FIND RELIEF FROM DEPRESSION

Depression Counseling Services

Depression can look different to each person. Some people’s depression is not even noticeable to those around them. You don’t have to hide how you are feeling. Therapy can help you take off the mask that people often wear to hide their suffering. 

Therapy offers a secure and private setting to share your struggles with depression. It allows for a deep exploration of the underlying reasons behind your feelings, helping you uncover productive coping mechanisms and gain assistance in handling difficult emotions. Build resilient strategies with professional support to effectively manage your mental well-being.

Navigating Depression: Identifying and Challenging Negative Thoughts

What do you think about yourself? What does your internal voice say to you? If you have a blanket statement to sum up who you are, this might be your core belief. It is important to understand and identify our core beliefs to understand how we see the world and ourselves.

Your core beliefs are first formed by your primary caregivers. The type of attachment you had to your primary caregiver, your caregiver’s morals and beliefs, and the way they presented the world to you all come together to create a core belief. As we go through life, our core beliefs are changed by our experiences. Some experiences reinforce your core beliefs, and some experiences challenge your core beliefs.

Our mental health can dramatically change our core beliefs. When you are going through a depressive episode, your thoughts can become illogical, harsh, and overall untrue. We can work together to identify the changes in your thoughts and understand how these thoughts are impacting your ability to live your everyday life.
