Depression
Shauna Pollard
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Do you feel overwhelmed? Are you stuck in the same cycle just trying to get from day to day? Are you experiencing a transition that never seems to end?
You may have noticed that you are not coping in the healthiest of ways. Perhaps you’re starting to disconnect and distance yourself from others— avoiding invites from friends or family, letting calls go to voicemail and ignoring texts for weeks. Not to mention, you also feel worn out and no amount of sleep seems to help.
There’s still time to make some changes. You’ve always been there for other people, but now it’s time to show up for yourself.
I’ve worked with hundreds of clients on major to minor life issues to provide clarity, relief, and understanding that allows for a way forward. I would love to join you on your journey.
Being depressed sucks, and you are probably reading this because you suspect that there's a way to feel much better than you currently feel. Whether you've been depressed for years and years or this is your first time, I can help.
Big changes don’t happen all at once, but in a short time you can take action towards building the life that you want. Therapy can help you start to understand the patterns that are keeping you stuck and take steps to help you feel happier and more content.
Trained in research supported therapies and yet down-to-earth and relatable, I use the tools and strategies that are right for you based on your unique needs. Schedule an appointment today.

Courtesy of PsychCentral: "CBT works by helping you change any unhelpful thought processes that may be contributing to your depression. Through various techniques, CBT aims to do the following:
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: CBT teaches you to spot and challenge automatic negative thoughts linked to depression, like feeling helpless, hopeless, or worthless.
Restructure cognitive patterns: A therapist will work with you to reframe your interpretation of life events, altering any core beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Develop coping strategies: CBT teaches effective coping skills and problem-solving techniques to handle challenging situations.
Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.
Relapse prevention: CBT not only treats current symptoms but also focuses on preventing future relapses by teaching strategies to maintain healthier thoughts and behavior patterns..."

Depression is super common but not as easy to get relief from as it may seem. It is not about being lazy or not trying hard enough. This does not mean we are not responsible for our actions or inaction. I suggest we try to understand what is causing the thought patterns or difficulty with motivation.
