What Makes Therapy Such An Effective Treatment For Depression
5 Positive Habits From A Depression Therapist To Help Improve Symptoms Of Depression
Depression Treatment Can Help You
As a depression therapist, I’ve helped hundreds of people improve their moods, and reduce the symptoms that they were experiencing. I understand how hopeless things feel when you’re depressed and how hard it can be to seek help, but there is hope that you will be able to feel better.
As a skilled depression therapist in Duluth, GA, I can help you
Explore the root of the problem
Before solving a problem, it is important to understand where it started and how it developed. When it comes to depression therapy, often this involves understanding when your depression started, what types of things trigger your depression, and also what types of beliefs you have developed over time that may be maintaining your depression.
Learn to cope with your symptoms
Of course, your main goal is probably to get rid of the feelings of depression that you’ve been having. We will spend a lot of time developing strategies for you to try in order to improve your mood and reduce your feelings of depression. We can also work on how you will handle feelings of depression when they are likely to come up (family situations, school or social situations, etc).
Improve your relationships with others
Often, if you have been feeling depressed for quite awhile, you have probably been neglecting your relationships with your peers for some time. Part of therapy will involve helping you to re-establish connections with your social group so that you can begin to engage in enjoyable activities with them and you can start to feel more confident in social situations.
Common questions about depression therapy
-
For therapy sessions we will either meet online or in my office in Duluth, GA. In general, during therapy sessions we will talk about the issues that you are struggling with and focus on understanding both where these issues come from and ways that you can cope with your situation. We will discuss what you can do to decrease your symptoms and how you can improve your relationships. Prior to starting therapy, you can schedule a free 15 minute consultation with me, during which you can get a sense of what therapy sessions might be like.
-
You may have been experiencing symptoms of depression for years, but if you’ve never received professional help, there is a good chance that therapy could help. Often, depression symptoms will continue until someone receives professional intervention of some kind. It is definitely worth trying therapy if it is not something you’ve tried before.
-
There are multiple ways to treat depression, and antidepressant medication is just one of these methods. Often, therapy alone can help people get rid of their symptoms. Sometimes people benefit from a combination of therapy and antidepressant medication. Everyone is different in terms of what type of treatment works best for them, and I will work with you to create the most effective treatment plan.
-
Therapy for depression is an investment, not only of money, but also of time and energy. My guess is that you’ve tried other things to improve your life, but that these things haven’t helped. Often people have been struggling for a long time, and have lost years of their life to their symptoms. It can be worth it to meet with a depression therapist who has been helping people for many years to see how much you may be able to improve with treatment.
