Depression Counselor
Paula Mathiasen, LCPC
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
In 60004 - Nearby to Harwood Heights.
My approach will vary depending on the severity of the depression. The first importance is stability of well being. From there I will work on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors working towards short terms goals. Goals will include small behavior changes that will help to be building blocks and also cognitive work on realistic truths. Often things like sleep, nutrition, and exercise are also evaluated and improved in the process as ways to counter depression.
