Depression Counselling in Windsor, NS.

Depression manifests itself in different ways. Liz recognizes that, at times, withstanding the pain or nothingness seems unbearable. When the darkness creeps in and all energy is depleted, hope seems lost. However, Liz believes in recovery pathways that lead to restoration. She has seen lives transformed through care, compassion, commitment and courage. Although therapeutic approaches may vary based on client needs, Liz believes that collaborating with clients to author and direct their recovery provides the most reliable and sustainable way forward. Therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Positive Psychotherapy.

Depression is more than just "the blues" or feeling down. Depression impacts your physical health, relationships, work, living environment, and overall mental health. Through counselling, I can help you to explore and work through the underlying factors contributing to your depression, and help you to learn behavioural and cognitive coping strategies to help you manage symptoms.

Are you struggling to get out of bed, losing interest in once-loved activities or feeling helpless and hopeless? The lethargic and foggy shutdown of depression can make everything in life feel just a few inches out of reach. The good news is that depression is readily treatable. I would be glad to help you explore what is keeping your body stuck in numb disconnection. Next, we form a plan to help you back to your best self. Together we tackle here-and-now symptoms with strategies of mindfulness and CBT, while also untying old knots from the past with emotion-focused and inner-child work. The heaviness of depression is your body asking for care. Are you ready to answer its call?

Feeling depressed? Lost interest in things you once found fun? Experienced unwanted changes in your sleep patterns or diet? Finding it hard to concentrate? Wondering if it will ever get better? There is hope, and I can help! I utilize a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approach that will help you identify your stressors, including internal thoughts, beliefs, and feelings that are keeping you stuck in the depression rut.
