Depression Counseling in Boyd, TX.

There are reasons you have arrived here. They likely aren't your fault, and it wouldn't matter if they were. You need help getting out. Before trying to simply medicate you, I want to know your story. Depression feels like we're been swimming across a large body of water, too far from shore, and now we are out of energy.

I often use EMDR therapy and a faith-based perspective to help men uncover and heal the source of their issues, and discover their peace, hope, and motivation in life. One of the insidious parts of depression is that while you’re in the fog, it’s hard to be objective. I will help you walk through this fog until we get to the other side.

I work with the whole body to re-regulate the body to enable you to get back to a whole integrated self.
