Depression Counseling in Gifford, FL.

Although depression is one of the most common mental health challenges, my approach is to help others overcome feelings of hopelessness and find the energy to discover the good news that it is treatable. In addition to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I use a combination of Interpersonal Therapy to resolve grief and interpersonal dysfunction as well as several Psychodynamic approaches to engage the client in introspection about past issues so that the client is able to put their problems in proper perspective and live free of depression. While I believe psychotherapy is the most effective intervention for depression, there are times when drug treatment is necessary to be included.

If you’re experiencing sadness, hopelessness, or lack of motivation, I understand that it’s not as easy as “getting over it.” And while you might feel stuck, there is hope. Not just wishful thinking, but a structured process to help you break free and start really living life again. My passion is helping stressed out, burned out, and discouraged men regain their strength. At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be. If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d be honored to work with you.

It is impossible to get out of this life without at one time or other feeling despair. Sadness is an appropriate response to loss. But, unfortunately, sometimes the losses have so "piled up," that sleeping, eating and functioning are impaired. My approach provides an in-depth and caring psychotherapy treatment with understanding of the causes and solutions for growth with a path to health and increased joy in living and life.

Depression can leave you feeling like even the simplest tasks are impossible. Overtime you can start feeling guilt or shame about how hard life feels for you and isolate yourself. You're not alone in how you feel and you don't have to go through this by yourself! Through CBT, behavioral activation, and a huge does of empathy, you can start feeling like yourself again. Therapy is a safe space to express and feel your emotions and find accountability for moving towards your goals.
