Depression leaves us feeling stuck, unable to function, with feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. One can often feel irritable and angry with difficulty sleeping. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms the earliest intervention is the best. Don't let these symptoms get any more ingrained without reaching out for the help that is necessary to move beyond. Research shows that the best approach to treatment for depression is talk therapy and medication management (if appropriate and not advisable for all individuals} We can explore the best approach for you. Sometimes depression is exasperated by past traumatic life events we can address those needs as well.

Depression. This form of mood disorder is extremely common among the clients I see. I meet the client where he/she is at. We take time to look at they triggers for the depressive response. Then we come up with a gameplan to build skills and tools to cope with the symptoms of depression. These symptoms typically include sadness, lack of motivation, increased/decreased sleep, problems in relationships, difficulty managing daily routines, and lack of hope for the future. I work with the client, side-by-side, to find that light at the end of the tunnel so to speak.

Depression is seen by some as a biochemical imbalance that is genetically transferred to the individual and can only be treated through medication. This might be part of the picture, but also a depressive, negative style of thinking can result in changes in the brain that bring about this unhealthy biochemical imbalance - and psychological treatment can change the thinking style that leads to this imbalance, rendering the individual to be free of reliance on medication and overall improved life that lasts on it's own merits.

A very useful book is "The Instinct to Heal: Treating Anxiety and Depression Without Drugs or Talk Therapy" - written by a psychiatrist who is also a specialist in integrative medicine. Research shows that Omega 3 fatty acids (fish oils), exercise, thought-changing, Dr. Pennebaker writing techniques, light therapy and a simple biofeedback process called HeartMath can all help resolve depression. I offer all these interventions to my clients. Together we will find the right combination of treatments for you. You can have more energy, sleep better, feel more positive and look forward to your future! If depression has resulted in weight gain, you can safely lose that weight. Don't give up!

Depression sucks. It can make you feel hopeless, empty, and alone, even when things in your life are going well. Whether your depression is chemical, situational, or a combination of both, I can help you find ways to act against that depressed feeling and take steps towards feeling better. It is common for Depression to impact your sense of self-worth, and vice versa. Thus the most effective therapeutic treatment for Depression is to re-focus on the traits and values that define who you are as a person separate from that feeling; you can then use those strengths to fight the Depression and get back to feeling like your old self again. I specialize in treating Post-Partum Depression as well.

Research has shown that the most effective approach to depression is a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and medication (if appropriate). I provide compassionate support for the painful challenges of depression while teaching the client to develop effective coping strategies including the ability to lessen negative thinking and increase their enjoyment of daily life. If a client is taking or wants to try anti-deprresants, I can help them with medication management. I also help family members of those with depression manage the stress it causes them as well as learn to use effective approaches to support their relative.

North Shore Center for Marital Therapy
Successfully treating depression has been an important factor in our success. We believe strongly that a marriage is impacted by depression and/or anxiety in a partner. Thus we treat the underlying depression as a cornerstone of the marriage. Our success with depression is very high, due to a strategy to treat the underlying cause of the depression for a long-term result. We approach depression in a holistic manner, looking at intelligent lifestyle choices as critical to mental health. Many patients are wishing to avoid medications, if permitted by their physicians, or augment their results, which we have had exceptional success with, with even years long, resistant depression.

Depression is an intruder. It gets in the way of personal happiness and pursuits. Depression also interferes in interpersonal relationships. So how do you deal with this intruder? Either you manage depression or it manages you. I assist my clients in developing coping strategies to manage depression so that it is less intrusive. Using modified thinking and acting strategies, individuals report improved mood and energy. I often hear my clients report, "I feel like myself again!"

Clients will be able to learn and apply various coping and emotional management skills to help them overcome depression and increase and maintain a higher functioning level.
Michael Stoller, LCSW
In over ten years of working with clients, I have seen more and more boys and men who struggle with depression. One of the challenges in addressing this condition is the stigma in our culture that when men and boys reach out for help, it is a sign of weakness. An integral part of my work with clients is to educate them about depression—where it stems from and the factors that can contribute to their depressive feelings. I help them look at all of the options available to treat their symptoms, motivate them to take steps to be part of their own treatment, and promote the idea that they can live a high-functioning life despite their depression.

In this world we face disappointment and disillusionment, as well as,disease, disaster and death. There is much as we look around that is depressing. In general, depression is anger turned inward toward ourselves when we look outside at the world and get discouraged and feel helpless or hopeless to do anything about it. I work with my clients to "walk through the darkness to see Christ's light" as well as encouraging through utilizing the tools of psychology to bring holistic resolution and healing. At Foundation Counseling and Training we know that Christ is our firm foundation. Please feel free to read more about me at www.foundationcounseling.com.

Dealing with depression can be one of the most difficult obstacles an individual can face. My approach to working with depression is starting where you are. I begin simply by listening to you. Form there we can work on the basics, sleep schedule, diet, and exercise. Depression can be beaten with patience and consistency. I have found success using several forms of treatment for depression, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and psychodynamic theory. The goal is to stop the cycle of negative emotions causing negative thoughts and then negative thoughts causing negative emotions. It's a difficult cycle but together we can recognize unhealthy patterns and change them.

Sometimes people feel depresed and can atribute it to stressful events that have occured, other times people can't quite put their finger on why they feel depressed, they just know they're not happy, feel unmotivated, and in some cases hopeless and helpless. What we now know about neuroscience helps us understand how and why depression occurs. I will help you determine whether your depression can be improved through talk therapy combined with some changes to your daily routine or whether a clinical depression has set in that may respond well to medication too. I have a wonderful, caring Doctor I work with who will assess clinical depression and offer recommendaitons if necessary.

I think that my most important technique is to assist individuals in recognizing that depression is a condition and is not a form of laziness; many individuals have expressed a sense of relief as others have encouraged them to "just get over it". I utilize a combination of support and encouragement, including discussions of successes and challenges. I strongly discourage the use of the word "should" and any judgmental language. In addition, I believe that there is no specific time table for recovery, and that each individual is unique in their recovery.

Mary Lynn Meyers, LCSW
Research has provided significant evidence that depression can be improved or even eliminated with a wide range of interventions. Although many believe that the “gold standard” treatment for depression is medication and talk therapy, I believe that the least intrusive intervention should be targeted first. Try talking to a therapist before getting medication prescribed. I will help you examine how you’re thinking about the problem may be actually supporting your depression, how your relationships may be contributing to your sense of sadness and frustration and how you can begin to make concrete behavioral modifications to begin the path to recovery. Recent studies show that medication is most eff....
