Depression Counseling in Lillington, NC.

Some people put off going to therapy for depression because they assume all the therapist will do is just listen (or they have already had a therapist you did just that!). While it is helpful to have someone to be able to talk to about what is bothering you, I am trained to listen for what may be maintaining your depression and will give you tools for you to be able to decrease your depression, with some finding relief within a few sessions. My approach to working with depression involves focusing on the interaction of the body and mind, changing thoughts that are contributing to depression, and exploring how your interactions with others may be affecting your mood.

I work with people who have either struggled with chronic depression, or have newly diagnosed depression due to life changes. Depressive symptoms can occur randomly, without obvious triggers. This can make depression difficult to manage. I help clients better manage their symptoms as well as helping them work through the symptoms moving forward. I understand how depression or depressive feelings can impact people's lives. Through psychotherapy and coaching, I use a range of strategies which allow my clients to have more fulfilling lives. Helping each individual find the path that works best in achieving peace and balance.

Depression is among the most common and devastating health conditions a person can face. Fortunately, there are treatments that are proven to provide relief to individuals suffering from depression. In particular, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is among the most researched and proven treatments for mild to moderate depression. At Mindly, we strive to incorporate cognitive-behaviorally focused interventions into individually tailored treatment plans because research and our own clinical experience tells us that this give us the best shot at helping children, men. and women with overcoming depression.
