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.

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....

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.

I like to work collaboratively with my clients with a special emphasis on going at their own pace. When feelings of hopelessness, sadness, or lack of motivation is a primary concern, it is important to help clients find goals that they feel they are actually able to achieve. Providing a supportive, non-judgmental and peaceful atmosphere in therapy can help a client explore some of the more challenging struggles that has made him or her feel stuck, either in their personal goals or in important close relationships. Finding new strategies or coping skills to replace the ones that have stopped working becomes the new goal and transformations in outlook and relationships can begin.

Depression affects every aspect of a person's life. I educate my clients about the effects of depression, I assure them that there is no shame in being depressed and that is is widely recognized as a medical condition. I help them change negative thoughts and behavior patterns and explore situations that contribute to the problem. If may offer a referral for medication if needed.
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.
Tim Gergen, Ph.D
Occasional depression is part of being alive. Deeper and longer standing depression is another matter, especially if sadness, hopelessness or despair is effecting the quality of your life.

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.
Cynthia Peikoff, L.C.S.W.
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?

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.
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.

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!
Catherine Wheeler, MFT
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!

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.

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 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 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.

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.

Depression changes how we view ourselves and the world around us. Often time depression creates a very low energy or feelings of exhaustion. 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.

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 counseling involves assessing and making appropriate changes in the physical, emotional, and relational aspects of a client's life that are contributing to depressed mood. I work with clients to both remedy the underlying causes and their resulting cognitions, and the lifestyle habits that hinder their recovery. Often it is appropriate to work in conjunction with medical professionals who may suggest medications and/or nutritional supplements to correct the biochemical aspects of depressive episodes. Clients benefit most when their treatment is comprehensive and avoids dealing solely with symptom relief.

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.

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.

Trigger thoughts that cause depressive symptoms are identified, challenged and changed which allows for the healing process to begin.

The result will be a change in attitude where we come to terms with our past and look forward with hope and expectancy!

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, 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.
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.

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.

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.

Do you want your previous happy self to replace the intense sadness and emptiness that burden you now? Are you wishing you had the energy and desire again to do the things that bring you pleasure? Can you picture sleeping and eating normally again? Do you want your old confidence and zest for life back? These symptoms are depression and the good news is that you can absolutely get better and back to your old self! Depression can have many causes: biological, life experiences, and thinking/behavior patterns to name a few but there are clear steps that you can take to restore you to and even improve upon the quality of life you experienced before.

Listening to what's not there? What have you lost? What do you believe is being taken from you? Is your depression chronic, situational or acute? These answers guide us to how to best treat these issues. Depression is the common cold of todays culture. We need to rebuild the inner resources to survive and thrive in work, marriage and play. Some times depression also need medication to recovery. I support the role that medicine can play in recovery.

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.
