Depression
What is depression?
Are you feeling a sense of general malaise? Are you having trouble getting motivated? Are you feeling sluggish or find that you’re lacking the energy to get through your day? Are your thoughts about yourself, the future, or the world becoming increasingly negative? All of these can be symptoms of depression.
Depression can range greatly in severity and symptomology. While some clients come to therapy due to long standing depression, others arrive with a general feeling of being unsatisfied with, or disconnected from their lives.
How can therapy help?
Having a professional help you identify your symptoms is an important first step in healing. The good news is that depression can be treated through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps you shift thoughts and behaviors so that your life becomes brighter.
Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, you can work toward your most important life values, realigning with what is meaningful in your life. These approaches can help you break through that pervasive grey, “meh” feeling.
