Depression therapists in Danville, Kentucky KY

Depression is more common than people suspect. Depression affects approximately 15% of Americans annually (more than 30 million). Other types of depression include bipolar disorder, cyclothymic and dysthymic disorder. Some symptoms of depression may include: • Prolonged sadness • Sleeping too much or too little; interrupted sleep • Weight loss, or weight gain • Lost interest in activities once enjoyed • Restlessness or irritability • Concentration difficulties, decision-making struggles • Loss of energy • Feeling guilty, hopeless or worthless • Suicidal thoughts  

Depression can be common. We all have seasons of depression. Sometimes it lasts longer than you want or it interferes with your ability to function.  

If you have feelings of sadness, helplessness, hopelessness, lack of energy, lack of interest in activities that were once pleasurable, disruptions in sleep and appetite, guilt, and neglect of self-care, you may be suffering from depression. Please reach out and get the help you need.  

All of our therapists work with individuals who cope with mild to severe depression. We use evidenced-based practice to help those struggling with depressive episodes. We work as a team with any other mental health care provider or psychiatrist involved to increase a person's quality of life and help to reduce or remit symptoms.  

We treat depression using a cognitive-behavioral and goal-focused approach, working with patients to systematically increase activation. This approach (CBT) has the most research evidence to support its efficacy in treating depression. We also incorporate mindfulness-based strategies, which have been found to reduce relapse.
