Depression Counseling in Gonzalez, FL.

Every one will experience one or more depressive episodes during their lifetime. Depression is highly treatable with counseling. Just a few sessions can be helpful in educating an individual and reduce symptoms of depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a preferred method of treatment and has been found to be very effective in long term treatment for depression.

Depression can color your world with a grayness that is hard to escape from. Depression can be very complex, involving a lot of heavy feelings and emotions. Let me help untangle the emotions and heal the pain. My job is to listen and find out gradually where the wound is - and then heal it. You don't have to live with the pain- let's work on it together.

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.

I work with a depressed nervous system by working with the body. Often we struggle to sleep, eat, or accomplish relatively simple tasks. Our bodies are stuck with the brake on. When our body thinks it is futile, out mind follows quickly thereafter and we begin to tell ourselves how pointless things are and how worthless we are. I work with the whole body to re-regulate the body to enable you to get back to a whole integrated self.

Depression can be debilitating at times. Overwhelmed with negative feelings, thoughts and behaviors to the point that it impacts your daily living. Clients can benefit from cognitive behavioral counseling by changing negative thought patterns and confronting current beliefs. Cognitive behavioral therapy changes how people react to stress and depression symtoms.

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.

Depression is not your identity. First and foremost, you are a child of God. But even with faith, life can knock us down and it can be difficult to find hope. You’re not meant to go through this alone. I would be honored to help you sort out what you can control, what needs to be grieved, what needs to heal, and what in life might need to change.
