Depression Counseling in Oak Ridge, NC.

Depression is the worst. Depressed people feel out of control and hopeless. How can they possibly manage their lives and the stress of everyone else? Ok let us get down to it. Depressed people are angry, over worked, over everything. The way out is going backwards. I will explain that when I see you. No one seems to have answers that really help. I have a specialty certification and years of experience helping people who are depressed. I can help you too. www.MarriageCounseling.org

Depression is something that most people do not understand unless they have experienced for themselves. I know many people have been told to "just get over it" or to "snap out of it", but I also know that if people could they would as depression is not anything that anyone would choose. I believe that depression occurs, in part, when life gets out of balance within the 4 selves of the individual. I help people address each of the 4 selves to bring themselves back into balance so that they can live a rich and full life.

If you feel like you cannot get out of bed in the morning, feel like you are in quick-sand or no longer feel the energy to do the things that you once cared about, you may be suffering from depression. Depression is a major energy zapping condition. I can help you discover what is the reason for your depression whether it is circumstantial, chemical or environmental. I am here to help you find the solution to getting better.

Depression is quite common and is often associated with an experience of emotional loss after which normal grief is not fully experienced for some reason. Suppressing, ignoring or dismissing feelings of loss can lead to depressive symptoms. As a Telemental health therapist, I assist clients experiencing dysthymia or mild persistent depression, seasonal affective depression, postpartum depression and situational depression or difficulty in adjusting to a stressful, traumatic life event such as a miscarriage, job loss or divorce. If you are experiencing a psychotic depression or a major depressive episode, I believe you are better served by seeing a local therapist for in-person support and your safety.

Healing from past wounds, identifying false beliefs developed from childhood/life experiences, and working through the accompanying grief/loss will be the key to finding healing and freedom from depression and discouragement. As we do this, we will also work to replace these hurts and wounds with the truths about who the person was created to be, so that the client finds contentment and joy once again, sometimes despite the circumstances.
