Depression is the leading mental illness today. It is easy for those who have never suffered from depression to set in judgment on those who do. Don't allow the opinions of others to keep you from getting help. Depression is a very treatable illness. Most depression is caused by some external life event that needs to be processed through. Here at Gateway we help you discover the event and process through it. We explore whether that event was in the past, the present or a combination of the two. We also help you assess the severity of the depression and then together agree on the best treatment plan for it. There is hope for the depressed person. We are here to help restore it to you.

If you’re feeling down, are lacking motivation, or lacking motivation, you’re not alone. The demands of work and home life can take a toll on any man. Not many understand the unique pressures you face, and this can be frustrating, lonely, and isolating. Whether you feel like things are falling apart, or you’re still hiding it pretty well, there is hope. I often use EMDR therapy and a faith-based perspective to help men uncover and heal the source of their issues, and discover their peace, hope, and motivation in life. One of the insidious parts of depression is that while you’re in the fog, it’s hard to be objective. I will help you walk through this fog until we get to the other side.

So often, depression is a natural response by people who feel overwhelmed by all that is required to engage with and enjoy the world. After 42 years in the field, I have learned that the secret to helping clients get past that overwhelmed feeling requires only two easy steps. First, I listen closely to find out what people's natural strengths, skills, and gifts are. Then I gradually give them very small assignments called "baby steps" that rely on their strengths. Each small change has huge results, and depression soon fades away as each step is achieved.
