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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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 and Anxiety are the number one mental health issues in the United States. Most people who suffer from depression don't get help for it, instead they suffer alone. Rather medicating it away, therapy can help you understand the roots of the depression and/or anxiety and learn specific tools to find relief from it. You don't have to continue living with sadness.

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.

When I work with depression, I help the client understand and accept themselves by uncovering trauma and anger issues that have not been healed. Then, I use a series of cognitive-behavioral techniques that help change the way they think about themselves. This process is very effective in increasing self-esteem, reducing powerlessness and lifting the cloud of depression.

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. If poor exercise, nutrition, sleep and social support contribute to your depression, I'll guide you to make changes and keep track.
