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.

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Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.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..."

When this is a presentation for our patients, we look to better understand what may be contributing to this. If this is something that wants to be addressed, and if so, how and when. Pacing is the key here.

Baumann Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
My approach to the treatment of depression utilizes a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-oriented style that also factors in environmental and relationship components that may be worsening symptoms of depression. We will create a space for deep and vulnerable conversation while also exploring changeable or approachable things in their life to create meaning and hope.
