Depression Counseling in Panorama Village, TX.

Depression comes in so many forms and it ranges on intensity. In my opinion, depression is usually a result of me not doing the things that I want for myself. We will work together to identify your true values, and figure out how to live a life based on those values. Building ourselves up and setting ourselves up for success, usually leads to a more fulfilling life.

In my practice, I specialize in treating Depression specifically, & mood disorders generally. Peer-reviewed empirical clinical research; including research I have personally conducted, co-authored, & published; suggests that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the preferred treatment - & the treatment modality that I also employ - for depression & depression-related symptoms. Over the course of treatment, CBT provides clients with symptom relief, a path to wellness, & positive outcomes by reducing current depressive symptoms. CBT also provides an additional, & therapeutically unique, benefit in that the tools & methods learned through CBT can be used to manage future issues that may arise.

I foster a safe and empathetic space where clients can openly express their emotions and challenges. I utilize evidence-based techniques to help clients understand the root causes of their depression, develop effective coping strategies, and cultivate resilience. Through personalized therapy sessions, clients can gain insights, learn valuable tools, and work towards a more balanced and fulfilling life, free from the grip of depression.

EMDR, Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing, has been proven effective for depression and anxiety.

We offer Ketamine Assisted Therapy under medical supervision with appropriate screening and post-treatment observation by an ER physician with over 20 years of experience with Ketamine administration.

I work with a depressed nervous system by working with the body. Often we struggle to sleep, eat, or accomplish relatively simple tasks. Our bodies are stuck with the brake on. When our body thinks it is futile, out mind follows quickly thereafter and we begin to tell ourselves how pointless things are and how worthless we are. I work with the whole body to re-regulate the body to enable you to get back to a whole integrated self.

Sadness is guided by biology and history. They perform a dramatic and often destructive dance which yields depression. Understanding that your mood is traceable and, with proper therapy - healable, sets the tone for our journey together. There is hope, connection, clarity and growth here. While I sometimes refer out for med therapy, I also believe that highly relational therapy is critically important to a sound, workable check-in that yields results. I would be honored to walk with you!

I use dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational enhancement, and person-centered techniques to assist individuals, couples, and families in reaching their goals.

Sadness and depression can really make you feel like you can't move forward with your life. Although some sadness is normal, however if you cannot get out of bed for days, not eating, not sleeping or too much sleep, and having suicidal thoughts, it may be best to get individual therapy. Therapy can help motivate you to build the life you want and get to what is keeping you from being productive.
