Depression Counseling in Gorham, NY.

Most individuals who come to therapy have a history of trauma, although many don't realize it. As a result, adults who have experienced childhood emotional neglect and other abuse often struggle to be their authentic self and to allow themselves to feel and validate their emotional experiences. This often leads to depression. Here at Spotted Rabbit we take a holistic approach to treating depression. We look at how our past and present lived experiences impact us, review the stories we continue to tell about ourselves, explore how our actions align with our values, and shift our relationships and environment to better meet our needs.

Depression can range from being draining to being completely debilitating. Wherever you land on that spectrum, so much of depression involves negative thinking of oneself, others, and the world. Talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy are research-backed successful tools in providing support for those experiencing depression. I use talk therapy to provide a space for clients to share their feelings and things that either lead to or are affected by their feelings of depression. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and shift negative thinking patterns as well as behaviors, which ultimately creates a more positive cycle in ones life and decreases symptoms of depression.
