Depression Counseling in Oak Ridge, NC.

GraceRenewal Counseling 1) traces the pain of depression to unmet, inborn temperament needs of - the mind (for information), - the emotions (for affection), and especially of - the will (for structure / schedule) - support with regard to decision-making (for making scheduled choices each day which support health and happiness and productivity) and also 2) helps identify support resources in the home, Church, and community for meeting those needs.

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.

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.

Depression can leave you feeling stuck and unmotivated. Reaching out and starting the therapy process will support you in better understanding the causes of your symptoms. We will unpack the physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual contributors of your depression, develop new habits to help pull you out of the lows, and help restore your confidence in yourself. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches to develop your personalized treatment plan and make the way forward clear for you.
