DEPRESSION
Getting up, going out of the house. Maybe not today.
Asking, ‘Why?’ ‘What’s wrong?’ But you have no answers.
How I work with depressed individuals…
Let’s pinpoint the life problems that contribute to your depression and help you understand which aspects of those problems you may be able to solve or improve.
I help depressed patients identify options for the future and set realistic goals that enable you to enhance your mental and emotional well-being. I also help individuals identify how they have successfully dealt with similar feelings if they have been depressed in the past.
We will also identify negative or distorted thinking patterns that contribute to feelings of hopelessness and helplessness that accompany depression.
For example, depressed individuals may tend to overgeneralize; that is, to think of circumstances in terms of “always” or “never.” You may also take events personally. I can help nurture a more positive outlook on life and your individual path.
Psychotherapy helps you see choices as well as gradually incorporate enjoyable, fulfilling activities back into your life.
How to grow past depression…
If you have depression, there are several approaches to psychotherapy, including cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and psychodynamic, that help depressed people recover.
Psychotherapy with me offers you the opportunity to identify the factors that contribute to your depression and to deal effectively with the psychological, behavioral, interpersonal and situational causes.
Let me help you regain a sense of control and pleasure in life.
Psychotherapy with me will help you by giving you space and time for being heard, seen and understood. We will discuss your perspective, and you’ll be able to find options that give you hope!
