Depression
Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
I believe in a comprehensive approach to the treatment of depression that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral activation, and value-concordant living. When appropriate and needed, I consider lifestyle and interpersonal factors that are perpetuating mood issues for my clients and work with them to make steps toward taking bold action. Additionally, when appropriate, I like to collaborate with other members of an individual's care team, such as psychiatrists and primary care providers, and help individuals to reconnect to those around them, building up their level of social support and connectedness.

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Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.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

I work with individuals with situational depression and experience working with couples in which one or both partners have depression caused by life situations and stressors. Using empirically supported approaches, we create an individualized plan to help address the underlying causes of depression to reduce depression and improve relationships & other areas of life.
