboard to get back into life and restore meaning and purpose.
Depression can linger, even with medication and lifestyle changes. I can work with you to lift the fog of depression and begin to enjoy your life again.
