Depression Counseling in Belle Glade, FL.

Depression is something that everyone virtually experiences, but most people in the general population experience only what is often referred to as the ups and downs of life. A segment of the population experiences clinical depression, which is a more severe type of depression, that often interferes with a person's overall sens of well-being. It is important to understand the nature of a client's depression, so that appropriate steps and interventions can be taken. I conduct a thorough investigation into the causes that may be associated with the feelings and symptoms of depression.

Depression requires a unique empathic approach, and each individual, couple, or family experiences depression differently. There are times when depression can be associated with a significant transition throughout our life cycle, and at times, it can related to other factors such as sleep, nutrition, and social support.

Many of my clients experience some level of depression either mild, moderate, or severe. I use different therapeutic interventions to help them learn how to recognize the signs and symptoms of depression, how to find and use appropriate self-help. Some of my clients are very spiritual and I follow my client's lead in their beliefs and find tools that will help them within their beliefs. For example, the use of meditation, crystals, therapeutic oils, yoga are a few skills and easily implemented tools that my clients use. Additionally, I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to with my clients to help them track moods, and recognize triggers.
