Depression Counseling in Lake Arrowhead, CA.

Depression can be the overwhelming mountain and clouds that seems impossible to overcome. Being able to have a sense of hope in times of depression is essential in overcoming the challenges, the cloudiness, the lack of clarity that comes with depression. Counseling can help with that. Counseling can provide tools to help you overcome depression, and can provide you with an individualized plan to make way and overcome the overwhelming tower or mountain that depression can be. Depression removes our energy, and overcoming depression can be a helpful way to regain energy, hope, and a purpose for life again. Let's work towards overcoming your depression together through therapy and interventions

It can often seem like society expects us to be happy and positive at all times, that any admission of sadness or a loss of motivation, energy, or engagement with life is a personal failure. But Depression isn't a personal failure, and it is also more than just "feeling sad". If you find yourself down in the hole of disconnection, surrounded by a fog that is interfering with your life and relationships, you need a hand to help you climb out. A trained therapist understands the mechanics of depression and can help you understand it and find strategies to make your way up and out of it, and back into the light. Please contact me so we can begin to work on this process together.

At My True Temperament Christian Counseling, LLC, our approach to relieving the symptoms of depression, such as fatigue, hopelessness, trouble concentrating, is to share with the client the healing power of the Holy Spirit and to administer a temperament report. We use cognitive behavioral therapy to help the client change his/her negative thought patterns.

Clients usually experience a progressive decline in mood, which can impact their emotions, the quality of their sleep, relationships (they may even begin to withdraw from others), and have persistent negative thoughts. Many clients prefer to explore viable holistic and integrative strategies before trying medication. In our collaboration, we will design a plan to explore possible options, strategies to strengthen effective coping mechanisms, and identify a plan to enhance the opportunity for recovery.
