Clinical depression usually requires two treatment approaches - medication for the biological condition associated with it, and psychotherapy for the emotional and behavioral effects involved. My approach to psychotherapy for depression focuses on the underlying issues, the negative cognitive patterns, and the behaviors that hinder and help the healing process. I work to develop a plan for moving out of the depressive state into a place of hope and change.

Depression comes in many forms and for many different reasons. Even those who care about you may not truly understand how crippling depression can be, which can make it worse by causing you to feel isolated. Our work together will examine the unique reasons for your depression and collaborate on the best way to better cope with or work through it. There is always hope, even if depression begs to convince you otherwise.

Depression can feel overwhelming and keep us from being the person that we want and know we can be. Many times it can be an indicator of difficult and painful relationships or situations in our life. It's important to explore the causes and/or triggers for our depression, and see how the slide into a depressive state has occurred. Rather than feeling stuck, we can start to explore your sadness or lack of motivation and start to rebuild the parts of you that are able to experience a life of happiness and contentment.

Depression can be crippling. By talking with an expert, becoming aware of the specific "kind" of depression (there are many kinds....hormonal, clinical, psychological to name a few ) you can understand the causes. By identifying the causes, your treatment plan will include looking deeper into the situations, people, experiences (past or present) which may be keeping you depressed. For instance, unresolved "anger" is a primary cause for depression. Also "loss" and "guilt". Talking will help. Your therapist will guide you in a direction to help you gain insight into what might be unresolved in your life and help you through it. Knowledge and understanding the causes are the beginning.
Shaelyn Pham, Ph.D.
The world does not look the same and nothing seems to matter when you're dealing with depression. It takes all the energy you have just to get out of bed in the morning. You know life has so much more to offer but at the moment you may feel very hopeless and helpless with the situation. You do not have to continue to live that way and you certainly do not have to deal with it alone. Dr. Pham's expertise in depression will help get you out of the hopeless, dark days so you may lead a happy and fulfilling life.

Depression is an insidious and highly individual disorder which frequently coexists with other medical problems that complicate the treatment of both. (NE Journal of Medicine, Dec 29, 2010) It develops without your really noticing it, and it rarely manifests itself the same way in two individuals. Most persons suffering from it say, “Well, of course I’m depressed! Wouldn’t you be if A, B, and C had happened to YOU?” In other words, the way the person feels seems normal and understandable. The person is unaware that the biochemistry of the neurons in the brain has altered. It is as if the brain were a car that won’t shift out of Low gear. The only way to reverse this process is a multi-facete

Do you feel irritability, insomnia, change in your appetite, or lack of energy? These are some of the symptoms of depression. In children, depression can manifest in ways such as tantrums, crying spells, and anger outbursts. I work with both children, adults and their families coping with depression, and help them find their unique ways to understand, communicate, and heal from depression.
Sue Passalacqua, M.S., MFT
Depression affects every area of an individual's daily life and can be devastating. My general philosophy and treatment includes a holistic approach. This means that I gather as much information as possible from my client so that I understand all the contributing factors to the depression as well as the anxiety that may accompany depression. I work from a cognitive behavioral approach to understand how the messages one gives to him/herself contributes to the depression and anxiety. I work with the client on developing healthy behaviors that contribute to restful sleep, relaxation, positive self-talk, and physical and emotional health.

Depression hurts--it hurts you and those who care about you. I have worked in the field of counseling and with depression and sadness for 30 years.

If you have felt this way for some time, it is imperative that you get professional help soon. I have an article on depression on my actual website: www.therapyhelp4you.com . I hope you will read it and give me a call so that I might help you find a way out of this "stuck" feeling and help you regain your life and hope for a different future.

I practice a type of therapy for depression called Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which research has shown to be especially effective with depressive disorders. Using CBT, we work together to discover underlying beliefs (which we call cognitive distortions) that are causing or contributing to your depressive symptoms. Once identified, we then use a variety of techniques to help you correct those thinking patterns that are causing you difficulty. We measure progress constantly so that we can try new techniques if needed, to help you feel better.

There are many varying degrees of depression, ranging from mild (in the case of a temporary minor life transition) to life-threatening (in the case of suicidal tendencies). Most people will experience several types of depression somewhere within this wide range, during the course of their life.
Because many who seek counseling for depression are usually dealing with moderate to severe symptoms, Ceci helps her clients become aware of the roots of their depression. Many times, the path toward healing entails a change in one's PERCEPTION of whatever situation is causing the depression. Identifying and modifying automatic thoughts tends to alleviate depression.

Feelings of depression can interfere with our relationships, work and ability to feel joy. Some of us may feel hopeless, worthless or sad. These feelings are capable of clouding our perspective and ruining our lives. It may be hard to get out of bed. You may experience difficulties with sleeping, concentrating, and/or focusing. Depression is one of my specialties. I help my clients to accept and express their feelings without judgment or shame. I provide a safe, comfortable, non-biased and nurturing environment to help you feel at ease. Through counseling, we will work together to help alleviate and overcome your depression. There is HOPE.

I can honestly say that every single person I have met has been discouraged / depressed at some point in their lives. It happens. Why? Because things do not always go our way. Because we cannot plan for every thing that will come up. Because sometimes, even I may not have all the answers. It does happen! That's ok though. If you don't have the answers reach out to those you can help.

Depression can have roots in the earliest years of our lives due to hurts at a sensitive age, or can result from current experiences of traumas, losses, and disappointments. Often these two origins dovetail, with current stressors resurrecting earlier levels of depression. A good therapy will take seriously the level and personal experience of depression. Clear introspection into the cause, development of truly effective coping strategies, and support for a process of working through depression is the basis of my therapeutic approach.

The most important thing to know about depression is that it is treatable, and with the right help, you will
be able to regain things that are important to most of us, energy, motivation, ambition, confidence, getting the right amount of sleep, eating healthier, and being able to do what we want in our lives. These can be negatively affected by depression, and counseling can assist you in getting back to feeling more like you have felt in the past.

It makes a person feel hopeless, and their future looks bleak. Depression can be caused by an interaction with the environment as well as a biological disposition.

Depression, whether it is a mild case of anxiety or a prolonged and deep period of sadness, can be really troublesome because you tend to shut down during the period it attacks you. Depression can drain your energy, drive, and hope making it extremely difficult for you to complete any activities – even those which you normally enjoy doing. Remember you were not born to be depresses. Ask for help and liberate yourself.

I specialize in helping people who struggle with never feeling quite “enough" and want to stop judging themselves so harshly. I am passionate about helping people discover self-acceptance. I personally understand the torment of living with an inner critical voice. For years, I lived with the fear that if I did not appear “perfect” I would disappoint others and be rejected. I learned to care and nurture the parts of me that I deemed unworthy of love. The liberation was tremendous. From my own experience and my clients' successes, know that you can experience greater intimacy in your relationships, develop self-compassion and enjoy your whole self – imperfections and all.

Depression is often a result of unprocessed losses in life. Taking the time to work through those things that have not been properly grieved, can greatly lessen the amount of depression you feel. A trained professional can come alongside you and help you sort through what has accumulated and is now a burden that inhibits living a full and satisfying life. We often carry a 'preserved mood' from our childhood that represents a place we were left alone to process, without the ability to do so. We can visit those old, stuck places and help free you up to move forward in life.

Depression can be debilitating and also can linger for years. I utilize Cognitive behavioral therapy to help people realize how negative, irrational thought patterns contribute to depression and how to better manage and control these thoughts. I also emphasize how our past can influence our present and help clients make the needed connections to recognize triggers and begin to make healthier life decisions not based on these old experiences. Sometimes, depression is caused by unprocessed life experiences and better learning your life story with a compassionate other helps to integrate thoughts and feelings that keep you living in chaos or rigidity bringing you into more peaceful state.
Jane Drew, Ph.D.
Depression is mainly a problem of lack of expression. What is held inside is negatively judged to the point where everything seems heavy and hopeless. What lifts depression is movement: 1) movement of talking about your feelings and what matters to you 2) movement of being out in the world: exercising, doing active things and connecting with others 3) movement of the spirit where you learn compassion for yourself and others. You realize we all have difficult times and dark days. You rediscover and acknowledge your strengths and what inspires you. Focusing on acceptance, appreciation, and gratitude, lightens you. I'd love to be your guide as you learn to love yourself and find joy in living.

Life can be very stressful these days. Cell phones, I Pads, smart phones, e mail, social networks all are fun and wonderful but they also bring with them higher expectations from work, family, friends and even ourselves. Our world keeps speeding up and the pressures can be great. Depression as an outgrowth of the stresses and pressures that surround us is becoming increasing common and a part of each of our lives.
Most of us will experience depression at one or more points in our lives. Medication can help but is usually not the long term answer. We will work to identify the problems, find solutions, set goals and work toward minimizing the causes and find more peace and calm.

Depression is often a state of confusion resulting from the lack of permission or guidance in processing difficult situations. An opportunity to work through past trauma can help lift depression so there is a greater emotional freedom to move forward and make choices in life. This support to process needs to be kind and understanding while providing a bit of a "push" to find the courage to face whatever scary feelings might be hidden away.

So few people really know how it feels to be depressed. They try and identify with the depressed person by telling them of their own experiences, when all they are typically describing is "feeling blue." And, they try to tell the person what s/he should do to get out of their "funk;" leaving the depressed person feeling even more lonely, helpless, powerless and discouraged. Using psychotherapy and/or neurofeedback training, I can help you get to the source of your depression, and regain renewed hope and control over your life.

Freud said that depression was "anger turned inward." When one feels depressed he/she has often lost touch with not only the anger that is inside but many other emotions. Depression is a state of shutdown. A gloomy mood takes the place of the feelings that have not been felt and experienced. This is one of my areas of specialization. I treat depression by building the client's bond and trust with me and guiding them inward to survey the emotional landscape that has been abandoned. We then trace their feelings to key events in their lives and connect the two. Grieving is a large part of working with depression. In time, your world view begins to change from grim to hopeful. Light appears!
Mary Ann Nugent, Psy.D.
Are you spiraling downward and unable to retain a positive outlook? The effects and perceptions of external circumstances can create internal disturbances. Together, in a secure environment, you will be able to express and explore your inner most thoughts and feelings. By increasing awareness of self defeating negative thoughts and patterns of behavior, we will be able to identify alternative choices of being and relating. Acknowledging and reconfiguring our thoughts is often the path to regaining a healthy sense of self and the future.

If you're feeling depressed, you're not alone. Roughly 10% of the population is depressed. Depression and anxiety are the most common symptoms treated by psychologists, and virtually everyone experiences these feelings with varying intensity throughout their life. Fortunately, there are a wide variety of effective treatments available, beginning with an exploration of the causes of your feelings with a trusted psychologist.

Depression is a feeling that can be painful at best and debilitating at its strongest point. Feelings of depression interfere with relationships, job success and quality of life. I have been treating individuals with symptoms of depression for over 30 years. With the use of cognitive behavioral tools, along with compassionate understanding, my clients have been able to find relief and begin to experience more happiness and success in their lives. We also set small goals to help move each person forward towards the things that give them pleasure.
Robert Puff, M.A., M.Div., Ph.D.
There are two emotions which can be utilized in the process of healing from trauma: anger and sadness. Sadness can be a very effective vehicle for healing. The only problem with sadness is that it is such a short leap from there to depression. Sadness heals; depression does not.
Depression can keep a person stuck in the same place for years without any progress. You must be very careful not to fall into depression when you decide to explore your feelings about the negative experiences of your life. Unfortunately, many people find the difference between sadness and depression to be obscure at best, and they often vacillate between the two. We encourage you to be very careful of depression becau....

When someone is suffering from depression, they first need to be assessed to see if there could be a medical cause or chemical imbalance. "Depression is rage turned inward." When a person becomes exhausted by the negative thoughts in their mind, they will sink into a depression. I teach clients how to identify negative thinking and replace this with a healthier pattern of thinking. Most people with depression also have relationship problems and sometimes a history of trauma. All these issues need to be addressed.

Situational Depression and Clinical Depression need different approaches. The hardest thing for a therapist to do is encourage someone who is depressed they need to take action. The hardest thing for a client to hear is they need to take action. Together let's explore how taking action would be beneficial and healthy for you. Let's figure out if your depression is situational and what we can do to lift the depression and live. Survival is okay but living is much better. You will gain important insight from your struggle and possibly be a stronger person in the future.

Depression can limit a person from thriving. These limitations can be be various and may include experiencing life as hard to get motivated or even wanting to stop existing. Thoughts of suicide are common, but not existing and not thriving can be overcome; depression can be managed. Therapy for depression will reveal the basis for your feelings of hopelessness and helplessness and help you to manage these feelings rather than be managed by them. You don't have to let depression control you. You can, with the help of therapy, manage depression so that you can thrive. Like waking up from a bad dream, you can experience a new life where you are not ruled by depression.

Research shows that Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) is the most effective treatment (sometimes in conjunction with medication), for Clinical Depression. I was originally trained in CBT. Also, I have found that other modalities, such as Voice Dialogue, Assertiveness Training, & Acceptance & Commitment Therapy can help. Finally, a Mindfulness practice helps & a good exercise & nutrition program are crucial.

Depression can be insidious and chronic causing you to feel like you can't connect, you're missing out on life or you're "going through the motions". This is no way to live! Don't settle for feeling detached and disconnected from your life, missing true joy and adventure. Tools can help you feel connected again and release buried feelings that keep you depressed. When depression becomes acute, you can't slow down, relax, can't sleep or sleep too much, feel a deep sadness, heaviness. Using tools for acute depression really helps you get back on track!

If you are depressed, you've probably been this way for awhile. Maybe it arose after a breakup, or from too many losss, or too much stress. Depression is a place no one wants to stay in! But how to get out of it? My methid of psychotherapy focuses on your current life situation. All of the aspects that make you feel so hopeless and stuck. I will ask about your past, so that we can understand how your personality was shaped. Some people want to take an anti-depressant, so I refer them to a medical doctor for consultation. But studies have shown that drugs are more effective if combined with psychotherapy. Let me reassure you: I've helped many people overcome depression, so why not you?
Ilissa Banhazl, MFT
Depression ranges from mild to major. The first thing I do when working with depression is increase your activity in baby steps. Even taking a walk around the block can help. Also, we feel what we think. We'll look at your thoughts (cognitions) and check for distorted thinking. If there is any we will look for evidence to support the thought and if it's not true; I will ask you to make a more rational response to your statements. Working with a professional helps get you out of the fog and back into your life.

Are you feeling sad, worried, overwhelmed and hopeless? Does life seem to be a constant struggle?
Depression can rob you of happiness, self-esteem, energy, motivation and interest in life. You can begin to believe things that just aren't true; that you're a failure, that the suffering will go on forever and that you’ll never be happy again.
It doesn’t have to be like that!
You can discover new skills to overcome life's challenges and difficulties, solve problems more effectively, interact more positively with others, and start getting more of what you want out of life.
There is hope! And I'd really like to help you start feeling better.
Trish Phillips, M.A., MFT
Depression can be hard to identify because it can look like many different things such as mood swings, relationship problems, weight loss or gain, sleeping too much or not sleeping enough, or just not wanting to do anything. I can help you look at the symptoms and develop a plan of self-care and support so that your symptoms lesson and you are able to get back to feeling like your self again. We will also explore deeper reasons that could be contributing to your feelings. You deserve a life that is fulfilling and rewarding.
Anita Jacob, MS, MFT
Do you feel sad or feel like crying most of the time, but you don't know why? Maybe you can't really identify what the problem is, but you would rather stay in bed than get up and face the world. I want to help. Depression can feel like a gray cloud just hovering over your head all the time and nothing seems to make it go away. I will teach you ways to challenge those feelings and the thoughts that often keep us trapped in those negative periods so that you can recapture those lost days. Let me help you.

Depression can cause many difficulties at work and at home, in marriages and our relationships with our childen as well as friends and coworkers. I help individuals suffering from depression by providing a safe and compassionate environment and by using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reduce depressive symptoms. This approach helps to reduce thoughts and beliefs that contribute to depression. It takes courage to seek help, however, having someone there to walk with you through the journey to health is so important.

I can help you to turn depressive feelings around so that you can feel stronger and live a richer and fuller life.

Depression is a difficult thing to experience. Perhaps life hasn't gone the way you had hoped and planned; sometimes disappointments becomes too great, and sometimes we can't seem to find what we're looking for in life. Sometimes depression has been with us for years, and sometimes it is brought about by a difficult experience, or series of experiences. The best thing you can do is find a safe place to share these feelings and talk about what you're experiencing. Putting feelings to words, and working through those feelings with a counselor, will help you get out of that stuck place. My office serves the cities of Long Beach CA and Orange County CA. I'm here to help.
