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Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.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

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I extend a compassionate hand to those engulfed in the shadows of depression. I understand the profound weight of this silent struggle, where each day can feel like an insurmountable journey. My approach is not just about alleviating symptoms, but about forging a deep, empathetic connection where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we'll navigate through the darkness, uncovering hidden strengths and igniting the spark of hope. It’s a journey towards reclaiming joy, rediscovering purpose, and gently rekindling the light within that depression has dimmed.
