Depression Counseling in Unionville, NC.

Depression often has biological, emotional, and relational components to it. It is important to address all of those for maximum care. There are very practical ways to address the biological/physical manifestations of depression. Determining how the brain is involved in the depression is important. How the body is functioning plays a significant role. Emotionally, there may be experiences or dynamics that need to be sorted through by addressing how the past affects the present well-being, and the dynamics of how we relate to self and others, and the depression. Being connected in healthy relationships is also an important part of healing. We look at the whole picture in the process.

Depression isn't always an overwhelming sadness. Sometimes, depression can feel like "nothing," like you are a shell of a human. I'm here to tell you that there's hope. Through therapy, we can work to resolve your depression. Often depression can stem from neurodivergence, and may be a sign of burnout. We will work together to find soothing sensory techniques and to get you back in to your special interests. We will break down those things that overwhelm you piece by piece so you can have a plan for how to get your motivation and energy back. And if you don't want to do talk therapy for your depression, I have many body- and brain-based techniques to help.

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.
