Depression is like a thief who comes in the night and steals your sense of wellbeing. Numbness is often a key characteristic . I see depression as an unwelcome visitation. First, we'll explore how depression keeps its hold on you; often allies such as perfectionism, a critical inner voice, or a perceived failure to live up to some socially constructed norm are instrumental in keeping depression in place. We'll also look at ways you may be already waging a fight against depression, and evaluate which strategies are helpful and which ones actually increase depression's hold. Together, we'll construct your path out of depression back into a life of vibrancy and promise.

Depression is NOT just "a bad mood." It's a serious condition which can hinder your ability to have a full life. If you no longer enjoy what you used to, don't want to "bother" to take care of yourself, are over/under eating, over/under sleeping, abusing alcohol or substances, isolating from friends or loved ones, you might possibly be depressed. Let's talk about it to form a plan of action and make some sense of it.

Depression hits different people different ways. Effective depression treatment works with individual experience. What are you going through? Many people battling depression experience sadness, hopelessness, and/or feelings of worthlessness. Some sleep too much, finding it difficult to get out of bed; others have difficulty sleeping, tossing and turning with insomnia. Some eat too much; others lose their appetite completely. And on from there... Call to discuss what you're experiencing and how therapy may begin to help you feel better.

Loss, family conflict, health issues, relationship struggles, money issues, hereditary components etc., all can contribute to feelings of depression. If you are feeling alone, isolated, sad, or experiencing physical symptoms, mood swings, insomnia, or weight changes then you are most likely suffering from symptoms of depression. I will help you to develop coping tools and resources to overcome your depression by creating a depression recovery plan, changing negative thinking, developing healthy life-style habits, stress reduction exercises, cultivating support from family and friends, and learning stress reduction methods.

How well are you coping with depression? Do you often want to burst into tears. Do you experience physical symptoms such as headaches, fatigue or stomach issues. Do you feel irritable or have trouble with your sleep patterns. Are you drinking or smoking more than normal. Do you rarely laugh or feel increasingly gloomy? Have you lost an interest in social activities? If you answered yes to these questions, you may not be coping well. The positive news is that there are many helpful tools to help you cope with depression. I utilize cognitive behavioral, brief therapy, narrative therapy, relaxation techniques and EMDR to help you reach your goals towards a healthy and productive life.

Depression does not have a single cause. Often it is a result of a complex of factors including biological, social, psychological, and physical. Depression can be a reaction to loss, the result of internalized rage, a result of life long negative thinking, early childhood abuse and/or trauma. Some people are genetically predisposed to experience depression. The first step in treatment is assessment and diagnosis. Treatment of depression is not a one size fits all. Your depression is different than the person down the street. The good news is that depression can be treated. Don't wait any longer; you do not have to suffer.

Depression can be seen in various ways depending on sex, age, etc. Although there are various signs that can signify that someone may have depression, it can be unique depending on who the person is and how they function. Clients will benefit from help with treating their depression from a talk-therapy means, however some individuals may also benefit from anti-depressant medication and/or medical treatment. The underlying cause of depression should always be discovered prior to treatment and I insist on working with the community and the client to find relief, happiness, and motivation.

Since one of my expertise is working with grief and loss, I often see people who come because they are "depressed" after a loss. Some people are given medication at the time of the loss to help them cope. I have found that many people in my practice who feel depressed are actually suffering from unresolved grief. Once the loss is dealt with and properly grieved (the allowance of the grieving emotions, which includes anger, sadness, guilt, regret, etc.), the depression lessens. If we see depression as "repressing" emotions, then the way to help one become less depressed is for them to learn how to properly deal with their emotions. I refer to a Psychiatrist for meds if it is indicated.

Depression is not something you can just "snap out of". Feeling sadness from time to time is a normal part of life. Depression is different from normal sadness in that it engulfs your day-to-day life interfering with your ability to work, eat, study, sleep and have fun. I will help you to identify the underlying factors that contribute to your depression. Through exploration we will discover and understand how your behavior and mood are affected by unresolved issues. Therapy will uncover patterns of behavior and feelings that stem from past experiences and unrecognized feelings will become apparent.

Depression is a symptom that may be the result of a cluster of unexpressed emotions that we carry in our body. Over time, we weave narratives around these emotions as they are deposited in our bodies. They take on a life of their own, creating body sensations, physical pains and even other symptoms. When we continually revisit the same “bad story,” we feel stuck in it. If the depression is an underlying symptom of a trauma that is wreaking havoc on the spirit, we partner up in therapy on the magical journey of gently uncovering the roots of the “bad story” and thereby releasing and discharging that which no longer holds true- allowing for the space in your spirit to create new stories.

We all feel down sometimes. Real depression is when we can’t get back up. Or it’s when we do so only after great effort, and even then it’s not all the way back. If sadness, hopelessness, and helplessness get in your way, that’s depression. Even mild or periodic depression can interfere in your life. It can also increase conflicts at work and in your relationships. Therapy helps, even without medication. Some people may benefit from medication, but that’s on an individual basis, and research shows that medication works best when it’s combined with therapy. We’ll examine what causes the depression, what you’ve tried, and what else can be done. Depression doesn’t have to stop your living.

When you feel depressed even a phone call seems like a difficult, if not impossible, undertaking. When you feel depressed nothing makes too much sense anymore, you're overwhelmed by any task in front of you, you'd like to be left alone, you either eat too much or too little, you find days are all the same, there is no joy or pleasure in people or events you used to enjoy. You're already a changed person and don't really know how and why to get back to your old self. Most definitely, you need to call me so I can show you how to cope with your painful condition and with a reality that above all seems overwhelming. Yes, there is a solution oriented therapy that may be exactly what you need.

Depression is far more common than has been generally thought. Folks find themselves feeling hopeless, unable to concentrate, lacking initiative, having difficulty making decisions, trouble sleeping etc. Depression involves a slowing down of the entire human organism as well as lowered self-esteem. Often our dreams and images can lead us to discover the deeper meaning of the depression. Therefore sometimes depression can be a pathway to self-discovery. As we explore together the underlying concerns, I listen in a way that provides the client with clarity, offer guidance without imposing decisions, accept the client as they are, without making judgments, as they move forward in achieving

Again deep breathing is the key here. The inhale will energize you and the exhale will relax you. Low energy is a key symptom of depression. Also hopelessness and helplessness. Changing the way you breathe will directly change your nervous system and change the way you feel physiologically. It will also change the way you perceive reality. If you have clinical depression (not situational) then medication in addition to psychotherapy may be advised. Mostly I help people get off medication. Exercise is as effective in treating depression as medication.

Many clients who come to therapy are suffering from depression at some level. Often, "talk therapy" is sufficient to help them overcome negative thinking and get back on track. Sometimes, the feelings of sadness or hopelessness are the result of a recent (or distant) life event. Other clients report having always experienced life in this way. Depending on the circumstances and the severity of the symptoms, a referral to a physician for a consultation about medication is necessary. Even in those cases, having a trusted, experienced counselor to talk to on a regular basis (in conjunction with the use of medications), can be invaluable.

Psychological treatment of depression (psychotherapy) assists the depressed individual in several ways. Supportive counseling helps ease the pain of depression, and addresses the feelings of hopelessness that accompany depression. Cognitive therapy changes the pessimistic ideas, unrealistic expectations, and overly critical self-evaluations that create depression and sustain it. Cognitive therapy helps the depressed person recognize which life problems are critical, and which are minor. It also helps him/her to develop positive life goals, and a more positive self-assessment.

If you are feeling angry, hopeless or stressed out you may be depressed. And, anxiety often accompanies feel depressed. Depression can be caused by many factors, such as family history, temperament, physical health, life events,or a chemical imbalance. Before you consider medication, try 'talk therapy' . There are many different approaches to 'talk therapy' which teaches you to make life changes. Medication doesn't teach you that!

When treating depression, I employ cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) therapy which is empirically validated in research studies to help people with depression. By modifying routines and behavior and learning how to challenge dysfunctional thoughts, clients are helped to improve mood in a relatively short time. This approach is collaborative, active, and supportive. Clients are usually asked to keep records, complete worksheets, test new behaviors, run experiments, and report back on the outcome.

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.

Research shows that approximately 20% of people suffer from symptoms of depression at sometime during their life. Some incidents of depression are considered "situational" (caused by the circumstances in which you find yourself) while others are often the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain. Regardless of the cause, most people can benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy -- a therapy that focuses on our thoughts. It is believed that our thoughts create our feelings (the way we interpret what something means causes us to feel joy, anger, jealousy, etc.) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change the nonproductive thoughts. It works!

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.

People errantly think depression is merely about sadness. It is not. The key "emotion" found in depressed people is shame. Their desires, dreams, and goals seem to disappear behind a cloud of shame. If you go to another therapist, you can spend 3-5 years with them never really hitting upon the key issue, shame. Contact Thomas to begin working your way out of your funk today.

You can fight depression by exploring how your present emotions relate to past experiences. These insights, gained under the guidance of a caring professional, can deliver release, increase your understanding, build your self-esteem. In parallel, you can learn ways to examine your thoughts regarding negativity, distortions etc. This helps you create more positive and realistic thoughts, moving away from having no control towards taking control. In addition, relaxation techniques can bring you a sense of balance and peace.

My belief is that depression is born from unexplored feelings intersecting with past and present life events. I gently guide clients to deeply explore core belliefs and emotions that are impacting how they view themselves and the world around them. As we challenge the myth and mystery of these feelings and beliefs, a new way of moving through the world begins to unfold and recovery can begin.

Depression can take over. We can turn unexpressed anger against ourselves. We can avoid confronting our obstacles and challenges in work or in personal relatiionships, and then we are left feeling discouraged, deflated and victimized. Energy comes from learning how to deal with life and the daily challenges it presents, navigating relationships and learning how to use our strength, our smarts, our ability to exert ourselves to overcome problems. We will look into how one got nto the depression, how you are keeping yourself there, and how to find manageable steps to get out. Support and dealing with one's self critical thoughts, disarming them, and taking corrective action works.

Many clients enter therapy feeling depressed or overwhelmed. After assessing for safety issues and/or the need for a psychiatric evaluation, I work with cients to understand the stressors or underlying issues (or events in the past) that have produced the depression. I work with the client to challenge their feelings of helplessness and focus on actions and beliefs that promote feelings of strength and hope. I help them redefine themselves as capable and valuable; moving from hopelessness to hopefulness, and finding the internal and external tools and strength to battle depressive, negative views of themselves that may have been burdening and depressing them for many years.

Depression is about loss. The loss can occur due to multiple aspects of one's life, both past and present. It also is often the result of erroneous thinking and conclusions that influence how someone feels about themselves, hampers self-concept, and deepens the depression. Although depression is in part genetic, coping with it successfully concerns how one thinks about loss and learning to recognize mistaken notions that when understood and felt can lead to resolutions of the behavior one does that increases the problem.

Depression is a complex condition that involves changes in mood, behavior and thinking. It can effect our most important personal and work related relationships. Physically, it can interrupt our sleep, appetite and energy level. Sometimes, a medical solution is needed and other times a psychological approach is best while other times a combination of both is the optimal treatment. As a psychotherapist with 28 years experience, I have helped many people overcome their depression through proven treatments that change the patterns of thinking, acting, and relating that tend to maintain depressive moods. Psychotherapy can greatly benefit the person seeking relief from this condition.
