Depression Counseling in South Barrington, IL.

People who struggle with depression often report feeling overwhelmed with life or less interested in activities. They struggle with maintaining focus and have difficulty in interpersonal relationships. While there are many types of therapy for the treatment of depression, today, most people with depression can be treated successfully with antidepressant medications, “talk” therapy (psychotherapy), or a combination of the two. Talk therapy is effective because it helps you to understand and work through the root of depression, helping you to identify patterns of thinking and behaving that underlie personal difficulties. With therapy, you will be able to live in accordance with your values.

Have you felt not good enough, rejected, or alone? You can feel helpless not being able to change your feelings. Depression can be scary and cannot be reasoned away. Depression is an energy disorder, a thief of enjoyment, accomplishment, connection with others, and self-care. I can help you identify, understand and regulate difficult emotions, and find a workable plan to address how difficult it can be.
