Depression Counseling in Fishers, IN.

Depression is a mood disorder that can cause a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest that can interfere with daily functioning. Reaching out for help is a step towards wellness. Symptoms of depression can vary from person to person, but it is a very treatable condition. Therapy for depression helps you overcome the feelings of hopelessness and despair and to gain control of your life.

My approach to depression involves using Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy which to address faulty beliefs that clients may have about themselves. I help clients to change their negative thinking habits and see the true picture of themselves and their capabilities. I help clients to improve their self worth, relationships, and feelings about life through both cognitive and behavioral strategies. Through the use of role playing, homework, and learned coping skills clients will be able to address their depressive thoughts and feelings effectively.

Depression is a loss of hope. It is an over-focus on the past, a fusion with events and circumstances that cannot be changed. As we work through the underlying causes of your depression, we can develop a new understanding of its origin for you and begin to form new neuro-pathways that can create feelings of hope. By intentionally fostering thoughts of things like gratitude and grace, we can begin to reformulate your thought processes and help you find your passion and purpose. I have had clients that, over time, have been able to give up anti-depressant medications completely! You can be one of them!

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.
