Depression Counseling in Brandon, FL.

In my experience, I have noted there are many factors contributing to depression. Depression manifests physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or in any combination of these. Sometimes treatment involves a combination of medication and counseling interventions. However, because of the intricacies of depression, what works for one person may not prove effective for someone else. Sometimes relief is a matter of trial and error until that effective combination of interventions is identified.

Depression can color your world with a grayness that is hard to escape from. Depression can be very complex, involving a lot of heavy feelings and emotions.

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.

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.
