Depression Counseling in Spencer, NC.

In working with depression I offer ways for you to understand the depression and the contributing factors. Together we identify those life factors that have caused the depression and find healthy ways to resolve it. We then reconstruct the thinking, attributes and behaviors associated with the depression. The purpose of this is to have you gain a sense of balance and control in your own life. We then create manageable coping skills that will allow you to identify the triggers and have a working plan to cope with the depression.

I treat depression a number of customized ways, including creating with my client strategies/ techniques to lessen the intensity and duration of the depressive episode, finding effective affirmations and self-talk as well as exploring and healing the early sources of the issue. I greatly value being with my client in their struggles, and their knowing they are not alone.

Depression can leave you feeling stuck and unmotivated. Reaching out and starting the therapy process will support you in better understanding the causes of your symptoms. We will unpack the physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual contributors of your depression, develop new habits to help pull you out of the lows, and help restore your confidence in yourself. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches to develop your personalized treatment plan and make the way forward clear for you. Please reach out through phone or email to connect and further discuss your needs.

Often a client presents to me with some level of depression. Sometimes the depression is an inherited condition while sometimes the depression is situational stemming from life events. Depression can be debilitating while others may remain functional as they deal with the issues. Whether depression needs to be managed or overcome it is often helpful to seek a trained counselor to help through the process of healing.
