Depression Counseling in Yanceyville, NC.

Clients presenting with depression undergo a validated psychiatric assessment and clinical interview to determine biologic [sleep, diet, exercise, medical issues], psychologic [self-talk, participating in pleasurable activities], social [the health and safety of relationships], and spiritual variables [beliefs in God, and connection with a faith community]. Assessing and intervening across these four variables has led to effective, efficient treatment outcomes.

If you feel like you cannot get out of bed in the morning, feel like you are in quick-sand or no longer feel the energy to do the things that you once cared about, you may be suffering from depression. Depression is a major energy zapping condition. I can help you discover what is the reason for your depression whether it is circumstantial, chemical or environmental. I am here to help you find the solution to getting better.

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.

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.

Healing from past wounds, identifying false beliefs developed from childhood/life experiences, and working through the accompanying grief/loss will be the key to finding healing and freedom from depression and discouragement. As we do this, we will also work to replace these hurts and wounds with the truths about who the person was created to be, so that the client finds contentment and joy once again, sometimes despite the circumstances.

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.
