Depression Counseling in Marysville, MI.

Depression is a TREATABLE illness. Let's get that out of the way! I know that depression can make you feel helpless, but you are not helpless. Taking the first step is asking for help. There is no “one size fits all” treatment that cures depression so a client should not expect immediate results. It is important to be realistic about your symptoms and your goals. Treatment takes time and commitment from both of us. You are not alone.

Depression therapy can help you to uncover your underlying concerns, fears, and needs, and develop coping mechanisms to begin to manage your symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral therapy, and other modalities can help teach you to live with a greater sense of inner peace. You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Please understand that stress can affect us all. It can be improved with therapy. You can get better. Hopeful Minds Psychology Group has licensed and trained counseling specialists ready to work alongside you today. They will work to help you build the resilience and life skills necessary to feel better and be happy again.

When struggling with depressed moods, everything feels heavy and you lack a sense of meaning and purpose. Even the most simple tasks can feel impossible. If you find yourself turning to alcohol, substances, or other addictive behaviours to cope with depressed moods, there is a way out. I help clients with addictions overcome the depressed moods causing them to turn to substances or addictive behaviours to cope. Everyone is different, so I work with you to develop a plan that fits your unique situation. If you are unsure where to start, send me a message. If I'm not the right fit, I can connect you to resources that will allow you to start getting help today, without having to wait.

Depression is often caused by the negative experiences which have impacted us. Instead of avoiding the negatives experiences we need to understand them. However, often what happens is that too many individuals are focused on the negative. When that occurs the negative usually expands. Learning to minimize the negative and expan the positive is one insightful tool everyone should use. Depression is something I personally have struggled with in my personal life so I have my own insights to share in conquering depression.
