Depression Counseling in Hawthorne, FL.

Depression can feel like being lost in a big, dark forest. Or it can feel just like being down or sad or blue. Whatever it feels like, we’ll trace those feelings to see where they lead and what they’re trying to communicate. You won’t be left alone in the darkness or told to ‘snap out of it’. We’ll take a holistic mind/body approach to recovering your life. Journaling, communication skills, mindfulness and health and wellness education are some of what counseling will be.

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.

If you’re feeling down, are lacking motivation, or lacking motivation, you’re not alone. The demands of work and home life can take a toll on any man. Not many understand the unique pressures you face, and this can be frustrating, lonely, and isolating. Whether you feel like things are falling apart, or you’re still hiding it pretty well, there is hope. I often use EMDR therapy and a faith-based perspective to help men uncover and heal the source of their issues, and discover their peace, hope, and motivation in life. One of the insidious parts of depression is that while you’re in the fog, it’s hard to be objective. I will help you walk through this fog until we get to the other side.

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.

Depression can feel like an endless weight, making even the smallest tasks seem insurmountable. My approach to depression counseling is compassionate, holistic, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll uncover the underlying patterns contributing to your depression, explore your emotions in a safe and supportive space, and develop practical tools to help you regain motivation and joy. By integrating modern therapeutic techniques with proven, time-honored methods, we’ll work toward a brighter, more balanced future at your pace.

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.
